Murder Most Foul: Homicide in Early America (September 18, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64580 64580-16388949@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 18, 2019 1:30pm
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In the summer of 2012 the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan mounted an exhibition of primary sources on murder in America from the 1670s to 1900. Clements Director J. Kevin Graffagnino’s PowerPoint presentation of murder books, pamphlets, serials, prints, photographs, and ephemera illustrates the ways our ancestors dealt with murder as vehicle for moral instruction, basis for social attitudes and legal policy, and source of guilty-pleasure titillation. Given the enduring popularity of crime and punishment for America readers, collectors, and researchers, this lecture for those 50 and over should appeal to scholarly and popular audiences alike. Instructor J. Kevin Graffagnino has been Director of the University of Michigan’s William L. Clements Library since 2008 and will be retiring after 11 years at the end of December.

Location: Kellogg Eye Center

Irene Butter, a Holocaust survivor and longtime peace activist and a UM emerita professor of public health, is the co-founder of the Raoul Wallenberg Medal and Lecture at UM and co-founder of Zeitouna, an Arab-Jewish women’s dialogue group in Ann Arbor.

Her first-person memoir, "Shores Beyond Shores", is an account of how the heart keeps its common humanity in the most inhumane and turbulent of times. Ms. Butter will share her life experiences. She grew up as a Jewish child in Nazi-occupied Europe and survived two concentration camps.

“I didn’t ask to go through the Holocaust, but I was saved through the miracles of luck and the love and determination of my Pappi. I owe it to him and everybody who suffered to talk about what I learned because suffering never ends, so our work must continue,” Ms. Butter said. Her book will be available for purchase.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute membership is not required to attend this event.

With the official end of the European colonial empires in the twentieth century, novelists in former colonies began to write about their identities: what to recover from the indigenous cultures? In the twenty-first century, writers on racism have begun to use “decolonizing” to address race. What does that metaphor reveal about racial issues? What obscure?

OLLI Dialog on Freedom & Diversity with Dilip Das (September 24, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/64680 64680-16426886@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Freedom is a core value, a proud symbol of what it means to be American. The meaning of freedom has evolved over the 243 years since our country’s founding. For many, freedoms were denied or constrained by laws, policies, and dominant culture. Today, in 2019, more individuals and groups feel a sense of freedom than ever before, but many, still, are marginalized. We will talk, as an OLLI group, about freedom and how an understanding of diversity and inclusion is deeply embedded into the meaning of freedom.

Dilip Das is Vice Provost of Equity and Inclusion at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is a liaison for 12 UM units on campus implementing their five-year Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Strategic Plans. He is the Accreditation Liaison Officer at UM for the Higher Learning Commission’s 2020 UM Reaccreditation. Dilip also leads and helps manage statewide college access grant programs and mentors both graduate and undergraduate students. Dilip holds a doctorate in higher education administration, a master’s in science education, and a bachelor’s degree
in biology.

A first in a series of conversations with retiring academic and community leaders who will share their stories and unique perspectives as they look to their second acts.

Mah-Jongg is a Chinese game resembling Gin Rummy, but is played with colorful tiles instead of cards. It is easy to learn and can become quite addictive! Classes for those 50 and over start with a brief lecture, followed by actual playing of the game with continuous guidance from the instructor. Mah-Jongg sets will be provided.

Instructor Stuart Baggaley has taught his modified and simplified version of the game at many venues. He is a British World War II veteran (RAF) who emigrated from Norway in 1957, leaving the Fulbright Foundation in Oslo. He retired from UM Medical School (Anatomy) in 1990.

Sessions will meet Tuesdays from 1-3pm from September 24 through October 29.

Ultimately a question Louis cannot answer, he will try to illuminate the greatness about selected/popular concert pieces. Why do we love the Beethoven Fifth Symphony? What was some other music contemporary with this masterpiece and what makes it a masterpiece? The instructor will rely on recordings as well as his own playing in these sessions.
Dr. Louis Nagel, instructor, is Professor Emeritus of piano and piano literature after serving for forty-seven years on the faculty of the UM School of Music Theatre and Dance. He has concertized and lectured throughout the United States and internationally and worked collaboratively with his wife, the psychologist and musician Dr. Julie Jaffee Nagel. In “retirement” he continues to be active as a performer, lecturer, and teacher. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Tuesdays, 1:30–3:00 pm on September 24 – October 29.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This study group will discuss the ideas in “American Dialogue: The Founders and Us”, by Joseph J. Ellis. Ellis positions our contemporary debates on race, income inequality, jurisprudence, and foreign policy in their historical context through dialogue with four founders—Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and Washington.

