9:30 a.m.–4:10 p.m.

Alumni College $20 per session SESSION A • 9:30–10:20 A.M. THE MODERNITY OF WITCH-HUNTING $20 A popular misconception is that trials for witchcraft were predominantly a medieval affair. While it is true that the intellectual foundations for witch-hunting were laid in the Middle Ages, trials themselves took place predominantly in the 16th and 17th centuries—precisely during the times most closely associated with the beginnings of the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment. Close attention to political and judicial changes during those centuries help explain why. Ed Kern, associate professor of history, Lawrence University DEEP LISTENING AS CREATIVE ACT $20 Last year, Lawrence was named as the first Deep Listening Affiliate Institution in the world by the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This is a pretty big deal. Come experience first-hand why Deep Listening has become such an integral part of our university culture. All you need to bring is a willingness to play, a willingness to collaborate and a willingness to be open to the possibilities of transformational magic through the act of music making. Brian G. Pertl ’86, dean of the Conservatory of Music, Lawrence University

FROM SHOCK TO AWE: A FILM SCREENING AND DISCUSSION $20 THIS CLASS RUNS FROM 9:30–11:30 A.M. There is a severe and growing mental health crisis in the United States today with opioid addiction, suicidality and depression at record levels. Nowhere is this more apparent than with returning combat veterans diagnosed with PTSD. At the same time, there is a re-emergence of research using psychedelic assisted psychotherapy for healing not only PTSD but also depression, anxiety, autism, alcoholism, and addiction. From Shock to Awe is a feature-length documentary that follows the journeys of U.S. combat veterans abandoning pharmaceutical drugs to seek relief from PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with the mind-expanding assistance of ayahuasca (an Amazonian brew used for centuries to heal psychic and physical disorders) and MDMA. Filmed over three years, it provides an intimate look at how these substances can be used successfully to heal our wounded soldiers—and by extension, their families. The human stories told raise fundamental questions about war, the pharmaceutical industry and the U.S. legal system. Janine Sagert ’70 Ph.D., co-creator and producer of From Shock to Awe 50-YEAR CONNECTION PRESENTS: CELEBRATING THE SCIENCES AT LAWRENCE $20 THIS CLASS RUNS FROM 9:30–11:30 A.M. The 50-Year Connection provides an opportunity to experience social and intellectual stimulation based on the common ground of a Lawrence/MilwaukeeDowner education. Designed to compliment the Alumni College sessions, the 50-Year Connection leverages learning to foster connection between alumni and with Lawrence today. Participants are also encouraged to register for the Lunch and Q&A with President Burstein following this session.

Celebrating the Sciences at Lawrence The National Science Foundation ranking of universities that produce science Ph.D. graduates recently placed Lawrence at 17th—just below Harvard and just above Princeton and Vassar! This year’s program will engage participants with faculty, staff and students in an interactive session addressing some of the programs and opportunities celebrated by this ranking. From summer research projects that celebrate the dynamic faculty/student partnerships found only at Lawrence to innovative pedagogies that aim to make the sciences more accessible, the academic rigor and enthusiasm generated by the sciences at Lawrence is second to none. Dr. Stefan Debbert, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Lawrence University Dr. Andrew Knudsen, Professor of Geosciences, Lawrence University


