Colorado Symphony Two Great Bs: Beethoven vs. Brahms

Although music historians often refer to the Three Bs of classical music (Bach, Beethoven and Brahms), the two “youngsters,” Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms, are frequently compared to one another apart from Bach. Beethoven came first, setting the standard against which Brahms would be measured, a fact that reportedly left the younger man a bit intimidated. Yet, due to the nature of their music and personalities, their stories often intertwined. Join music historian Betsy Schwarm as she introduces you to the complicated interplay between the men’s music and their legacies. What are the similarities and differences in the paths taken by these two composers to arrive at the top of their profession? In what ways do their musical works differ? How did Brahms cope with being compared to Beethoven? Hear excerpts from the composers’ personal correspondence to better illustrate their ambitions and goals, as well as highlights from the masters’ compositions to compare their achievements. Along the way, attend the Colorado Symphony’s performance of Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 and his choral work, Nänie, before returning to the final class to discuss your impressions of the experience. Come away with greater appreciation for the legacy of the Two Great Bs and a better understanding of why they and their music continue to make an impact. 10% discount to Symphony subscribers.

Denver Center for the Performing Arts Islam 101: Understanding the World’s Second Most Popular Religion

“By Schisms Rent Asunder”: The Christians

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world: By 2050, the number of Muslims around the world will almost equal the number of Christians. Google “Islam in the news” and more than 400 million results appear. Yet the majority of Americans don’t know anyone Muslim and many feel they know little about Islam. Gain clarity into the world’s second most popular religion under the guidance of Andrea Stanton, assistant professor of Islamic Studies. Examine the basic beliefs and practices of Islam, discuss how the Qur’an relates to the Torah and the Bible, outline the history of Islam in the U.S., and connect these issues to the present day. By course’s end you’ll be able to answer questions such as: Who is Muhammad? What does Islam say about Jesus? What is shari`a and how does it relate to politics and society? What is the difference between Sunni and Shiite? What is Sufism? How do extremists justify their views? What roles have American Muslims played in sports and music? Join Stanton for a DCPA performance of the Pulitzer Prizewinning play Disgraced, which tells the story of a secular American Muslim who becomes the target of anti-Islamic sentiment. Return for a final class to discuss the issues raised in the play and come away with a new understanding of the interaction between theology and politics, belief and culture within the Islamic faith. 10% discount to Denver Center subscribers.

According to Christianity’s historic creeds, the Church is “one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.” How can the Church be thought to be “one” when there are three major branches of Christianity—Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant—all born of schism? According to a recent sociological reckoning, more than 34,000 denominations exist worldwide. Why are Christian denominations so prolific? Why can’t American Christians just “love one another” as Jesus asked his followers to do? Inspired by Lucas Hnath’s recent play, The Christians, which students will see at DCPA as part of this course, Gregory Robbins, a historian of Christianity and its scriptures, explores Christian divisiveness past and present. The play concerns a rift in a contemporary mega-church, but asks us to consider much more. To be sure, the doctrine of salvation is at stake, but how is soteriology related to human nature and the institution of the family? After all, as one critic put it, “a church schism, at its core, is a family split.” The playwright goes a step further: “A church is a place where people go to see something that is very difficult to see,” Hnath observes. “A place where the invisible is— at least for a moment—made visible.” How does the play itself reveal subtle truths about Christian practices and beliefs? Gain a better understanding of schisms within the Church and a deeper sense of who we are as human beings. 10% discount to Denver Center subscribers.

How is it possible that so many extraordinary artists (and paintings) emerged from Renaissance Venice? Bellini, Titian, Giorgione, Tintoretto, Veronese, Carpaccio … they all thrived during a time of significant change across Europe and, more locally, Venice. Join Scott B. Montgomery, associate professor of Art History, as he takes you on a journey through the remarkable achievements in painting by masters of Renaissance art in Venice (formerly known as the Most Serene Republic). What are the unique characteristics and innovations of Venetian painting and what is their relationship to earlier traditions in iconography and technique? Beginning with a survey of the city’s topography and medieval school of painting, Montgomery introduces the context of the developments of Renaissance painting in the 15th and 16th centuries. Examining both major and minor works by the most significant painters of the Venetian Renaissance, Montgomery will focus upon large works that remain in situ in Venice. Learn how these works of art actually “work”— what they represent, how they convey meaning, and how they engage the viewer. Examine works first-hand during an instructor-guided tour of the Denver Art Museum’s exhibition, Glory of Venice: Masterworks of the Renaissance. Come away with a deeper appreciation for the great painters of Renaissance Venice, including the world in which they lived and helped create. 10% discount to DAM members.

Clyfford Still Museum/Denver Art Museum Shade: Clyfford Still and Mark Bradford in Dialogue