Following Ellis, the study group will engage in its own American dialogue between then and now, enabling an interactive process through which we can frame current issues in light of their historical origins and see our founders through a modern lens. The book will be available at Literati Bookstore. Additional readings to be supplied.

This study group for those 50 and over will be led by instructors John Roundtree and Larry Berlin and will meet for two hours on Wednesdays, from September 25 through November 6, (no class on October 9).

In some cases, the malfunction of a signal molecule in our body causes diseases. Here the protein NLRP3 will be taken as an example. The course will first provide the basic background of molecular cell biology, such as the concepts of cell and its building blocks; then introduce NLRP3, its function in the normal condition and its relations with diseases, such as auto-inflammatory disorders, type 2 diabetes, gout, Alzheimer disease, etc.
The goal of this course is to bring science to the community and highlight the importance of basic biological research in medicine. Jie Xu, instructor, has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan Medical School since 2018. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Fridays, 3:15–4:45 pm on September 27 – October 4.

Now that it’s clear that efforts to deal with gerrymandering cannot be litigated in federal court, the question is whether state independent redistricting commissions are the best approach to the problem. Another approach would be to adopt a state-wide list system of proportional representation, as described in Bob Davidow’s recent article in the Wayne Law Review. With a state-wide system, there would be no district line to draw -- hence no gerrymandering. The proposed system would not only reduce the amount of money needed for election, but also reduce the influence of the wealthy and well-connected. Demographic changes would not affect the operation of the system. An independent redistricting commission would do none of these things.

This course for those 50 and over will be led by Instructor Bob Davidow, Professor of Law (retired) from George Mason University. He is the author of Response to Gerrymandering.

Then we’ll take a short walk to the Ypsilanti Ladies Literary Club 218 N. Washington St., Ypsilanti, MI (event ends here) to hear former City Councilman and Ypsilanti historian Bill Nickels tell the story of the unique university and manufacturing town.

Finally, Ypsilanti Mayor Beth Bashert will describe Ypsilanti today – its growing economy and downtown, new industries with a focus on tech and the arts, changes on the Huron River, and a future built on a rich and unique history.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute membership is not required to attend this event.

Project Management Certification (October 6, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126018@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 6, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Film Classics (October 7, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64642 64642-16402991@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 7, 2019 1:00pm

Why do some films seem so much better than others and maintain a reputation for what seems forever? Why do these films have an impact on the development of the cinema while others drop quickly into oblivion? In other words, why are some films “classics” and what do we mean by the term “classic” to begin with?
Let’s take a look at the following film classics and respond to those questions: Grand illusion (France, 1937); The African Queen (USA, 1951); Touch of Evil (USA, 1958); Late Spring (Japan, 1949); Chinatown (USA, 1974); and Groundhog Day (USA, 1993). Ira Konigsberg, instructor, is Professor Emeritus of Film at the University of Michigan. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Mondays and Wednesdays, 1:00-4:00 pm on October 7, October 14, October 21, October 30, November 4 and November 11.

In the 300 years since its publication, Defoe’s narrative of shipwreck and survival has captured readers’ imaginations, inspiring a multitude of adaptations and spin-offs, and becoming a cultural touchstone. Featuring material from the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center’s Hubbard Imaginary Voyages Collection, the exhibit explores questions about self-sufficiency, otherness, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.

The Public Health Crisis of American Gun Violence (October 14, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64615 64615-16396981@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 14, 2019 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Physicians for the Prevention of Gun Violence (PPGV) is a Michigan based organization that educates physicians on the prevention of gun violence. Approximately 100 Americans are shot to death each day and over twice as many are physically wounded.

PPGV has been educating health professions to talk to patients about access to guns, safe storage, and helping them make decisions that facilitate optimal health and safety. Recognizing that the majority of gun deaths are due to suicide, PPGV emphasizes the need to keep guns out of the hands of people with emotional, substance related, or mental health crises. PPGV also advocates for the passage of sensible gun reform legislation.