SESSION B • 10:40–11:30 A.M. AMERICA IN THE MIDDLE EAST: SHOULD WE STAY, SHOULD WE GO, AND WHY OR WHY NOT $20 From 19th-century missionaries in the Levant to 1930s oilmen in Saudi Arabia to the present day deployment of U.S. special forces in the fight against ISIS, American involvement in the Middle East has been driven by religious faith, commercial opportunities and the use of military power in support of foreign policy goals. But what are the current interests of the U.S. in the region, and—given multiple, pressing, domestic and other foreign policy concerns—why should this region still matter? This session will explore the historical importance of the Middle East in U.S. national security affairs and will consider whether and how a U.S. commitment to the region should be sustained. Kurt Amend ’80, former lawyer and diplomat, currently vice president with Raytheon Company ARTS, ACTIVISM AND TACO SHELLS $20 In this dynamic course, Fulbright scholar and self-proclaimed Blacktivist Dr. Derrell Acon presents on his recent scholarship around arts engagement, equity and the power of performative education. Drawing from literature, advocacy, story and song to engage and energize the room, he creates a space in which we are able to work towards understanding, compassion and justice—using artistic performance as catalyst. What is the role of the performing artist in society? In which ways do social agents enact effective activism? What the heck do tacos have to do with any of this? Come and engage each of these crucial inquiries in what is sure to be both thoughtprovoking and enriching for all in attendance. Derrell Acon ’10, performer, activist and director of engagement and equity at Long Beach Opera

SESSION C • 1–1:50 P.M. UNDERSTANDING U.S. IMMIGRATION AND ASYLUM LAW AND POLICY IN THE TRUMP ERA $20 It’s hot, it’s controversial, it’s emotional! But, how many Americans really know what our laws and policies are supposed to be and how this administration has changed them? Learn about the reality and the myths. Become an informed participant in the great debate shaping our nation’s and the world’s future. Paul Schmidt ’70, UW Law ’73, retired U.S. Immigration Judge, government senior executive, partner in two major American law firms, and currently adjunct professor at Georgetown Law RARE BOOKS, RARE OPPORTUNITIES: READING IN THE RICHMOND COLLECTION $20 The Earl and Aubrey Richmond Book Collection contains over 200 rare books from medieval manuscripts to first editions of 17th- to 19th-Century classics. The collection offers Lawrence students an invaluable opportunity to experience great literature and book history firsthand. In this session, we will learn a little bit about the history of the collection and about how it is being used in Lawrence classrooms, and also explore these books together in a series of interactive stations. If you’ve ever wanted to see a first edition of Paradise Lost, Robinson Crusoe, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Oliver Twist, Moby Dick, or Huckleberry Finn, this is your chance. Celia Barnes and Garth Bond, associate professors of English, Lawrence University, Susan Nelson Goldsmith ’65 and Eric Nelson, lenders of the collection BIODIVERSITY AND EXTINCTION: PATTERNS OF THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE $20 Earth’s biodiversity has always been dynamic. Beginning as a lifeless planet, the biodiversity on earth has increased over time but the process has been marked with dramatic episodes of rapid biodiversity expansion and massive extinction. Biologists who study past and present patterns of biodiversity believe we are now in the early stages of the next great era of extinction driven by human-induced changes to the planet. In this lecture, we will look at past and present patterns of biodiversity and the principle drivers behind the patterns. We will then focus on future biodiversity predictions and discuss if we are, as many experts claim, witnessing the beginning of the next massive extinction event on earth. Amy Downing ’95, professor of zoology, Ohio Wesleyan University

SESSION D • 2:10–3 P.M. THE BEATLES…FOUR LADS WHO SHOOK THE WORLD $20 Do You Want to Know a Secret? The Beatles are still Here, There and Everywhere…even after breaking up in 1970! The Beatles ‘1’ album, released in 2000, is the biggest selling album of any artist in the first decade of the 21st century and The Beatles are the only artists to sell more than a million units every year since 1990! That’s really Something! Current students at Lawrence have the opportunity to study the exciting ’60s through the sounds of The Beatles, and you can relive it too! The Word is love and All You Need Is Love to attend this exciting presentation by a true Beatleholic. It Won’t Be Long before Reunion Weekend is here; June is not such a Long, Long, Long way off. Take this Magical Mystery Tour of The Long and Winding Road paved by The Beatles. Turn off your mind … relax … and float downstream ... it’s just A Day in the Life. Help is on the way! The End. Carl Rath ’75, Conservatory of Music instructor, Lawrence University LONDON—FROM THE MAYFLOWER TO BREXIT $20 In this session, we will take a whirlwind tour of entrepreneurship in London, from the launching of the Mayflower in June 1620 to its “BREXIT” from the European Union in 2020. Drawing on the activities of D-term students in London last December, the talk will show how entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship have shaped London over the past 400 years. We will also examine the likely impact of BREXIT on London and Britain in the future. Claudena Skran is the Edwin and Ruth West Professor of Economics and Social Science and professor of government at Lawrence. She first visited London in 1976, just after the UK joined the European Economic Community and then continued her explorations while a doctoral student at Oxford University in the 1980s. After directing the London Centre in 2003, Skran has frequently returned, especially to the south London community of Rotherhithe, where the Mayflower originally departed. Skran teaches in the government department and is the current chair of the innovation and entrepreneurship program at Lawrence. Dena Skran, Edwin and Ruth West Professor of Economics and Social Science and professor of government, Lawrence University