During the spring of 2017, the Clyfford Still Museum and the Denver Art Museum will collaborate on Shade, a two-person exhibition featuring the work of two painters from two very different generations—Clyfford Still (1904-1980) and Mark Bradford (b. 1961). While Still’s work is wellknown due to his role in the development of abstract expressionism (and, in Denver, through his namesake museum), Bradford has slowly emerged over the past 15 years as one of the most celebrated painters of our time (he’ll represent the United States at the 2017 Venice Biennale). Bradford makes what might best be described as a politically engaged abstract art: His works read as paintings, yet they’re typically fabricated with paper, street detritus and other collage elements that are altered to make their source open-ended. Abstract Expressionism coincides with the beginnings of civil rights, a fact Bradford finds ironic since this movement was principally non-figurative. Helping to select many of Still’s works for the Shade project, which originated at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY, Bradford’s goal was to shine a light on race and the importance of context in relation to 1950s art. Join CSM director Dean Sobel to consider the legacy of abstract expressionism and more specifically the impact of the intergenerational dialogue between the two artists’ work. What is significant about Bradford’s choice of title, Shade, for this exhibition? What was the meaning behind Still’s frequent use of the color black and other dark tones (grey, brown, umber), and how did Bradford’s fascination of this practice manifest in his own work? Explore the differing ways these two artists viewed the purpose of their work and come away with compelling insight into how their work speaks to each other. Students will have the opportunity to view examples of Bradford’s work at the Denver Art Museum, while also considering Bradford-curated galleries of Still’s art at the Clyfford Still Museum. The first class will be held at the Clyfford Still Museum. 10% discount to CSM and DAM members.

Newman Center for the Performing Arts Drumming Men: Kodo- and the Magic of the East

Throughout, the devil of it is the combination of the discipline of a surgeon’s scalpel with the primitive, muscular endurance of a cavalry charge. The speed and dexterity are as impressive as the physical tenacity is breathtaking. ~ Chicago Tribune In fact, few theatrical experiences can compare to a night with Kodō, the fabled Japanese taiko (drum) troupe making a rare visit to Denver. Exhibiting intense athleticism with raw emotion through percussion and movement, a performance by this ensemble is an unforgettable thrill.

Cook Street School of Culinary Arts Smörgåsbord: A Viking-Inspired Scandinavian Feast

At a time when culinary professionals seem to be obsessed with farm-to-table foods, it’s no surprise that Scandinavian cuisine has leaped in popularity across the world. Born in a region with a short, intense growing season, Scandinavian cuisine features simple farm fare, whole grain breads and seafood. Hearty and delicious! Join Cook Street School of Culinary Arts for a smorgasbord of Scandinavian foods as you also hear about the countries and cultures that make up the far North. The word “smorgasbord” literally means “buttered table,” but in practice a smorgasbord is a Scandinavian meal served buffet-style, starting with fish and moving on to cold meats, then warm dishes. Therefore, your first course at Cook Street will include a “Smørrebrød,” which is house-made ancient rye bread artfully topped with various ingredients including arctic char, salmon, lobster, potato and remoulade. For your second course, enjoy birch-smoked lamb with barley risotto, wild mushrooms, nettle salt and Skyr (similar to yogurt). Learn why root vegetables are standard fare and why spring’s first berries (currants, cloudberries, strawberries) are celebrated along with the arrival of the season. For dessert, try Vinarterta, a traditional Icelandic layered cake filled with fruit and iced with almond-flavored buttercream. Quench your thirst with pairings of Dutch beers and German and Austrian wines. (Scandinavian imports are scarce!) Come with a Viking-sized appetite and leave with an appreciation for the simple, healthy close-to-nature farm fare favored by the Scandinavians.

Stranahan’s Last Call! Lessons from Prohibition

The 18th amendment to the Constitution wasn’t simply a moral prescription against alcohol; it was a band-aid covering much deeper wounds in a nation divided over immigration, women’s rights, equitable taxation and America’s role in the world. Today, those topics sound eerily familiar and, in some cases, our country seems poised to repeat past mistakes. Join instructor and journalist Bill St. John as he reflects on the early 1900s when the country grappled with big change and responded with at least one ineffective law. First, Bill discusses the events that led to Prohibition and why the law had little to do with alcohol abuse and more with fear. German and Irish immigrants, women seeking the vote, and the end of World War I all challenged society’s sense of comfort. Instead of facing their real fears (racism, sexism), people blamed the “evils” of alcohol. Then consider contemporary issues through the lens of decisions made in the 1920s—such current hot-button topics as immigration, same-sex marriage, environment and energy, climate change and religious freedom. Readings from Daniel Okrent’s Last Call: Rise and Fall of the Prohibition and excerpts from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s documentary Prohibition serve as reminders of what people faced in the 1900s, challenging us to question our own decision-making processes today. Cap the course on a lighthearted note with a private class-only tour of Stranahan’s distillery.* Oh, how the temperance societies would revolt! *All Stranahan’s guests must be 21+ and are required to have a valid ID with proof of age.

Nutrition Therapy Institute Fight the Fire Within: Cooking and Eating to Reduce Inflammation

It has become increasingly clear that chronic inflammation causes or contributes to many serious illnesses: heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, acne, eczema, psoriasis, chronic fatigue, asthma, sinus infections, allergies, migraines, acid reflux, celiac disease, IBS, depression, Lyme disease … and the list goes on. Even some forms of cancer are believed to be caused by inflammation. But what causes inflammation in the body and how might you change your diet to avoid it? Join Natural Foods Chef Tracy Spalding as she guides you through the preparation of foods that will positively influence your health. First, understand what inflammation is: the cornerstone of the body’s attempt at self-protection. When our bodies become inflamed, they’re trying to remove harmful stimuli, such as damaged cells, irritants or pathogens, in order to begin the healing process. Chronic inflammation is especially harmful to the body and can be caused by stress, lack of exercise, genetic predisposition, exposure to toxins and, of course, diet. In this hands-on course held in the Nutrition Therapy Institute’s kitchen, Chef Tracy explains which foods to avoid and why. Then, using high-quality, organic, non-GMO, farm-raised foods, and antiinflammatory ingredients that can be easily added to your diet, she helps you create healthy meals, serving up a tasty dinner each night. Along the way, discuss the importance of incorporating good quality protein, fats and an abundance of vegetables and fruits into your diet. Come away with a new respect for your body’s needs and the skills and knowledge to create healthy, yummy meals at home— and enjoy three nights out for dinner while you’re at it! Weekly Menus: • March 22: Pork tenderloin, roasted vegetables with walnuts, ginger wasabi sweet potatoes • March 29: Zucchini noodles with garlic shrimp and romesco sauce • April 5: Coconut curry chicken, mashed cauliflower, sautéed kale with almonds Class size is limited to nine students, allowing for an intimate setting and dialogue attuned to participants’ needs.

