Membership and Registration

An active OLLI membership is required to register for courses.

Summer 2020 Pilot Digital Membership - $60.00 (Covers Summer 2020 term only)

Session 1: May 18 – June 22, 2020 (No classes on Monday, May 25, 2020)

MONDAY

10-11:15 a.m.

The French Revolution and the Age of Napoleon, 1789-1815 Jared Day

This set of lectures examines one of the most transformational eras in French and European history, a time which saw one of the most profound socio-political changes in modern history combined with an imperial dictatorship that would export those changes to the rest of Europe. Neither Europe nor the world would ever be the same.

Highlights of Pittsburgh Jewish History Barbara Burstin

This course will look at highlights of the Pittsburgh Jewish experi-ence, in the context of development of the city of Pittsburgh, the American Jewish community and ongoing events in Europe. It’s a tall order, but a chal-lenging one that we will tackle. We will look at the contribution that Jewish immigrants and their descendants made to this city and the challenges that they faced in the past and continue to face to some extent in more recent times.

Dates: May 18, June 1, 8, 15

The Year of the Garden Doug Oster

Emmy award winning garden per-sonality Doug Oster will demonstrate how to grow your own food, flowers, shrubs, trees

and more in this comprehensive, interactive five-week web series. From planting your favorites to exploring new cultivars and beyond, Oster will lead students on a step by step journey to create their own gardening oasis. If you've always wanted to plant something or dreamed of improv-ing you're existing garden, Oster is here to help.

Dates: May 18, June 1, 8, 15, 22

10:30 a.m.-noon

Advanced Beginner Spanish (10 weeks) Nancy Farber

Members may only register for one level of Spanish per term. This 10-week course is for students who have advanced beyond a beginning knowledge of Spanish and wish to refine further speaking, listening, and reading comprehension skills. Classroom practice focuses on the use of complex grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.

Dates: May 18, June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, July 6, 13, 20, 27

TUESDAY

10-11:15 a.m.

Vision, Truth, and Humanity in the Age of Doubt Jeff Aziz

A devil’s brew of confounding social forces converge toward the end of the 16th century: The

Reformation in religion, the grow-ing influence of the printing press, emergent natural science, com-merce with new worlds, the growth of cities and the growing promi-nence of their citizens. This course will examine how a revolu-tion in cultural attitudes toward vision reshapes the social world, our sense of our own humanity, and our relationship to authority. In a rough balance of between the fields of art, literature, and science, works discussed will include Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights,” Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Rembrandt’s “Portrait of Jan Six,” Galileo’s “Siderius Nuncius,” and Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels.” Importantly, the course will explore the role of the social networks that connected, sup-ported, and encouraged figures of historical prominence.

Dates: May 19, 26, June 2, 9, 16

10-11:30 a.m.

Some Are More Equal Than Others: The Writings of George Orwell Abby Mendelson

Everyone remembers George Orwell, the English writer who in “Nineteen Eighty-Four” created both a paralytically frightening ver-sion of a totalitarian world as well as a completely new vocabulary to describe it. But who was he really? What transformed the gentle, privileged Eric Arthur Blair into hard-hitting, embedded reporter George Orwell who wrote extraordinary books about dread-ful living conditions in national capitals, impoverished English

coal miners, and the Spanish Civil War? We will look at seven key texts both to unwrap the enigma that was Orwell—and to unveil his riveting vision of a world gone mad.

Dates: May 19, 26 June 2, 9, 16

Watercolor Workshop (10 weeks) Melissa Tai

Enjoy the beauty, quirks and happy surprises watercolor paint-ing can bring! In this course, a new online lesson and demonstra-tion, followed by discussion, will be presented each week. Topics to be covered will include: washes, brush work, color, per-spective, composition and much more. Participants will be encour-aged to submit photos of their own watercolor works for group discus-sion, questions, and suggestions. Individual feedback from the instructor will be provided to par-ticipants. Space Limited

Dates: May 19, 26, June 2, 9, 16, 30 July 7, 14, 21, 28

1-2:30 p.m.

