Your Thanksgiving weekend in Michigan isn't complete without hearing Matt Watroba! Matt is the kind of guy who makes friends easily. Not only is he on a first-name basis with most of the major folk musicians in North America after a few decades of sharing stages with them, but he also has the kind of rapport with audiences that makes them feel as if they're sitting among friends in a living room. Matt's local shows have had the feel of a homecoming for Michigan folk music, with great songs and warm memories for all—and often special guests!

Born in Flint and a true Michigan institution, Mr. B (Mark Braun) is a rare living link to the early days of boogie woogie, having learned directly from legends like Little Brother Montgomery and Blind John Davis. He plays in concert halls, he plays outdoors, he's even played on a piano being paddled out to Mackinac Island, but wherever you heard him, it's an exciting show. Each year Mr. B stops in at The Ark for a Thanksgiving weekend concert, and it always brings something new. Mr. B often brings in musicians from around southeast Michigan and beyond for a boogie and jazz blowout to kick off the holiday season with a big dose of boogie woogie joy. You may think every town has a Mr. B, but you would be very, very wrong!

John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”: Novel and Film (November 30, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85544 85544-21626834@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 30, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

For this class instructor, Mary Engelhardt, will facilitate a discussion of John Steinbeck’s novel and John Ford’s 1940 film adaptation, with ample time to process both what we read and what we see. Considered to be Steinbeck’s masterpiece, The “Grapes of Wrath” is a story of human unity and love, confirming the need for cooperation rather than individualism during hard times.

Please secure and read the entire 455-page novel. First published in 1939, the novel takes place during America’s Great Depression, which lasted from the Stock Market Crash of October 1929 until the beginning of World War II. During this time, a long period of drought and high winds impacted large parts of the American Midwest, creating what was called the Dust Bowl. Many people in the lower Midwest moved elsewhere, hoping to find fertile land on which to make a living.

The novel was #12 on the list of the 100 most-loved books in PBS’s The Great American Read.

Instructor, Mary Engelhardt has a BS degree in elementary education with a minor in Language and Literature from Eastern Michigan University. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Degree from Oakland University. Steinbeck is Mary’s favorite author.

This study group will meet on Tuesday, November 30 and Wednesday, December 1. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

The Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar. Digital City: A Spatial Study on Nonextant Islamic Infrastructure in Early Modern Ottoman Filibe (November 30, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87819 87819-21647038@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 30, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

The symbolic rupture with the imperial past in many post-Ottoman cities in the Balkans materialized via organized effort for “modernization” of the urban space systematically carried out by the nation-state authorities. As a result, a large segment of the built-in environment was replaced early on by “modern” public and residential architecture, a process that went hand in hand with a substantial alteration of the inherited street network. The transformative nature of the intentional policies for reshaping the cityscapes often quickly obliterated the Ottoman urban tissue, thus depriving modern scholarship of studying the morphology of the cities from the Ottoman era based on preserved examples. Moreover, contemporary archaeology cannot be particularly effective because most of the buildings that replaced the Ottoman structures still stand in densely built modern urban cores, which impedes any destructive and/or non-destructive archaeological studies.

This apparent lack of reliable, cadastral, or archaeologically derived data calls for alternative methods to study the long-vanished Ottoman urban fabric and the public buildings constituting its skeleton. Bringing together a wide array of different sources that offer useful information on architectural objects, street patterns, and separate residential areas (mahalle), this lecture aims to introduce a methodology for creating a spatially referenced database, which can digitally recreate the non-extant urban fabric of Ottoman cities in the Balkans. Focusing on a detailed analysis of Filibe (Plovdiv), the principal town of Central Bulgaria, the lecture seeks to demonstrate the general applicability of the methodology for studying urban development across the Ottoman Empire.

Grigor Boykov, Ph.D. in Ottoman history (2013), is a researcher at the Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Before joining the Academy in 2019, he taught at the University of Sofia (2014-2019), Central European University in Budapest (2015-2016), and was a research fellow at the Netherlands Institute in Turkey (2012-2014). Boykov has been a team member of the projects “The Fashioning of a Sunni Orthodoxy and the Entangled Histories of Confession-Building in the Ottoman Empire, 15th -17th Centuries” (2015-2016) and “Industrialisation and Urban Growth from the mid-nineteenth century Ottoman Empire to Contemporary Turkey in a Comparative Perspective, 1850-2000” (2017-2019). In 2019, he received MSCA-IF for his project Population Geography of Bulgaria, 1500-1920: An Historical Spatial Analysis (POPGEO_BG), conducted at Koç University in Istanbul. Among other projects, Boykov is currently working on a Historical Gazetteer of the Ottoman Empire (in cooperation with M. Erdem Kabadayı) and the Ottoman Archive of Zograf Monastery on Mt. Athos.

Under Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro both countries formed a formidable alliance that was economic, political, and military. It particularly involved Cuba sending around 35,000 doctors to work in Venezuela in exchange for Venezuela sending around 90,000 barrels of oil a day. Both countries are now in a deep-seated state of crisis. This lecture explores the sources of the crises in both countries and their ongoing alliance. Silvia Pedraza leads this course on Wednesday December 1 from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.