What Our Students Are Saying For the Love of Learning! Concise, clear presentation. Could have been two classes! Loved her! Please, more of her! ~ Stephanie Ohnigian The presenter was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable and answered everyone’s questions with great ease and explanation. I thoroughly enjoyed his expertise and occasional use of humor. ~ Deb Henson The teacher ... is a master of her art and her teaching methods. The entire class was enthusiastic to follow her guidance. This is “hands down” the finest creative course I have ever taken, and I have taken many. ~ Florence Van Bebber [He] was an exceptional speaker. He tied all the information together so well and helped us to see some things from a fresh perspective. ~ Jennifer Schneider Overall I thought the professor was great and encouraged participation often. ... different views were expressed and exchanged. The time allotted seemed like a lot, but each time we had to quit ... we were really engaged and could have gone on longer. ~ Craig Christensen

Philosophy & Ethics The End of Ethics

Yes, that is a double entendre. But as I come to the end of my career as a teacher of ethics, I can’t help but reflect on that finishing moment as well as on what 22 years in the classroom has taught me about the purpose and meaning of the ethical enterprise. ~ Buie Seawell

Join esteemed Daniels College of Business Professor of Ethics Buie Seawell for a thoughtprovoking exploration into the topic of ethics. Prompted by his recent re-reading of the later writings of German theologian and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer (principally, Letters and Papers from Prison and Ethics), Buie leads a conversation in four episodes: What Is Ethics? Why Is Normative Ethics a Dead End? Why Is It Important to Keep God Out of the Ethical Enterprise? and The End of Ethics. In the final year of his life, imprisoned by Hitler and awaiting death, Bonhoeffer wrote of “a world come of age” where secular men and women would seek to build meaningful lives outside the structures and strictures of conventional religion and morality. “We are of that time,” states Buie. “The sterile discipline of coming up with cold ethical abstractions, i.e., principles, really does nobody much good, except perhaps the self-righteous. I hope that my years within the conventional Church, the graduate classroom and in the world of politics may have generated some useful thoughts on life, meaning and the end of things.” Gain insight into the compelling writings (and thoughts) of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and wisdom from deep discussions with Professor Seawell and fellow class members.

The Bible and Social Justice

Not Just a Game: Peanuts, Popcorn and the Billion-Dollar Sports Industry

The Bible is scripture to Jews and Christians and continues to be an important influence on social norms, laws and ethics in our Western society. A fundamental message in the Bible surrounds the idea of social justice: What is our responsibility to those among us who have less or who face challenges that we ourselves have not experienced? What does the Bible suggest (demand) of its followers so that they may help to create a better world? Join Alison Schofield, associate professor of Hebrew Bible and Judaic Studies, to consider excerpts from the Bible, asking how the text has inspired, challenged, inhibited or motivated the search for social justice and peace. For example, Christians view Matthew 25:40 as their rallying cry to serve others. In it, Christ said, “Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Using several other Bible passages as starting points, explore different philosophical and theological theories of justice and how these might better help us to understand current issues of (in)justice, poverty, violence, race and gender relations, suffering and charity in the world today. Midway through the course students will gather for an off-campus service-learning experience (location TBA) that will address an issue of need or injustice in the Denver community. How is the organization’s vision of justice reflected in its work? Come away with a deeper understanding of the Bible’s influence on our society’s approach to justice.

A specialist in the Dead Sea Scrolls (ancient religious manuscripts originating in Jerusalem), Alison was granted rare access to the scrolls in the Israel Museum of Jerusalem and discovered missing fragments that had been lost to scholars for more than 2,000 years.

From the Roman gladiators to the first Olympians, athletes and sporting events have long been intertwined with culture, economy and even our vocabulary (It’s a slam-dunk!). Yet, perhaps at no other time in our history have sports served as such giant economic drivers in our society. Join economist Daniel Zuchegno as he examines the economic aspects of sports in the United States at both the professional and collegiate levels. Starting with professional sports, Zuchegno dissects the administrative and operational structures of various leagues and teams. Why do some teams, such as the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Cubs (until recently!), fail to perform well so consistently? How do draft protocols and salary gaps enhance and hinder team performance? Next, dig into the sources of revenue that teams enjoy, including gate receipts, television contracts, government kick-backs and their own broadcast rights. Are major league teams merely tools for real estate development and private profits? Who foots the bill when a new stadium, arena or ballpark is built? Then, look at the industry in terms of labor issues, including the power of the unions versus the power of the leagues. What are athletes owed if these vast revenues are created by their talents? Finally, consider the world of college sports, including the dominance of the Power 5 conferences. Guest speakers from professional and/or collegiate sports visit to share their insights. Come away with a better understanding of the economic winners and losers in the sports industry today.