Democratic Politics in Latin America Javier Vazquez D’Elia

The last three decades constitute Latin America’s both temporally and spatially most extended dem-ocratic experience so far. That continuity notwithstanding, the period has also witnessed important oscillations of economic performance and of policies with direct impact on levels of welfare and inequality, as well as varia-tions in levels of political

turbulence and institutional conti-nuity. This course combines historical narratives and compara-tive analysis of the different countries aiming to understand the main forces underlying those fluc-tuations.

Dates: May 19, 26, June 2,9, 16

TED Talks Kathy Callahan

TED (technology, entertainment, and design), a nonprofit organiza-tion that promotes “ideas worth spreading,” features talks by some of the world’s most engaging speakers on a wide variety of sub-jects. The TED website features more than 2,300 talks on video. In this class, we will discuss, debate, and reflect on a few of these talks each week. Some talks are infor-mational, some are just plain fun. Group members are encouraged to select talks that inspire or intrigue them to kick off the dis-cussion. Space Limited

Dates: May 19, 26, June 2, 9, 16

WEDNESDAY

10-11 a.m. Chakra Yoga All Levels (10 weeks) Jill Clary

Members may only register for one yoga course.

This course moves through tradi-tional yoga poses (or asanas) that align each individual chakra, mov-ing up the spine from the root chakra to the crown chakra. Chakras are energy centers located across different points on our spinal column. When energy becomes blocked in a chakra, it

triggers physical, mental, or emotional imbalances that mani-fest in symptoms such as anxiety, lethargy, or poor digestion. This class is for the student who likes a fluid, mindful practice that links alignment, movement and breath. Participants should wear comfort-able, loose-fitting clothing and use a yoga mat. Space limited.

Dates: May 20, 27, June 3, 10, 17, July 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

10-11:30 a.m. Introduction to Memoir Sandra Gould Ford

Memoirs are stories about true experiences that could have lasted two minutes, two weeks or 20 years. Introduction to Memoir teaches story-telling tips that bring memories to life on the page. As Jewell Parker Rhodes wrote, “Memoir (is) a quest to discover again the secret of living.” In this intro course, we’ll learn to describe people, places and events. We’ll re-collect experi-ences in ways that give our lives meaning and that help others, especially later generations, to learn about our times. Perhaps this course is also a chance to record the impact of this extraordi-nary time we are living in and its impact on our lives. Space limited.

Dates: May 20, 27, June 3, 10, 17

Reading the Data and Understanding the Election Alan Irvine

The media tell us that candidates are up in the polls, then they are down in the polls. Unemployment is up. A recession is looming (or not). Every candidate who does X

goes on to win (or lose.) What does it all mean? How accurate is all this? Sure, the candidates and media will claim to explain it, but do any of them know what the numbers really mean? In this class, we will consider how to read opinion polls, graphs, and charts, and make sense of all the tech-nical data that candidates and media like to cite, so that you can interpret it all for yourself.

Dates: May 20,27, June 3, 10, 17

1-2:15 p.m.

Brexit Revisited Iain Campbell

On Friday, January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) for-mally left the European Union (the EU), albeit without any workable framework having been estab-lished for a subsequent relationship in trade, financial cooperation, border security, cus-tom levees, and passport/ visa requirements. The run-up to the January 2020 Brexit has seen dis-sension within families, between generations, in geographical regions of the Kingdom, and throughout the whole political apparatus of the country. This four-week course will provide a summary of topics from a previous course, describe the political and social machinations of 2019 and the first month of 2020, and out-line options available in the forthcoming year(s). The issues of Scottish Independence and Irish Unification will be broached.

Dates: May 20, 27, June 3, 10

Genetic Genealogy: Connecting Ancestry DNA to Family Trees Ray Jones

Genetic genealogy has grown in popularity over the past several years. Specifically, the Ancestry DNA test will soon have a data-base of more than 16,000,000 testers, making it a valuable tool for genealogy research. Participants should have a desire to build their own family trees and genealogy research using the Ancestry DNA test and be moti-vated to be active participants in discussions and exercises to help their classmates do the same. Participants can take the class even if they have not taken the Ancestry DNA test, but the class will discuss the test at length.