In this presentation for those 50 and over we will examine gun violence, focusing on how particular populations such as women, children, communities of color, and individuals struggling with mental health challenges are uniquely affected. We will examine the epidemiology of gun violence and outline some of the ways in which politics have become entangled with the pursuit of life saving interventions. We will describe how non-medical community members can have a major impact in raising awareness by inquiring about safe storage of firearms. We will also discuss selected state and federal gun violence related legislation and encourage attendees to contact elected leaders to advocate for bills to prevent gun violence. Finally, we will open the conversation to course attendees as we examine the historical challenges faced in addressing gun violence and discuss opportunities to effect meaningful change.

This presentation by Sonya Lewis, MD, MPH will last two hours.

We will discuss Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, in which she alludes to issues such as the unmarried woman, inherited wealth, abduction, and sexual scandal, as well as the Napoleonic wars. Austen knew that contemporary readers understood the social and political issues of their day and that they could envision the private homes of her protagonists without elaborate descriptions. To enrich your appreciation of Austen, the course for those 50 and over will meet Tuesdays, 3-4:30 p.m. from October 15 through November 12. Instructor Mary Lindner will address social mores, neoclassical architecture, interior design, and clothing. Many of them can be seen in recent BBC videos, parts of which we will watch as we cover the novel’s rich background.

Can Democracy Survive Global Capitalism? (October 16, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64548 64548-16388899@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 16, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This course is based on the book titled Can Democracy Survive Global Capitalism?, by Robert Kuttner (cofounder and coeditor of The American Prospect). The author observes that in the past few decades, the wages of most workers have stagnated, and downward mobility has produced political backlash. Kuttner argues that neither trade nor immigration nor technological change is responsible for the harm to workers’ prospects. Instead, global capitalism is to blame. By limiting workers’ rights, liberating bankers, allowing corporations to evade taxation, and preventing nations from assuring economic security, raw capitalism strikes at the very foundation of a healthy democracy. The author charts a plan for bold action to make capitalism serve democracy, based on political precedent.

Participants in this course for those 50 and over will read portions of the book in advance, and bring related materials if available, for discussion during class. The classes will meet Wednesdays from 2-4pm from October 16 through November 6.

Instructor Karen Bantel has facilitated several courses for OLLI: World in Disarray, Russia, Autocracy, Western Liberalism, and TED talks. She was a professor and consultant of business strategy and entrepreneurship for many years.

The lecture course for those 50 and over blends material from autobiographical and contemporary biographical sketches of White Kennett, Isaiah Thomas, James Lenox, Joseph Sabin, John Carter Brown, Lyman Copeland Draper, George Brinley Jr., and the other noteworthy specialists who created and nurtured the Americana field from the late seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. Illustrations from the collections of the Clements Library and other leading institutional archives provide a panoramic window on the early story of Americana appreciation, collecting, and description. Anyone with a professional or avocational interest in antiquarian Americana will find The Pioneer Americanists a treasury of information, enlightenment, and inspiration. Instructor J. Kevin Graffagnino has been director of the University of Michigan’s William L. Clements Library since 2008 and will be retiring after 11 years at the end of December.

This is the inspiring story of how Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, alongside a team of researchers, parents, friends, and community leaders, discovered that the children of Flint, Michigan, were being exposed to lead in their tap water—and then battled her own government and a brutal backlash to expose that truth to the world. Paced like a scientific thriller, What the Eyes Don’t See reveals how misguided austerity policies, broken democracy, and callous bureaucratic indifference placed an entire city at risk.

And at the center of the story is Dr. Mona herself—an immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose family’s activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice.

OLLI Reads invites OLLI members and others to read together and discuss two books a year. This fall we are collaborating with Great Michigan Read, and other community partners, to enjoy participating in a wider project. Michigan Humanities’ Great Michigan Read creates a statewide discussion each year on the humanities themes of a selected book.

Mona Hanna-Attisha, MD, is the founder and director of the Michigan State University and Hurley Children’s Hospital Pediatric Public Health Initiative. Currently an associate professor of pediatrics and human development at the MSU College of Human Medicine, she has been named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for her role in uncovering the Flint water crisis and leading recovery efforts.

