Osher Courses Art & Art History Renaissance Women & the Domestic Setting During the 15th and 16th centuries in Italy, secular women were seldom acknowledged in art. Women were only portrayed and celebrated when they were married, honored when their children were born and memorialized when they died. We’ll explore how their role in the family and in society were depicted. Recent historical scholarship on women has revealed their marginalized role in the family hierarchy and social order during the Renaissance.

Millennials, roughly those 18-33 years old, have become a big topic for discussion for everyone from bloggers and magazine editors to CEO’s and the entertainment industry. Millennials have exited high schools and colleges into the worst job market in recent history and a large number delay traditional adult rites of passage—moving out and marriage. They are the first post-Cold War generation and have been raised with technology many of us were only exposed to in science fiction during our formative years. They are a force to be reckoned with in all facets of American culture and made the cover of Time last year—The Me. Me. Me. Generation... and why they may save us all. Before examining the Millennials, we will look at the generations that preceded them.

Zionism, Israel and the Possibility for Peace: An Anti-Zionist Perspective Max Blumenthal is an American Jew who considers himself outside the Zionist tradition and wrote Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel. Blumenthal spent four years in Israel and the West Bank researching this book. He documents a society hurtling headfirst toward ultra-nationalism, relinquishing any claims to democracy it may have had as it seeks to pummel a subject population into submission. Students will be encouraged to read Goliath which was published in October 2013. Course: 19237 $20 For: 1 session SUA: Jun 11 Th 1:00pm-3:00pm CE South Building Ramon Flores, MA in Cultural Pluralism The CIA Torture Program as Seen in the Broad Historical and Legal Context Napoleon did not allow his military intelligence officers to use torture simply because it caused too many false leads. The commitment of US military intelligence professionals to using “empathetic” techniques is rooted in the techniques’ success of quickly turning fanatical Japanese soldiers into willing sources in the Marianas Campaign in 1944. The current debate of the American use of torture in recent years will be viewed in a broad historical context. Why did the Bush Administration create this program? Is it necessary to prosecute the torturers and those who claimed it was legal? What are the nation’s responsibilities under the Geneva Conventions and United Nations Convention Against Torture of which the US is a signatory? How should we address those American officials, soldiers and agents who refused to torture?

Economics & Finance Theory and Practice of Modern Money The budget deficit will burden our children and grandchildren. Pundits and politicians say this all the time, but is it really true? Should you worry about Social Security running out of money, or should you wor- Creigh Gordon ry about something else instead? And what caused the economy to unexpectedly shrink in 2008? Understanding money—what it is, where it comes from, and how it functions—can provide surprising clarity on these and similar issues. No longer based on gold, our monetary system is in fact a social construct, based on trust and backed by social and legal institutions, that facilitates private transactions and satisfies the need for private savings. It also moves goods and services from the private sector to the public sector. This class examines the functional operations of modern currency in the US and summarizes consequences for inflation, interest rates, unemployment and general economic activity.

This significant asset offers you: a lifetime annuity, cost-of-living adjustments and right of survivorship. We’ll explore answers to the following questions: Will social security be there for me? How much can I expect to receive? When should I apply for Social Security benefits? How can I maximize my benefits? Will Social Security be enough to live on? Social Security is too important for guesswork. Treat this resource as a significant asset and maximize it to the greatest extent possible. The application of knowledge is power!

History Fairies in the Garden: A Spirited Tour through Victorian Mysticism Spiritualism was an established movement before the Civil War but as the death toll mounted, séances became popular with all social classes. Desperate families seeking communication with missing soldiers turned to mediums for reassurance. Mary Todd Lincoln held séances in the White House trying to reach her two deceased sons. Across the Atlantic, Queen Victoria became a spiritualist after the death of her husband. Although the Victorian era is associated with scientific and technological progress, many educated Victorians were drawn to mesmerism, clairvoyance, electro-biology and phrenology. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was no exception. Convinced that two young English girls had photographed fairies in their garden, he authenticated their doctored photos leading to a spiritualist hoax that was not debunked until the late 1970s. Fascinated by the human appetite for flimflam? Join us for a “spirited” tour through Victorian scams.

44% of those from ages 16 to 24 failed to mention him as a prominent 20th century prime minister. Through the life of Winston Churchill, the class will examine some of the major events of the 20th century, and if history should still be kind to him fifty-one years after his death. Course: 19417 $20 For: 1 session SUA: Jun 1 M 10:00am-12:00pm Del Webb Alegria—Active Adult Community Howard Romanek, History/International Studies Instructor Illinois State University (Ret.) Richard III: The Myth and the Monarch Richard III (1452-85) was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenets. His defeat at Bosworth marks the end of the medieval period in England. He was the last English monarch to die in battle. Over the centuries the stories of this young monarch grew to monstrous proportions; he was labelled a villain, a traitor, a murderer and a monster. These claims were fueled by misinformation regarding his twisted body, his hunched back and his withered arm. And yet, slowly but surely, a growing body of scholars, authors, and passionate members of the public, known as Ricardians, worked to clear the name of their beloved monarch from behind the veil of Tudor propaganda and Shakespearean fiction. An excavation beneath a car park in Leicester in 2012, led not only to the discovery of the body of the fallen king, but to the rewriting of history. As we explore the myth and the monarch, we will discover that while he may not have been a saint, he was an enlightened and beloved ruler who has been badly maligned across the ages.