Social Sciences In the Company of Non-Human Animals: Daily Mental Health, A Lifetime of Support

Freedom and its Opposites

The University of Denver is home to the internationally recognized Institute for Human-Animal Connection, a center for the study of the interrelationship and health of people, animals and the environment through the lens of the social sciences. Led by the Institute’s Executive Director and Clinical Professor Philip Tedeschi, along with special guest Samara (Philip’s black lab), explore how respecting and taking care of other animals offers unique and fulfilling opportunities for caring for ourselves. Research shows that our connections with nonhuman animals help to shape our entire lives, offering relational experiences that inform our social, emotional, cognitive, physical, spiritual and psychological wellbeing. How can we, human animals, deepen our relationship with non-human animals, including our own companion animals? How can that extend to a more meaningful relationship with our communities? Why is it important for society to respect and understand the impact of these relationships? Conclude this transformative learning experience with a field trip to the Zoology Foundation at Crooked Willow Farms, a private animal sanctuary, to meet other special animals. Come away with fresh ideas on how to rethink, improve and deepen relationships, and a new sense of being part of a larger community for all of your life.

Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom. ~ Alexis de Tocqueville America in large part defines itself in terms of freedom. Yet, as with most routinely asserted concepts, familiarity often deters us from further examination: What is freedom? Are there different forms of freedom? Does freedom have preconditions? How do we know if and when freedom is limited, eroded or altogether lost? Join Associate Professor of Political Science Joshua Wilson as he helps you arrive at your own definition of freedom and challenges you to consider situations where freedom may be threatened or absent. Study fundamental conceptions of freedom as documented by philosophers and theorists, such as de Tocqueville. Consider conditions under which freedom may be lacking. For example, how much freedom exists when living under oppressive regimes? Can people choose how to act and behave? Discuss excerpts from Hannah Arendt’s writings and from various movies which raise questions about individual choices and freedom. Consider concerns related to the gathering of information in relation to both national security and commerce. How might theories of freedom give us ways to think about the post-9/11 and online worlds? Finally, study links among race, class and freedom. Do some members of a democratic society have more freedom than others? How do you identify what those differences are? Come away with a clearer understanding of freedom and the (sometimes surprising) situations that challenge it.

Iraq: Characterized by Conflict

The United States has deployed its forces to Iraq twice in the last 25 years: during the First Gulf War in 1990-91, then again during its invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003-11 and the ensuing civil war. Iraq itself has been engaged in three wars, including two against the U.S. and coalition forces and its war with Iran from 1980-88, which likely caused the deaths of at least three-quarters of a million Iraqis. Why has Iraq been an area of conflict? What has been the impact of these conflicts, and what do they mean for Iraq today as it becomes absorbed in yet another struggle, this time against the Islamic State? Does America have strategic interests in Iraq and the surrounding region? Did those justify the U.S. invasion in 2003? Can there be hope for this divided nation with deep undercurrents of sectarianism and tribalism, i.e., Shia vs. Sunni and Arab vs. Kurd? Finally, what are the prospects for Iraq’s fragile democracy, the foundations of which America helped lay? And how might the relationship between the two countries be characterized today? Join former U.S. Ambassador Gary Grappo, Distinguished Fellow at DU’s Center for Middle East Studies, to examine Iraq’s cycle of warfare and resulting effects.

Current Issues Donald Trump and the Middle East: Toward a New US Foreign Policy

The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States came as a shock to the entire world. While much of the debate during the presidential campaign focused on domestic issues, foreign policy was also the subject of considerable argument and discussion. Immediately after inauguration the new Trump administration will be faced with a series of critical foreign policy challenges in the Middle East. Join Nader Hashemi, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at DU’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies, to examine the issues, including the war against ISIS, the civil war in Syria, Iran’s role in the region, the conflict in Yemen and the chaos in Libya. How might a new U.S. foreign policy under Donald Trump respond? To what extent can we be guided by Trump’s public statements and political positions during the presidential campaign? Who are Trump’s primary foreign policy advisors and how might a Trump foreign policy toward the Middle East be different than Barack Obama’s?

Brexit: The United Kingdom’s Vote to Leave the European Union

In the historic referendum of June 23, 2016, after more than 40 years of European Union membership, a majority of British voters opted to “exit” from the EU, prompting mixed reactions from world leaders and the public. Why was the referendum called? Why did “Leave” win? And what are the consequences not only for Britain but also for the EU and the U.S.? Join Professor of Political Science Lisa Conant to examine why the vote happened, what if any immediate impacts have been felt, and what a future U.K. and EU might look like. The EU project of regional integration has been lauded with bringing peace and prosperity to Europe over the past half century. What motivated the U.K. to abandon the 28-country partnership, and more specifically what were the arguments of the “Leave” and “Remain” camps? After the vote, Britain’s new Prime Minister Theresa May famously said, “Brexit means Brexit.” But what does this mean not only economically and politically, but for affected citizens? Will other EU members be bailing as well? How will this affect relations with the U.S. and other countries? A recent High Court ruling demands that the British government must get parliamentary approval before beginning the EU-exit process. Could “divorce” negotiations be delayed or halted, even though the people have spoken? What’s next for Brexit?

History & Culture Iceland: Land of Fire and Ice

A small island nation of 300,000, Iceland has developed from a relatively obscure and downtrodden outpost in the cold North Atlantic into a modern and much-talked-about travel destination. How has this country of extreme contrasts managed to increase its international exposure while also protecting its vibrant culture and landscape? Guided by Casey Dinger, assistant director for Internationalization at DU, take a virtual tour of the “Land of Fire and Ice.”