Oxford Style Debates Covering Key Issues of Our Time (October 22, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64554 64554-16388906@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 22, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Join this discussion for those 50 and over where we will observe and then discuss 3 different debates as featured on the UK/US series Intelligence Squared (IQ2). Each features a debate team of 2 or 3 experts on opposing sides of a topic expressed as a declarative “motion.” The live audience votes (agree, disagree, not sure) before the teams present their rationale and pose questions to each other as well as provide responses to audience questions. After 90 minutes of this process, the audience votes again---the team that has moved the most people to their point of view is declared the winner of the debate. This process allows time for full exploration of the topic on a point, counter point basis.

The OLLI class leader, Leo Shedden, will select a topic from past episodes for viewing at home (online) with discussion to follow in week #1 (2-hour class). The class will select topics for week #2 and week #3. A few selections from the IQ2 archive follow:
• Negotiations can denuclearize North Korea
• Trigger warning: Safe spaces are dangerous
• Western democracy is threatening suicide
• The right to bear arms has outlived its usefulness
• Better elected Islamists than dictators
Join us for this unique learning opportunity! Sessions will meet on Tuesdays October 22, November 19, and December 3 from 1-3 pm.

On Listening to Holocaust Survivors (October 23, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/64582 64582-16388951@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 23, 2019 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This seminar for those 50 and over is based on the instructor’s forty years of interviewing, teaching about, and writing about Holocaust survivors. In contrast with conventional “testimony” models--2 or 3 hours in front of a video camera--the instructor spoke with the same survivors over months, years, and - with a few people - even decades. The course also emphasizes listening attentively and in depth. That approach often yields surprising insights not otherwise attainable.

Core topics include: (1) The psychological impacts of sustained hate; in this case, antisemitism; (2) What does “trauma” mean and how is it related to other agonies survivors suffer (loss, abandonment, humiliation, stigma, etc.)? (3) How does the experience of survivors challenge conventional psychological assumptions about both injury and resilience? (4) How do listener expectations and capacities - actual and perceived - impact whether, when, and how survivors retell their memories? (5) What does it mean to be able to “listen” to someone who has gone through such experiences - and what is and isn’t the potential impact on listeners? (6) In what ways can it be informing to juxtapose Holocaust survivors’ experiences, in the aftermath, with the experiences of others who’ve gone through hells - especially other genocide survivors, survivors of rape and assault, and survivors of life-threatening illness (especially cancer)? (7) What will actually change when there are no living Holocaust survivors (not as obvious as it may seem)?

Sessions will be held on Wednesdays from 10am-12pm from October 23 through December 11 (no class on November 27). Instructor Hank Greenspan is a psychologist, oral historian, and playwright who has been interviewing, writing about, and teaching about Holocaust survivors since the 1970s, now almost fifty years.

Through guided group discussion, we will look at the history and current state of the relationship between the scientific community and the Christian (or religious) community. Are the two inherently opposed to one another? What ideas are responsible for the conflicts between them? Can we better understand each other and listen to opposing viewpoints? How do those with a passion for both science and religion reconcile the two?

Cathy Britton, instructor, has a strong background in science, a Master’s in Electrical and Computer Control Systems, and 27 years of experience as an electrical engineer. Over the years, she has observed and studied this conflict carefully, having close relationships with people on both sides of the conflict. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Fridays, 1:00–3:00 pm on October 25 – December 6 (no class on November 29).

TED is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to “ideas worth spreading,” via powerful talks. TED began as a conference investigating topics where technology, entertainment, and design converged. Today, TED hosts remarkable speakers from all disciplines addressing a broad variety of fascinating topics before live, thoughtfully engaged audiences. The video recordings of these talks now comprise a library of over 3,000 talks viewed online by millions.

In each session we will view two TED talks as a group and will engage in a discussion about what we saw. Facilitators Lee Pizzimenti and Terry Smith will pick the first two talks to be discussed on the first day, and members of the group will select talks for further sessions. The facilitators will present several suggestions, but will encourage members of the group to suggest TED talks they think would interest the group. You can google TED talks to sample the offerings and find background information.

This study group for those 50 and over will meet for two hours on Tuesdays from October 29 through December 3.