Joan of Arc: Saint, Sinner or Epileptic? Peasant, shepherdess, mystic, saint, warrior, witch, epileptic…all these and more are terms which have been used in attempts to describe or explain one of the most remarkable young women in the history of western civilization. With the help of video clips and written sources which include Joan’s recorded words, we will examine the story of a courageous French teenager who singlehandedly turned the tide of European history during the course of the Hundred Years’ War. The achievements of this “Maid of Orléans” continue to be celebrated annually by people of France, and she has won (and continues to win) the admiration of many across the centuries, including Englishmen such as Winston Churchill.

And paint we do! Using everything from minerals to beeswax, roses, insects and even lethal poisons. Some adornments are temporary while others go more than skin deep, but all are used to indicate status, wealth, tribal connections and sexual preferences. Six thousand years ago, pig fat was the medium of choice. Today, the glycerin in your lipstick is still pig fat colored with crushed beetles. The only difference is the designer label.

The Lusignans of Poitou: from France to the Holy Land and Runnymede Henry II of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart and “bad” King John are familiar figures to historians and fans of historical fiction, but their vassals, the Lords of Lusignan, are often forgotten. Yet it was Hana Samek the Lusignans, allegedly descended from the Norton half-serpent Mélusine, who created a turbulent and pivotal history in 12th and 13th century France, England and the Holy Land. Not only did they challenge royal authority, they managed to acquire crowns of their own through marriages to Sybilla and Isabella, the heiress-queens of Jerusalem. Handsome, violent, treacherous, yet brave fighters and pious crusaders—and unfashionably faithful to their wives—the Lusignans invite us into the triumphs and tragedies of medieval Europe and the beleaguered Byzantine empire.

The Philippine-American War 1898-1902 Little known to most Americans, “America’s Forgotten War,” was a spin-off of the Spanish American War. This was the first and only American attempt to colonize a faraway land for the betterment of American business interests. We’ll review the early history of the Philippine Islands, along with the reasons which would eventually lead to a conflict between the US military and the native led Filipino rebellion. This talk is being presented by a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, who served in the Republic of the Philippines from 1968-1970, and who will present materials that uniquely represent both sides of this historical military conflict.

Who Was the Roman Emperor Hadrian? Hadrian was Roman Emperor from 117 to 138. He re-built the Pantheon and constructed the Temple of Venus and Roma. He is also known for building Hadrian’s Wall, which marked the northern limit of Roman Britain. Hadrian was regarded by some as a humanist and was philhellene in most of his tastes. Late in his reign he suppressed the Bar Kokhba revolt in Judaea, renaming the province Syria Palaestina. He is regarded as the third of the Five Good Emperors. Mr. Cervantes will show a short film to trace the history of Emperor Hadrian and his legacy in Roman history. Course: 19442 $20 For: 1 session SUA: Jun 8 M 3:30pm-5:30pm CE South Building Angelo R. Cervantes, Director, Iberian Peninsula DNA Institute Roanoke: The Lost Colony The lost colonists of Roanoke were left on Roanoke Island in present day North Carolina in 1587 to establish the first British colony in America. A vessel was sent back to England with Governor John White to obtain supplies and was subsequently unable to return until 1590. Upon the return of the supply ship, the colony was gone, not destroyed, but removed. The only clue was the name Croatan carved into a tree. John White, whose daughter, sonin-law and grandchild were among the colonists, began a lifelong quest to find them. Some historians say they perished, but clues and rumors persisted for decades that they were captured by or assimilated into the local native population. We’ll investigate America’s oldest missing persons case, the lost colony of Roanoke Island. Course: 19456 $20 For: 1 session SUA: Jun 12 F 3:30pm-5:30pm CE South Building Angelo R.

Who Was Leonardo da Vinci? Renowned as the “Mind of the Renaissance,” the genius of Leonardo da Vinci reaches beyond the centuries. Born into obscurity in a tiny Italian village in 1452, young da Vinci seemed destined for a life of peasantry. But early mastery of art and a personal code of success catapulted him to the highest levels of Italian society and ultimately made him one of the most important figures of the Renaissance. Painter, sculptor, engineer and scientist: da Vinci was both master and pioneer. Creator of some of the world’s great artistic masterpieces, he was also a visionary whose fantastic inventions would become reality only hundreds of years after his death. Mr. Cervantes will show a documentary that will trace the history of Leonardo da Vinci and his legacy in history. We’ll also discuss the possible DNA results of this Renaissance man.