Dates: May 20, 27, June 3, 10, 17

1-2:30 p.m. Detective Fiction: Tarnished Knights in a Fallen World Ken Boas

Detective fiction at its best becomes serious literature. And like all vital and relevant literature, the three detective novels we will read and discuss explore and expose both the willful corruption of modern society and the coura-geous determination to seek justice despite the overwhelming forces arrayed against such attempts. Our three detectives, all very different, all very human and flawed, struggle with their own burdens and the ghosts from the past that haunt them; from the recent past of Nazi Germany (Kerr), to the racism facing black

Americans (Mosley), to the unre-lenting denigration of women in contemporary America (Paretsky).

Dates: May 20, 27 June 3, 10, 17

THURSDAY

10-11 a.m.

Dance and Be Fit (10 weeks) Roland Ford

Dance and Be Fit engages all age groups and all ability levels with fun and easy dance and fitness routines. Learning basic dance and fitness moves will help partici-pants take more steps toward a healthier lifestyle. No experience or special skills are needed. Great for beginners as well as veteran dancers, the course can be adapted to anyone’s unique needs.

Dates: May 21, 28, June 4, 11, 18, July 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

10-11:30 a.m.

Antoni Gaudi’s Influence on Contemporary Architecture of Barcelona and Bilbao Matthew Schlueb

Antoni Gaudí’s study of natural form, equilibrated structures, color and light has forever shaped the architectural landscape of Barcelona and Bilbao. This course will examine his most seminal works, outlining schematic strate-gies, theoretic postulates, and material executions. It will also be contextualized with contemporary architectural works of Barcelona and Bilbao, illustrating Gaudí’s pioneering vision and influence on architecture structures of today.

Gaudí set out to restore humanity through a living architecture of expressionistic form and inspired one of the most creative concen-trations of architecture in the world.

Dates: May 21, 28, June 4, 11, 18

Advanced Conversational Spanish Maria Franco de Gomez

Members may take only one level of Spanish.

The course’s focus is Spanish reading and conversation as well as group discussions based on short stories from Hispanic writers. The weekly readings will form the basis for the class content. The class and discussions will be con-ducted in Spanish; therefore, participants should have a signifi-cant knowledge of Spanish. Spaced limited.

Dates: May 21, 28, June 4, 11, 18

Politics of Diversity Kristen Kanthak and Ron Idoko

Perhaps the biggest struggle in American politics today is about diversity. People who live different lives, occupy different genders, and have different skin colors all live together. Diversity is beneficial when trying to solve today’s com-plex problems. But diversity is also difficult. What does it mean to be “tolerant”? What obligations do each of us have to others? How can we increase the benefits of diversity while at the same time decreasing its costs? The politics of diversity is everywhere—from elections and elite behavior to

office politics to awareness of other groups and to one’s own identity.

Dates: May 21, 28 June 4, 11, 18

1-2:15 p.m. Understanding Point of View in Fiction Adam Reger

In this class, we’ll focus on point of view (POV), one of the most over-looked aspects of fiction. While most of us can differentiate between the first- and third-person POVs, relatively few readers appreciate how POV drives a story, the advantages and disad-vantages of each POV, or even the different kinds of third-person point of view. This class is designed for the reader interested in more technical aspects of how fiction works and the writer seek-ing to deepen their craft. Each week we’ll read a few selections illustrating one of the following points of view: first person; the exotic second person; and third person objective, limited (omnisci-ent), and omniscient. We’ll also look at a few experimental points of view. Space limited.

Dates: May 21, 28, June 4, 11, 18

History and Analysis of the Nationality Rooms Michael Walter

In this course, the Nationality Rooms at the University of Pittsburgh will be presented with insights into how they came to be, their decoration and the unique creative and intellectual character-istics of each room. Emphasis will

be placed on their individuality and, also, on how they share com-monalities.