The dream of using signals from the brain to restore motor control in people with paralysis or amputation is getting closer to reality. Electrodes that monitor or send signals to neurons in the brain have been reduced in size until they are no bigger than the neurons themselves, and arrays can interface with hundreds of individual neurons.
The course will discuss this area of research and highlight one such application, where 8-µm carbon electrodes implanted in the finger control areas of the brain are being developed to control movement of individual fingers. Cynthia Chestek, instructor, is an associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan, where she runs the Cortical Neural Prosthetics Laboratory. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Tuesday, 1:30–3:00 pm on October 29.

Each small group will read their ten-minute script twice, once as a rehearsal within their circle and once as a reading to the rest of the class.
Following each play reading, there will be a lively discussion facilitated by Terry Madden, instructor, who will make sure all voices are heard. From facilitating Readers Theater in high school English classes in Brooklyn to elementary schools in Ann Arbor to OLLI classes in Washtenaw County, Terry Madden has enjoyed hearing the voices and the laughter of participants young and old reading short plays aloud. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Wednesdays, 9:30–11:30 am on October 30 – November 20.

As we investigate aspects of the 5000-year history of mathematics, we will recognize individual accomplishments as well as the context in which they were conceived. Mathematics developed because of the cultural, economic, and religious needs of society. Mathematical thought often flourished at times when societies had enough wealth to support a leisure class or in times of war. It is through this lens that we will study the discoveries of some great mathematicians, focusing on different times in history and emphasizing some amazing men and women whose discoveries advanced knowledge of mathematics in the eras in which they lived.
This course requires no advanced knowledge of mathematics, only a lively curiosity. There will be many hands-on activities throughout. Joan Cohen Jones, instructor, is a retired mathematics professor who has taught a number of OLLI classes. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Wednesdays, 10:00am–12:00 pm on October 30 – November 6.

Author Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, a former Google data scientist, lecturer at the Wharton Business School, and NY Times opinion writer, draws this conclusion in the title book. He analyzed data derived from bits of information left on Google, social media, dating, and even porn sites, that reveal people’s personal truths.

He maintains that Internet searches done in private and social media postings reveal what folks really think and that people lie to friends, lovers, surveys – even themselves. The author covers inner feelings on topics such as prejudice, hate, sex, abortion, how we fill our time, our Facebook friends, our communities, and many other subjects. He then covers what Big Data does well, does poorly, and what it should and shouldn’t be used for.

This study group for those 50 and over will read and discuss this book. The first session will cover the Foreward and Introduction (p. xi - 24).

Instructor Gerry Lapidus has lead over 50 OLLI book discussion groups on topics such as social science, politics, and religion.

This study group will meet for two hours on Mondays from November 4 through December 16.

Don’t know your Bam from your Crak? Then come learn American Mah Jongg. American Mah Jongg is a fascinating and rewarding game of skill and chance. It was originally brought to this country in the 1920s by Standard Oil executive Joseph Babcock, who rewrote and simplified the rules, forever distinguishing the game from the traditional version. If you have wanted to learn to play American Mah Jongg or are just curious about the game, and are 50 and over, this is the course for you. You will learn to recognize the tiles, read and understand the “hands”, and practice playing with ongoing review and support.

The course will meet Mondays from 1-3pm from November 4 through December 2 (no class on November 25). The course is taught by Instructor Miriam Shaw, an expert player of many years’ experience. The purchase of a current Mah Jongg card is included in the class price.

Quantum physics - the physics of ultra-tiny objects like atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles - is arguably the most successful theory in all of science. It predicts a stunning variety of phenomena to an extraordinary degree of accuracy, and its impact goes well beyond the world of the very small and into our everyday lives.
Yet at its foundation quantum physics is seriously flawed, the orthodox “Copenhagen interpretation” replacing locality with, in Einstein’s words, “spooky action at a distance”; it is at once fundamentally concerned with measurement but unable to define it.
We will discuss this and several other interpretations using physicist/philosopher Adam Becker’s fascinating book, "What is Real?". Please read Part 1 (of 3) for the first session. The fourth session will be a discussion with an expert in the field, TBD (possibly Adam Becker).
Craig Stephan, instructor, is a retired physicist who has led several study groups at OLLI, including ones on cosmology, the Higgs boson, and (concurrently) astrophysics. He is quite sure he does not have rocks in his head. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets select Mondays and Tuesdays, 1:00-3:00 pm on November 5, November 12, November 19, and November 25.