It is inevitable in a world largely shaped by the Reformation that many people focus on the corruption that plagued the Catholic Church in the late middle ages. However, long before the papacy faced off with Martin Luther, the Catholic Church played a vital role in European society. In the wake of the fall of the Roman Empire and in the centuries before nation states coalesced, the Catholic Church was the sole entity that held European society together.

“Gone With The Wind” and Antebellum Mythology 2014 was the 75th anniversary of the movie Gone with the Wind based upon Margaret Mitchell’s Pulitzer-prize winning novel of the same name. The success of her only novel would haunt the author for the rest of her life, driving her into depression and Roberta Boggess making her a recluse. The film, directed by David O. Selznick, was immensely popular, and adjusted for inflation, it is still the most successful film in box-office history. Yet both the book and the movie have a darker side, perpetuating a romantic view of the antebellum South in which all slave owners were kind and all slaves were happy.

“East is East and West is West and Never the Twain Shall Meet” Rudyard Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and its youngest recipient to date. Born in India in 1865, he considered himself an “Anglo-Indian,” more comfortable with the dialects of India than with the English of his parents. At the age of five, he was sent to live in England under cruel and neglectful conditions, conditions that he believed shaped his writing. Today, he is remembered for children’s stories, The Jungle Book and Kim, yet George Orwell stated Kipling was “a prophet of British imperialism”—a view that would cost Kipling his son’s life. Was Kipling an imperialist? A product of his time?

Hailed equally as the muse of poets, painters and revolutionaries, and as “the green fairy” which could lead men down the path to murder, it was no drink for an American. It was blamed for causing hallucinations, seizures and permanent brain damage.

Philosophy & Religion The Assisi of Giotto, Saints Francis and Clare Born in 1182, Francis rejected family wealth for complete poverty. In the Franciscan Order he founded, Francis welcomed all men as brothers, whether rich or poor, sinners or non-Christians. His friend Clare founded the equivalent order for women. After the Maya Sutton deaths of Saints Francis and Clare, the Italian hill town of Assisi became a pilgrimage destination. To honor St. Francis, the Basilica there is famous for frescoes by Cimabue, who probably trained Giotto, the first great artist of the Italian Proto-Renaissance.

Food and the Bible Whether “manna from Heaven,” Jesus’ turning water into wine, or da Vinci’s The Last Supper, food is an intrinsic part of Biblical scenes. Yet what were the foods, customs, and etiquette behind those stories? What was manna? What type of wine would have been common in Canaan? Did diners recline at meals as Greeks did and were women allowed to join those dinners? Why was shellfish forbidden to Jews? In an age when the very act of eating was imbued with sanctity, how was food grown, stored, traded and prepared? Did food determine wealth, status and even piety?

John Locke and the Doctrine of Separation of Church and State In a spectacular burst of genius, the English philosopher and political theorist John Locke published A Letter Concerning Toleration, Two Treatises of Government and An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Jerry Franks two years following England’s Glorious Revolution of 1688.

Responsible for influencing human history perhaps more than any other volume, it eventually entered the popular vernacular resulting in popular quotes and misquotes, strange ideas and misconceptions and—of course—never-ending disputes.

Shamanism: From Witch Doctors through the New Millennium Shamanism is the oldest form of healing, dating back 30,000 years when medicine men mediated between the inner life of tribal members and its external affairs. The shaman mastered the ecstatic power of Carol March dreams, visions and trances. Shamanism was practiced all over the Earth, and the legacy lives on today, not only in indigenous cultures but in eastern practices of yoga. Western schools of psychology have investigated altered states of consciousness, visualization, dream imagery, breathing techniques and sound to incorporate spiritual insight into therapeutic processes. The schools based on the depth psychology of Freud and Jung and the newer “experiential therapies” employ techniques of consciousness transformation with ancient roots. We will explore how the new therapies use shamanic methods such as the journey of awakening, healing of psychic fragmentation, and the reconciliation of dualities such as good/evil, male/female, and human/animal.

Travel & Culture Mongolia: Mythic Times, Rough Times, Modern Times Ursa Major, the Bear Goddess or Big Dipper, guided Mongolians centuries ago, in mythic times. Dr. Sutton taught English in Mongolia in 1993, soon after Soviet occupation ended and before Mongolia became a tour destination to Genghis Khan’s land. In those rough times, no one remembered what food could survive in the taiga. Only remote shamans retained practices of animism. Some elderly men revived Tibetan Buddhism after generations of forbidden religion. Now in modern times, Western technology has arrived in the capital, and Western designer stores attract a few of the newly rich, but centuries-old customs prevail over vast areas.