Dates: May 21 28, June 4, 11, 18

1-2:30 p.m. Philosophy of Art and Beauty William Pamerleau

Philosophy of art, or aesthetics, is as old as any topic in philosophy. Plato and Aristotle certainly had a good deal to say about this topic, and their contributions are as salient today as they were 2,400 years ago. Most major thinkers have weighed in on the topic since. The contemporary debates build on and expand the thinking of previous centuries. And though the answers offered are quite dif-ferent now, the same essential questions are still being asked: What is beauty? What is taste? How do we determine whether something counts as art? To what extend does the audience deter-mine aesthetic qualities?

Dates: May 21, 28, June 4, 11, 18

Gentle Yoga (10 weeks) Laurel Chiappetta

Members may sign up for only one yoga course.

This class is a combination of meditation, breath work, and flow-ing movement intended for all abilities, offering nurturing,

kindness, and compassion for the body, regardless of a student’s physical abilities, age, or experi-ence. You will experiment with balance, strength, flexibility, and stillness while practicing mindful-ness and meditation techniques. Props and variations in postures are encouraged to personalize your practice and to guide you in honoring your body. Poses may be seated, standing, using chairs or the wall. Space Limited.

10-11:15 a.m.Investing in Turbulent Times Aaron Leaman

2020 has certainly proven to be an interesting year thus far, as virtu-ally every aspect of our lives and economy has been affected by global events. In times like this, handling the wild swings and vola-tility of the stock market can be quite a challenge. In this course, we will look at several ways to manage an investment portfolio through market turbulence, in both

good times and bad. We’ll review asset allocation and diversifica-tion, examine the proper way to evaluate and manage risk toler-ance, and study which types of stocks do best in varying different market environments. We’ll also learn how to evaluate and inte-grate all the different news and investment advice that can fre-quently be overwhelming when trying to make important deci-sions. The class will focus on real-world, hands-on research and investment techniques that students can apply in their own portfolios.

Dates: May 22, 29, June 5, 12, 19

11a.m.-12:30 p.m.

The Origins of Life on Earth Adam Davis

Where did life begin? This class will explore the science behind the origins of life on our planet and the sequence of events that led to the first living things. Along the way, we will explore the changing environment of the planet itself over its history, discuss important evolutionary events such as the appearance of life on land, and learn about how evolution continues to shape life in our ever-changing world.

Session 2: June 26 – August 7, 2020 (No classes on Friday, July 3, 2020)

MONDAY

10-11:30 a.m. What Makes a Great President Louise Mayo

This course will be a discussion of the characteristics that make a great president. We will examine those presidents that history has judged to be great. We will also look at those who have failed or have not quite succeeded and why they did not make the grade.

Dates: June 29, July 6, 13, 20, 27

Your Amazing Brain Bruce Goldstein

The mind is truly amazing. It is responsible for everything you do and are, and often accomplishes its feats in mysterious ways. We begin by describing how scientists have studied the mind, and what their work has revealed about the relationship between mind, brain and experience. We then describe the mechanisms behind some of the things the mind does, includ-ing perceiving, remembering, thinking, reacting, and relating to other people. The emphasis will be on discussing how the mind creates our everyday experiences.

TUESDAY

10-11:15 a.m. The Entertainer: The Enduring Success of Orson Welles Robert Hoover

America’s biggest star of radio, stage and screen at 25, Orson Welles was “washed up” at 30. Or was he? This course is a revision-ist biography of the remarkable Welles who never stopped work-ing to make movies in the face of derision, rejection, poverty and a fondness for food. It focuses on his rise in the 1930s as a director who shattered Broadway’s con-ventional fare, his shocking arrival in Hollywood and his fall—and rise—as a filmmaker and raconteur.

Dates: June 30, July 7, 14 21, 28

10-11:30 a.m.

Back by Popular Demand: Joseph Conrad Abby Mendelson

The 20th-century game changer, Joseph Conrad, singlehandedly altered the landscape—and the preoccupations—of the novel. Progenitor of modernism, he encapsulated all our contemporary concerns: corruption, irony, imperialism, chance, insanity. Eerily prescient about the world which succeeded him, his themes, coupled with Conrad’s impression-ist use of time, voice, and description, set the table for every major literary artist who followed.