Serious scientists from a range of fields have been uncovering evidence that our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can ease pain, heal wounds, fend off infection and heart disease, and even slow the progression of AIDS and some cancers. Author of the title book, Jo Marchant, explores the vast potential of the mind’s ability to heal, lays out its limitations, and explains how we can make use of these findings in our own lives.
Amazon Review: “With clarity and compassion, Marchant points the way towards a system of medicine that treats us not simply as bodies but as human beings.” So, let’s bring our open minds and our healthy skepticism to examine this fascinating look into the possible future of medicine. Mike Murray, instructor, is a Clinical Psychologist. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Mondays, 10:00 am-12:00 pm on November 11 - December 16.

Liberals and conservatives differ on a wide range of constitutional issues currently being contested in national and state politics, including presidential versus congressional powers, freedom of speech and religion, money in politics, gun rights, abortion policy, equal protection of the law, and LGBT rights. The outcomes of many of these conflicts will be determined by the U.S. Supreme Court.

This lecture-discussion class for those 50 and over will focus on the legal status of these issues rather than on the merits of the respective positions. The vital role of citizens in the constitutional process will be emphasized. Classes will meet Mondays from 1-3 pm from November 11 through December 2. The instructor, Charles Monsma, is a retired Professor of Political Science at Eastern Michigan University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.

The University of Michigan has a distinguished collection of outdoor sculpture consisting of over 50 major pieces. The collection began in the earliest days of the campus, but the majority of the works were acquired since the late 1960’s.

During his 37-year tenure as University Planner, Fred Mayer worked directly with many of the artists on the development and siting of their works. In this presentation Mr. Mayer will trace the history of the collection and share anecdotes and personal experiences working with the artists. He will also discuss the relationship between the individual pieces and the broader area of campus planning.

It’s not hard to make elegant chocolate confections. This class will provide you with the hands-on experience needed for creating all sorts of chocolate goodies. All it takes are some very common household utensils, a bit of store-bought chocolate plus a few more basic ingredients that you may have at home or, if not, are readily available at local stores.

We will start by gaining experience in some basic chocolate handling techniques like tempering, dipping, and molding. With these skills in hand, in subsequent weeks we will create some very delicious chocolate pieces, including chocolate bars, truffles, chocolate-nut bark, chocolate-covered citrus rinds, dried fruit nibbles, turtles, and mixed-nut rochers. The hands-on work in class for those 50 and over will be supplemented with written recipes, written descriptions, and videos of the techniques employed.

Classes will meet Fridays from 1-3pm from November 15 through December 13 (no class on November 29). Your instructors will be Sydney Kaufman, who has been an amateur chocolatier for some 20 years and Gerry Lapidus, who took some of Sydney’s original chocolate classes and has been dabbling in chocolate for about six years.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Over the course of five weeks, we will read through and discuss one of William Shakespeare’s more controversial plays: The Merchant of Venice. Each session we will read out loud one act of the play, and then spend the rest of the session discussing the text and contexts. No outside reading will be required.
Active participation will be encouraged, but if you are more of a listener, then you can still join in on the discussion at the end without taking on an “acting” role. Any modern edition of the text is fine (and a free version can be found online through Project Gutenberg). Margo Kolenda-Mason, instructor, is a Ph.D. candidate in the English Language and Literature Department at UM, where she studies medieval and renaissance literature. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Mondays, 3:30–5:00 pm on November 18 – December 16.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The first session of this course for those 50 and over will help to revive memories of simpler times when laundry was always hung to dry outdoors -- when folks went “online” without the Internet! There will be washday history, sociological issues of ethnic stereotypes in the laundry industry, the role of feminism, industrialization, culture, and ecology. Instructor Anne Lawrence will share laundry poetry, personal stories, and the opportunity to consider the clothesline in ways never before appreciated. The second session will illustrate how artists and photographers have captured the beauty of the clothesline in a wide variety of ways, and how the routine of hanging laundry out to dry sets minds free to create.

Instructor Lawrence has been a clothesline historian and hobbyist for over 30 years.