First, step back in time to learn about the early settlement of Iceland. With its active volcanos and massive glaciers, Iceland hardly seemed welcoming to the Norwegians and Irish who settled it around 870. Discuss tensions between the pagan faith and Christianity, and examine stories in the famous manuscripts of the Icelandic sagas that illuminate early Iceland’s people and culture. How do they continue to shape the country’s politics, economics and language? Explore the significant role of skaldic poets and a well-known 13th century poem by the doomed Þórir Jökull Steinfinnsson. Consider Iceland’s long tenure as subjects of the Norwegian and Danish crowns, and the subsequent impact of World War II. What role did it play in Icelanders’ daily life and in the nation’s strategic importance until the end of the Cold War? Then, turn to contemporary Iceland. Learn how the capital city of Reykjavík has transformed into a cosmopolitan hotspot. Examine the devastating effects of the 2008 economic crash and the country’s ensuing resilience. How are changing demographics, especially increasing tourism and immigration, challenging a once-isolated and homogenous culture and language? Also discover key cultural institutions and historical events. In the final class, enjoy traditional Scandinavian pastries as you explore Iceland’s geography and how nature defines and pervades the culture, mindsets and language of the people. Think glaciers, volcanoes, ponies, puffins and the Blue Lagoon! Along the way, Casey shares “must-see” spots including attractions along Route 1, which encircles the entire country. Come away with a desire to visit this country of contrasts and a list of what to do when you get there.

History World War I: One Hundred Years Later

2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the United States’ entrance into the First World War, which ran from 1914 to 1918. The war was many things: the “war to end all wars,” the “Great War,” the start of the “short” 20th century, the dawn of the “age of catastrophe.” The war was greeted with widespread enthusiasm, which quickly turned to unimaginable horror and trauma. By the time an armistice was called, European “civilization” was destroyed and new global patterns had emerged. Join Andrea Maestrejuan, assistant professor of History at MSU Denver, as she explores the ways that World War I destroyed the existing political, economic, social and cultural order. From genocides to the rise of Communism and worldwide independence movements, the consequences of the war continue to shape the 21st century. Examine the origins of the war in the 19th century, the transformation of the conduct of war from a war of mobility to a war of stagnation, and from a quick and decisive war to total war in which all segments of societies across the world would be harnessed, resulting in the destruction of an entire generation. Also explore the contentious end of the war and how it shaped modern memory. Come away with a richer understanding of this important moment in our world’s history.

US-Saudi Relations: Historical and Contemporary Issues

The United States has had a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia for decades, but in recent years that relationship has become strained. How did it get so “complicated,” as recently described by President Obama, and what does “complicated” mean for future U.S.-Saudi relations? Join Assistant Professor of History and Judaic Studies Jonathan Sciarcon to explore key issues in U.S.-Saudi relations from 1932 to the present. Begin with the arrival of American oil companies in Saudi Arabia in the 1930s through the establishment of closer relations between the two countries in the 1940s and early 1950s. Then turn to U.S.-Saudi relations during the Cold War, paying special attention to regional and international oil politics, as well as American goals in the Persian Gulf. In the final class, examine contemporary events such as the U.S.-Iranian-Saudi triangle, the U.S.-Israeli-Saudi triangle, the impact of 9/11, and the shifting nature of international oil politics. How was the U.S.Saudi relationship impacted by U.S. relations with other countries in the region, specifically Israel? Discuss what the future relationship of the two countries might be, and come away with a better understanding of historical and contemporary U.S. challenges in the Persian Gulf and in the broader Middle East.

The Supreme Court: The Chasm Between Conservatives and Progressives

Memoir and Other (Usually) True Stories: Under the Influence of Mary Karr

As of Election Day 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court remained characterized by the still empty seat vacated by Justice Scalia’s death nine months earlier. Whether that ninth seat has now been filled or not, it’s hard to remember a time when the Court was as split as it is today. Led by former longtime trial lawyer Boyd Hight, consider the ways this historic split has played out in key areas—election law, campaign spending, abortion and marriage equality, and the Second Amendment—exploring along the way how the Supreme Court works procedurally and discussing the impact of judicial philosophy. In Bush v. Gore, five justices decided the U.S. presidency. In Shelby County v. Holder, the door to limitations on registration and voting was opened for the first time since the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In Citizens United v. FEC, the Court threw out limits on corporate election spending in the name of free speech. “Bedroom docket” arguments include Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, and the same-sex marriage case Obergefell v. Hodges. In Heller v. District of Columbia the Court expanded Second Amendment rights. Chief Justice John Roberts famously characterized the role of judge as an umpire calling balls and strikes. But even umpires have biases. How do ideology and activism influence judicial decision-making? And what does this mean for a bench divided, or for the likely righttilted bench that is to come?

Sure, you could say that Mary Karr has lived a somewhat dramatic life (alcoholism, a father who gambled, a mother who once tried killing her), but a tormented past is not a prerequisite for writing stories about your own life (though it does help!). Because, whether you’re currently convinced or not, we all have stories to tell. Using best-selling author and teacher Karr’s book The Art of Memoir, join Michael Henry, writing instructor and executive director of Lighthouse Writers Workshop, to explore the art and craft of memoir writing. Using Karr’s tale The Liar’s Club as a model, discuss some of the integral facets of making narrative about one’s life, including but not limited to: dramatic structure, character development, constructing the “I” persona, writing in scenes, the slipperiness of memory and the anxieties of writing about real people. Show up with some engaging life experiences (yes, you have them!), and leave with a draft of a true story you’ve been wanting to tell in words. Along the way, draw inspiration from the award-winning Karr at her Denver Post Pen and Podium series lecture. Be prepared to read, write, discuss, build a bit of confidence—and then write some more. All you need is a pen, some paper or a laptop, and a burning desire to write. Course does not include critiques or workshopping.