In the course, we will consider aspects of these works by Conrad: “The Heart of Darkness,” “Lord Jim,” “The Secret Agent,” “Chance,” “Victory,” and “Nostromo.”

Dates: June 30, July 7, 14, 21, 28

Beginning Level French: Present Tense Verbs Cathleen Sendek-Sapp

This course is designed for students with little or no prior knowledge of French. We will look at the mechanics of verb conjugations and how to use them to create simple conversationally-based present tense sentences. The scope of this class will be kept a very basic level. Vocabulary and support structures will be introduced as necessary. Space limited.

Dates: June 30, July 7, 14, 21, 28

An Introduction to Memes and Meme Culture Andrew Lotz

Memes (pronounced: meems) are an increasingly used mode of communication in our emergent wired and wireless society.

discussion of the nature of lan-guage, discourse, society, and politics, this class should be inter-esting to all students, regardless of familiarity to memes.

European Art and the Wider World, 1350-1800 Rachel Miller

In this course, we will explore how art responded to the nascent glob-alization of the early modern era (1350-1800). Our discussions will focus on what the visual arts can teach us about the growth of global trade and the intercontinen-tal transfer of ideas, knowledge, and culture. At the same time, we will also study what has been called “the darker side of the Renaissance,” as Europeans began colonizing, exploiting, and enslaving other peoples of the world and how art increasingly reflected these imbalanced power dynamics. This course will include not only painting, sculpture, and architecture, but also other types of visual culture, such as prints, maps, textiles, and ceramics. Throughout the course, we will have a chance to discuss schol-arly literature in the field of art history that focuses on the inter-connections and conflicts between various peoples and cultures.

10 a.m.-noon Finding Your Artist Voice Anne Rosenthal

This is a hands-on artmaking course, but not media-specific. You can choose your media (except for oil paint), and the instructor will help you improve your artmaking skills. You will be introduced to new techniques to fuel your creativity, along with weekly exercises and discussion to hone in on your creative process and what inspires your work. Space limited.

Utilitarianism and Its Discontents Greg Strom

The prestige of utilitarianism—the idea that what makes an action ethically good is the happiness that results from it—extends well beyond philosophical circles: it has been used to justify public pol-icy and articulated on “Star Trek” by Spock. Although most philoso-phers think utilitarianism has its difficulties, it is widely held that these difficulties are superficial or technical rather than fatal. In this course, however, we will examine several challenges to utilitarianism that cut deeper than that, to ques-tion utilitarianism at its foundations and clarify what is really at stake in ethical philosophy.

Dates: July 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30

What’s American About American Music? Owen Cantor

Immigrants, slaves, and visitors contributed to the "sound" of America. Let's hear together how this sound was created. American music is not what we popularly think it is.

1-2:15 p.m. Does Our Solar System Contain Another Major Planet? Speaker: Arthur Kosowsky, PhD

The planet of Neptune was famously discovered in 1846 by noticing the slight effect of its gravity on the orbit of Uranus. In the past few years, it has been suggested that the gravity of another large planet might be responsible for some puzzling alignments of distant, minor bodies in the solar system. After

reviewing the historic story of the discoveries of Neptune and Pluto, Dr. Kosowsky will review how many small Pluto-like objects have been discovered over the past 20 years and how they led to the demotion of Pluto from the ranks of planetdom. He will also discuss how their funny orbital properties have led to speculations about the existence of a new Planet 9 with some considerations of how Planet 9 might be detected, and the surprising role that upcoming cosmology experiments could play in finding a new planet in our solar system.

Arthur Kosowsky, PhD, is a pro-fessor in the University of Pittsburgh Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, Department of Physics and Astronomy, and is a theoretical cosmologist who has pondered the above questions for the past 20 years.

1-2:15 p.m.