VINTAGE: SECRETS OF THE GRAPE* $20 Wine encompasses everything . . . science, technology, art, history, religion, economics, psychology, even politics. This class considers this special treasure in a freewheeling lecture that includes the appropriate gustatory dimension. Nick Maravolo, retired professor of biology, Lawrence University LOCAL CRAFT BEER – IT’S A GAS, GAS, GAS!* $20 THIS CLASS RUNS FROM 2:10–4:10 P.M. Should we organize a Wisconsin or German “kegger” for your return to Lawrence? How about a proper pint of dry Irish stout, or an authentic cask ale from the cellar to remind you of your term at the London Centre? Whether you prefer carbon dioxide, nitrogen, natural carbonation or a combination, your preferences will be satisfied by a short trip down College Avenue with your fellow Lawrence alumni! We will visit two local breweries that provide American styles, authentic German lagers and traditional British and Irish ales that employ each of these styles (and gases). Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas, gas, gas! Kurt Krebsbach ’85, professor of computer science, Lawrence University

* Limited space available for these classes. Please indicate a second choice if interested.

SESSION E • 3:20–4:10 P.M. TRUMP BEFORE TRUMP: HOW SPIRO AGNEW TURNED UPPER-CLASS REPUBLICANS INTO WORKING-CLASS POPULISTS—AND ELECTION WINNERS $20 Before there was Donald Trump there was Spiro Agnew, scourge of elites, intellectuals, the media, and the coastal establishments as Richard Nixon’s vice president between 1969 and 1973. Jerald Podair, co-author of the recently published Republican Populist: Spiro Agnew and the Origins of Donald Trump’s America, will explain how Agnew transformed the GOP from the party of “the rich” to that of the “silent majority” by articulating the cultural and racial resentments of white middle and working-class Americans. Anyone who wishes to understand Donald Trump today must first understand Spiro Agnew – a populist vice president in the 20th century who helped create a populist president in the 21st. Jerald Podair, Robert S. French Professor of American Studies and professor of history THE NEURODEVELOPMENTAL SCIENCE OF BEING HUMAN: RESILIENCE, RISK, AND THE SOCIAL BRAIN $20 As apes (albeit great ones), we humans distinguish ourselves with an especially social brain that develops in the context of relationships. This presentation will summarize ongoing research that explores not only the developmental and long-term health risks associated with early adversity, but also the many ways in which secure attachment relationships lead to optimal neurodevelopment and provide a buffer against later life stress. We have long understood that adverse care and chronic stress have a negative impact on early childhood development. But understanding the specific ways in which the early caregiving environment affects the development of brain architecture and function, for better and for worse, is the more recent work of developmental neuroscience. This is a story of evolutionary biology and adaption, critical periods and neuroplasticity, risk and resilience. And, ultimately, the crucial role of a parent’s (and grandparent’s) love and caring in raising healthy, happy babies and children. Mike Troy ’80, Behavioral Health Services Medical Director and Neuroscience Institute Associate Medical Director at Children’s Hospital Minnesota

With classic covers, quirky originals, and synchronized dance moves (for band and audience alike), their live shows are a delight for crowds of all ages. Wriston Amphitheatre 19