Literature Impossible Islands: An Introduction to Caribbean Literature

Perhaps the one common denominator in Caribbean literature is place—blue waters, isolated islands and lush landscapes. Saint Lucia poet Derek Walcott once said, “Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves.” Because of its location at the edge of the New World, the Caribbean is a crossroads where language, race, religion and gender mix in unique and vibrant ways. The clash of old and new worlds, indigenous and colonial peoples, and male and female roles can be seen in the literary style of many Caribbean writers: It is, after all, the place where magical realism took hold—a style that relays fantastic events with journalistic exactitude. With Cuban-American writer Alicita Rodríguez as your guide, explore literature from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti and other islands. Read poems, short stories and novels by influential 20thcentury Caribbean writers, including Jamaica Kincaid, Julio Cortázar, Edwidge Danticat and Alejo Carpentier. Read the critically acclaimed bestselling novel How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, then see the Dominican-American author Julia Alvarez in person at her Denver Post Pen & Podium series lecture.

Fiction and “The Good War”: Contemporary Novels about World War II

In his bestselling novel All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr gives us the story of a German youth and a blind French girl whose paths cross in the fury and chaos of World War II. They are common heroes trying to be good to one another in the midst of devastation and loss. Doerr’s novel is one of several that have been published in recent years set during the Second World War, representing a bit of a “mini-surge” in this sub-genre of war literature. Under the guidance of author and journalist Tripp Baltz, study and discuss recent literature about people and events in World War II: Doerr’s book, Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief and David Benioff’s City of Thieves. How do these books try to make sense of the so-called “Good War”? In what ways are they quite different from earlier works that were published closer to the end of the conflict—novels such as Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, Styron’s Sophie’s Choice, and Heller’s Catch-22? What can be learned from fictional accounts of a war that has captivated historians, authors and readers alike? Midway through the course, get insight from Doerr himself when you attend his Denver Post Pen & Podium series lecture at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts. Gain an appreciation for the differing ways in which authors choose to focus on the same subject, and perhaps a better understanding of “The Good War” in the process.

Communications Broadcast News: From Murrow to New Media

“Good night, and good luck.” So ended the nightly newscasts of broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow, who was instrumental in the development of journalism for broadcast media. Seventy years later, broadcast media has become more pervasive (and more confusing) than any other format available. Jacque Montgomery, former television news producer and manager, explores the historic impact of broadcast news, explains today’s media trends, and considers journalism of the future. Begin with the golden age when pioneers like Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow sent pictures of the world into America’s living rooms. From the first presidential debate to Vietnam, journalists informed a generation. When did the focus turn toward more marketing and less substance? Hear about ethical dilemmas that journalists face, including Jacque’s personal experiences from the Columbine tragedy, Jeffrey Dahmer’s prison death and 9/11. To whom are the media responsible and how do their decisions affect you personally? In class three, prepare to discuss the importance of radio with someone you’ve likely heard on local airwaves! Wrap up the in-class exploration with a discussion on the challenges of diversity in the newsroom, as well as a look at the future. How does the immediacy of communication technologies impact the immediacy of news gathering and sharing? Finally, join Jacque for a field trip to a local TV news station for some behind-the-scenes action and information. What might Murrow say about broadcast news today?

Nature & Science Cancer: The Causes. The Impact. The Hope.

The number of cancer survivors living in the U.S. is expected to exceed 20 million in the next 10 years. Each survivor has caregivers, family members and friends who are affected by their diagnosis. Even though the number of cancer survivors is growing rapidly—thanks to better screening, earlier detection and improved treatments—the physical and psychological effects of cancer can be long-lasting. Gather insight on everything from genetics breakthroughs to medical treatments to the psychological impact of the disease as you consider cancer from three different perspectives. Class 1: Nicole Taylor, director of DU’s new Center for Oncology Psychology Excellence (COPE), provides an overview of the physiological processes involved in cancer prevention, causes and treatments. Learn about diagnostic strategies, types of cancers and tumors, staging and treatment options as well as the psychological, social and emotional effects at each stage. Class 2: Phillip Danielson, professor of molecular biology, discusses how your health is tied to your genes and to the viruses picked up over a lifetime. Learn how molecular biology and oncology are working to solve the puzzle of why certain genes can predispose us to a heightened risk of cancer, and how other genes (aka tumor suppressors) act to protect us from developing cancers. Discover how physicians are using this knowledge to evaluate patient risk and personalize cancer care. Class 3: As an oncology-certified nurse practitioner, Janelle Wagner works on the ground. From her unique perspective, learn about new knowledge gained over the past 10 years. Discuss cancer therapies, breakthroughs and future outlooks into cancer care, including clinical trials and their importance in obtaining new information in the quest to cure cancer. Class 4: Nicole Taylor returns to discuss the psychological and emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis, treatment, metastases and recurrence, as well as the transition into survivorship. Also consider how cancer affects caregivers and family members, and get tips on how to support those with cancer. Come away with a deeper understanding of this disease and optimism for our future ability to combat it medically and emotionally.