Putting the Business in Show Business Speaker: Lou Castelli

When Irving Berlin penned the immortal “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” he got it right. Beneath the glitz and glamour of on-stage artistic experiences, it’s quite a complex and ever-changing industry. Lou Castelli, managing director of Pittsburgh Public Theater, the region’s largest producing theater, will take you behind-the-scenes of what it takes to make live theater happen. From selecting shows and casting actors to staying rele-vant in a competitive marketplace

while still paying the bills on time, Castelli will share the highs and lows of a businessperson’s life in the performing arts.

thinking in political thought. In his spare time, he paints miniatures, reads about the future, and gener-ally sits around fearing the imminent collapse of all human existence.

MONDAY, JULY 13

1-2:15 p.m. New Fossil Discoveries from the End of the Age of Dinosaurs in Antarctica Speaker: Matt Lamanna, PhD

Though today it is a remote, inhospitable landmass, Antarctica was a very different place at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs (from about 100 to 66 million years ago). The continent was relatively warm and lush, home to a great diversity of plants and animals, including dinosaurs. Paleontological and geological discoveries have pro-vided clues as to what Antarctica was like during this time, but countless mysteries remain. In this presentation, Dr. Lamanna will recount the expeditions that he and his collaborators have taken to the frozen continent in search of answers.

Matt Lamanna, PhD is a paleon-tologist and the principal dinosaur researcher at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. He received his PhD in 2004 from the University of Pennsylvania.

1-2 p.m.

Racial Inequality and ‘The World’s Greatest Deliberative Body’: The U.S. Senate Then and Now Speaker: Wesley Hiers, PhD

This talk examines racialized forms of political inequality linked to the U.S. Senate. It draws on the speaker’s research into party re-alignment on race as well as equal state representation’s role in per-petuating racial inequality, both during the Civil Rights Era (1930s-1960s). While the primary data are historical, our speaker will relate the research to the present and discuss present-day implications.

Wesley Hiers, PhD, is director of the Administration of Justice Legal Studies programs in the College of General Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. He earned his PhD in sociology from UCLA, in part, based on research into the histori-cal and political sociology of legally institutionalized racial exclusion. He formerly taught in the sociology department at the University of Pittsburgh.

MONDAY, JULY 27

1-2:30 p.m. United States-Iran Showdown: Implications for the Future Speaker: Ross Harrison

The United States and Iran have been on a collision course since the Iranian revolution over forty years ago. But the conflict between the two countries took a new turn, escalating sharply when

the Trump Administration with-drew from the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018, and re-imposed pun-ishing sanctions on Iran. The relationship between the U.S. and Iran has spiraled out of control, culminating in the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani by the United States in January. In response, Iran launched missile attacks on Iraqi bases that housed American troops, leading to dam-age and some injuries.

There are several questions these events raise. What is likely to occur next in U.S.-Iranian rela-tions? What is the likelihood of war between the two countries? What is the position of the Europeans, Russia and China? Is the status quo sustainable in Iran domestically and in U.S.-Iranian relations? What are the prospects for U.S.-Iranian negotiations? Can the Iran nuclear deal be salvaged? What does this conflict mean for stability in the broader Middle East?

Ross Harrison is a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute in addi-tion to teaching in the Department of Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh. He is also on faculty at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He lectures regularly on matters related to strategy and as well as Middle East politics at the U.S. Department of State, the National War College, National Defense University, The Naval War College, and the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute among others. Harrison authored “Strategic Thinking in 3D: A Guide for National Security, Foreign Policy and Business Professionals” and is currently writing a book on Iran’s foreign policy.

How to Audit Undergraduate Courses One membership benefit of OLLI at Pitt is the ability to audit preapproved undergraduate courses. To “audit” a course means that the student does not receive a grade nor credits and generally does not participate in exams or homework. Each term OLLI arranges for hun-dreds of undergraduate Pitt courses to be preapproved for members to audit. Auditors are guests in the course for which they register and participation can be limited or restricted by the pro-fessor or department. Members may audit two courses per term as a bene-fit of membership. Additional courses audited are charged $25 per course.