Gene Therapy: Medicine’s Ultimate Frontier (December 6, 2019 3:15pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64662 64662-16410960@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 6, 2019 3:15pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This course will discuss the development of a gene-therapy strategy that enables the human body to fight malignant brain cancer and, potentially, other solid cancers by employing a highly disabled virus to deliver therapeutic cargoes. Genetically engineered viruses (vectors) kill the cancerous tumor cells and elicit an anti-tumor immune response. The presenter will also discuss the preliminary results of the Phase I clinical trial at the University of Michigan – the first-in-human, first-in-the-world clinical trial using two different gene-therapy vectors.
Maria G. Castro, instructor, is the R.C. Schneider Professor of Neurosurgery, Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, and Program Director of the Cancer Biology Training grant at the University of Michigan Medical School. She dedicates her research to novel treatments for adult and pediatric brain cancer, including immune-mediated gene therapy. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets Friday, 3:15–5:15 pm on December 6.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Climate change is becoming THE challenge of the 21st century, and is likely to impact most of the human enterprise, as well as planetary life support systems, in increasingly unprecedented ways.

Professor Jonathan T. Overpeck will discuss global implications, including the imperative to act quickly on climate change, or risk major Earth system tipping points. He’ll then drill down to the scale of the U.S. and Great Lakes region to provide a more relatable sense of what is at stake.

Professor Overpeck, William B. Stapp Collegiate Professor of Environmental Education and the Samuel A. Graham Dean of the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability, is an interdisciplinary climate scientist and has written over 210 published works on climate and the environmental sciences. He served as a Working Group 1 Coordinating Lead Author for the Nobel Prize winning IPCC 4th Assessment (2007). He is a Fellow of AGU and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and tweets about climate-related issues @GreatLakesPeck.

This is lecture #1 in the "Facing the Future: The Challenge of Climate Change" Friday themed lecture series which will explore how climate change is impacting every corner of our earth, and every aspect of our lives.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This discussion group seeks an inside view of how U.S. foreign policy is made, drawing on cases developed by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) – Model Diplomacy Program. Our aim will be to understand organizations and agencies involved in the foreign policy process; second, how foreign policy decisions are made at the highest level within the National Security Council (NSC); and lastly, to obtain an understanding of the history/context for the policy issues under discussion.
The heart of the class will be role-playing, with participants taking on the positions of their chosen role, interacting with fellow participants, and making final foreign policy recommendations. Selected readings and background materials matched to the case involved, along with tips/guidance from the CFR Model Diplomacy program will help all participants in their preparation.
Apart from the first organizational meeting, each subsequent session will focus on a different foreign policy issue from the CFR case library. If the group wishes, we may substitute a foreign policy issue of our own choosing to role play.
Instructor John Fogarasi is both a lecturer and practitioner of U.S. foreign policy, having taught political science/international affairs earlier in his career and later as a senior U.S. diplomat with over 30 years-service in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Class will meet Monday afternoons from January 20 through February 17th.

Mind-blowing Stories: Tales that are Amazing, Challenging, and True (January 21, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70452 70452-17596557@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 21, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This group will engage true stories that force us to think in new and unexpected ways about basic categories of human experience. To say it differently, these stories blow our minds. The stories include: Rubinstein, the “mad jester” of the Warsaw Ghetto; Chang and Eng: the original “Siamese twins’’; and American philosopher William James’s mysterious (to him) mystical experience in the Adirondack forest. Participants are invited to bring in stories that they believe have the same “mind-blowing” potential. Hank Greenspan is a psychologist, oral historian, essayist, and playwright recently retired from a teaching career at UM. He believes that to live is to schmooze. And to schmooze is to teach and to learn, together. The Study Group for those 50 and over is held Tuesdays January 21 through February 25 (no class Feb. 18).

The Search for Meaning (January 21, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70464 70464-17600679@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 21, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The quest to understand man’s underlying purpose has been proposed by Victor Frankl in "Man’s Search for Meaning" from which he gave his quest further definition by coining the name Logo Therapy to essentially utilize meaning to help overcome obstacles and handicaps. To establish this foundation, the instructor will first talk about definitions and how they can assist in creating common denominators but at the same time can interfere with the understanding of reality and meaning. Along with definitions, we will turn our attention to human physiology and how organs can be looked upon in alternative ways that include phenomenology. In effect, looking at organs in terms of strengths and weaknesses and how they can serve us in our quest for meaning.The Study Group for those 50 and over led by Eric Amberg is held Tuesdays January 21 through April 28.