Nature & Science The End of Wilderness? Conservation in a Human World In an era of expanding human populations, space for wildlife has become ever more scarce. How much of a role should humans play in our protected areas? How have our understandings of wilderness, and how we value it, developed over time? Join geographer Helen Hazen to examine the conservation of wild lands, with a focus on how national parks and other protected areas became such an important land use globally and whether these spaces are truly achieving what they were intended for.

Begin by exploring historic patterns of human activity: How have people traditionally interacted with nature? Is wilderness a meaningful concept? Is it worth protecting? Within these debates, the U.S. began a dramatic experiment in 1872 when it designated our nation’s first national park—Yellowstone. Subsequently, this model of environmental conservation spread across the globe and today 13 percent of terrestrial land is protected. Yet, in ecological terms, is the patchwork nature of conservation areas proving effective at protecting ecosystems? In cultural terms, who are the winners and losers of this conservation boom? Consider landuse case studies from around the globe, including Yosemite’s Hetch Hetchy Dam, the impact of predator loss in Yellowstone, Kenya’s Maasai land rights, Lovejoy’s work in the Amazon, and urban conservation efforts. Discuss suggested innovative approaches to addressing increasing limitations of protected areas, from “rewilding” the land to reintegrating people into vulnerable ecosystems. Come away with insight into the perplexing question: Are we reaching the end of wilderness?

Nature & Science Winged Migration: Colorado Bird Life in Spring

Join Mike Monahan, retired ornithologist in DU’s Department of Biology, for two evening lectures and two Saturday field trips that explore and celebrate Colorado birds in springtime. Prairies, forests and wetlands of our latitude come alive in May with the sights and songs of a rich diversity of songbirds that only weeks earlier were wintering in habitats ranging from the southern United States and Mexico to Central America and northern South America. Who are they? How do they navigate the thousands of kilometers between winter and summer latitudes during their nocturnal migrations? What factors have shaped the diversity of song, courtship, mating habits and ecology that distinguish our native bird species? These and other topics are the focus of evening discussions and field trips.

Regenerative Landscaping: Bringing Nature Back into Your Garden

In gardening, recent buzzwords have included “sustainable gardening” (using techniques that are good for the environment) and “xeriscaping” (limiting the amount of water needed). However, there is a third approach to gardening and landscaping that works to both conserve and create resources (making them both sustainable and water-friendly). Regenerative landscapes are man-made systems that carefully consider the whole ecosystem in order to create highly functional, beautiful spaces. Join Khalana Gocken, regenerative landscape designer, for this hands-on course in which you will not only discover the fundamentals of regenerative design but also put your newfound knowledge into practice. Learn the principles of regenerative landscaping, which requires careful observation of your space, including the soil, water, plants and native animals; it also considers maintenance demands. Discuss Colorado’s climate, resources and native plants, animals and insects to help you work with nature rather than Credit: Eric Bellamy against it. Regenerative landscapes utilize regionally appropriate materials and take advantage of specific environmental conditions, following nature’s cues to ensure a system that performs as beautifully as it looks. Finally, encouraged by Khalana’s expert guidance and ideas, work on your own comprehensive landscape plan for your own space. Visit two spaces that exemplify the principles of regenerative landscaping, then return to the classroom one last time prepared to incorporate new ideas into your design. Come away with a beautiful plan to bring nature back into your garden and the skills to pull it off!

Exploring Our Solar System: Robots in Action

From Age-ing to Sage-ing: Create a New Vision for Growing Older (and Wiser)

Our knowledge of the planets has evolved tremendously over the centuries, advanced continuously by technological innovations. Once, we could use only our eyes and develop myths to explain the observed sky. With the invention of the telescope, we began to follow new objects and to guess about the origin of our solar system. Most recently, robots have enabled us to explore planets and smaller bodies providing immense quantities of data and sparking world-wide curiosity. Join retired Hubble astronomer Paul Hemenway to survey the history of our knowledge of the solar system, with a particular emphasis on modern spacecraft, including lander and rover explorations. See how our knowledge base has turned from purely astronomical research to the geological study of the rocky bodies and the meteorology of the gaseous giants and other bodies with atmospheres. Spearheading this modern process are robots, including orbiters that photograph and map surfaces in incredible detail, impactors that crash into targets, landers that sit and record information, and roving robots that see, smell, taste and feel their environment as they roam the surfaces of new places. Particular attention will be paid to the Mars rovers, the Cassini mission to Saturn, the New Horizons mission to Pluto, and the Juno mission to Jupiter. Come away with a better appreciation of our robotic planetary exploration efforts and the technical teams that have taken us there.

As we grow older, we’re delighted with the additional time and opportunities we have to explore life. Yet, we may also feel a sense of loss due to lack of direction in our lives and of contribution to our society. We often worry about leaving a legacy to our children, about the imprint we’re leaving in the world, and about simply feeling happy and confident at having lived full and complete lives. After 30 years in corporate America, Barbe Ratcliffe entered retirement wondering, “What next?” She eventually discovered her next passion and now, in her new position as executive director of OLLI at DU, Barbe assists others in uncovering their own wisdom and potential. Join Barbe to consider and discuss Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalmoni’s book From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Revolutionary Approach to Growing Older. What is meant by “age-ing” into our wisdom? What are some of life’s possibilities that we might not yet have considered? With the camaraderie and support of fellow “agers”—each with his or her own wealth of experience and potential—gather for insightful conversations to explore the promising potential within the transition from age-ing to sage-ing. Whether you’d like more meaning in your life, wish to discover more about yourself, or have ever wondered how to share your wisdom and knowledge, come away with new excitement for what lies ahead.

Personal Development You First: Learn to Lead Yourself

Visit any bookstore and you can find entire sections of books that claim to teach you how to lead others. Yet, how often have you been under the “leadership” of someone who didn’t know how to lead a team and whose own life was also in disarray? The truth is, no one can adequately lead others until they can lead their own lives effectively. Join popular Enrichment Program instructor Bob Melvin as he turns the leadership lens inside and helps you to identify areas in your life that require more leadership, then shares practical strategies to improve them. Bob uses dialogue and exercises to teach the concepts of alignment (Is your behavior aligned with your goals?); systems theory (Is your life already providing cues that you lack personal leadership?); personal mastery (Do you have the ability to continuously assess your goals and whether your actions will achieve them?); unconditional responsibility (Do you take responsibility for your inability to achieve goals, no matter what else is going on around you?); and mental models (What is your understanding of how the world works and is it holding you back?). Guest speakers provide real-life examples of how they improved their own leadership and changed their lives.

Drawing for People Who Think They Can’t Draw: Learning to See Like an Artist

As young children we were encouraged to stay within the lines in our coloring books and beginning drawings. But is that what really makes a drawing “good?” How many frustrating experiences did it take to convince you that you can’t draw? Alfredo A. Ortiz, adjunct instructor of Drawing at DU’s School of Art and Art History, has been sharing his passion of art through teaching for over 12 years. He believes that anyone can learn to draw well with the correct instruction and some practice. Before you can draw like an artist, though, you’ll need to know how to “see” like an artist. Learn to perceive things in a completely new way and then record your impressions. With exercises and topics that include understanding line, value and negative space, composing still life and onepoint perspective, you’ll gain important tools to help you create more sophisticated works of art. Weather permitting, you’ll even enjoy a bit of drawing en plein air. This course is for beginners or those looking to sharpen their drawing skills. Registration includes supplies.

The workshop is designed around The Hudson Institute’s core model known as the Cycle of Renewal™, a powerful learning tool for individuals navigating transition and change. Begin with an exploration of the third age as a significant life transition and opportunity for exciting growth, then learn a model for navigating change and transition for lifelong renewal and begin to chart a course ahead. By the end of the workshop, you will have learned 10 important considerations for a successful third age, acquired a powerful tool for navigating transitions that can be used again and again, learned valuable life skills for sustaining purpose and passion, and developed a plan for moving forward in the months ahead.

Revitalizing Career

Looking to sustain and invigorate your current career or considering a career change? As professionals remain in their careers, they may lose a degree of passion for their work or find that the demands on their time and energy are too much. Some have a yearning to do something different and may already know what that is but need help taking those first steps. Others are unclear as to what they want to do next and need help seeing possibilities. This course allows you to explore whether and how to stay in your current career or transition to a new one. Among other important discoveries, you will identify how your talents, skills and experience can be parlayed into new opportunities; learn about new ways of working, encore careers and portfolio careers; and begin exploring and experimenting by trying out new possibilities. Leave with a framework, process and resources to help you proactively manage your career and work life, as well as strategies for actively managing career satisfaction and renewal. Prerequisite: Planning for Change in the Third Age workshop.

Testimonial The Focus Forward program gave me some much needed focus on the hard work of figuring out what I want from the third phase of my life. This introspective work was expertly guided by Lori with the interactive help of the rest of the students in the class. We all came from different walks of life, but there were a surprising (in retrospect, not surprising) number of common elements that we shared ... which helped achieve clarity on issues and questions that needed some serious internal work. In the end, the classes helped me immensely in realizing that truly living is about working towards something you are really passionate about and no longer accepting the many compromises that “life” has often thrown in our paths. I’m happier than I’ve been in a very long time and I’m excited to be pursuing my “dream job” of being a semi-professional photographer. That happiness spills over into family relationships and friendships in a very positive way and can be very infectious!! To be clear, the work and the questions you will ask yourself are not easy ones, but the rewards of moving forward towards the answers are immense. ... this was the best money/time I’ve spent on a set of classes in quite some time!! ~ Greg McCarter

Healthy Aging: Physical, Mental, Social

This short course is available to all students who have taken Planning for Change in the Third Age. In that workshop students talked about the 10 Important Considerations in the Third Age. One of those considerations was Healthy Aging, which combines physical, mental and social health. In this discussion-based two-session course, take a deeper dive into these three aspects of healthy aging. Look at physical, mental and social health and how they combine to create a foundation for healthy aging in the third age. While many people, especially “third-agers,” are aware of the importance of physical fitness, we may be less aware of the importance of mental health and the health of our brains as we age. Explore what neuroscience can tell us about our aging brains and learn ways to build our social muscle as the third aspect of healthy aging.

Testimonials The Focus Forward program for people in the Encore phase of life was really informative, helpful and fun. And, in a lot of ways surprising, at least to me, since I’d never heard of the Encore movement before then. I particularly liked the encouragement to experiment, and being in class with so many other people who are in the same stage of life as I am. Can’t help but wish I’d taken the program five years ago. ~ Lise Nelson Program content and class participants were equally fascinating. Charting your life chapters was really illuminating. And Lori was a superb facilitator and teacher. ~ Kent Rice
