Annual Appeal 2012-2013

OLLI@CSUMB continues to be the best educational bargain on the Central Coast. Nowhere else will you find a diverse array of university-level courses at such affordable rates. But, we can’t continue to offer such value without your help. Please consider being an active part of our annual appeal with your tax-deductible donation to OLLI@CSUMB. We’ve made great strides thus far with over one-fourth of our members contributing but need additional support in order to sustain the program in the year ahead. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

The artworks that illustrate this Spring 2013 OLLI@CSUMB course catalog have been generously provided by the Monterey Museum of Art. The holdings of the Monterey Museum of Art encompass several complementary collections, including Early California Painting (1875-1945); American Art (1875-1945); Contemporary Art (1945-present); Photography and Asian Art. The Museum’s important collection of early California paintings and works on paper celebrates the Monterey Peninsula’s legacy as an influential art colony, as well as includes works created during the decades of the 1920s and 1930s—a period defined as California Modernism. A counterpart to the Early California collection, the American Art holdings include paintings and works on paper spanning major North American art historical movements of the late 19th century to 1945. The distinguished photography holdings of the Monterey Museum of Art span the history of this medium and have begun to expand into the 21st century with contemporary artists. The museum’s contemporary art collection includes paintings and works on paper from 1945 to the present.

Marine Science Series

Jan. 25: The Deep Mystery of Submarine CanyonsThe second half of the 20th century will almost certainly be remembered as the Golden Age of Geology—a time when we gained knowledge and understanding of many aspects of our planet. One unsolved mystery, however, is the origin of submarine canyons—vast gullies that dissect our continental margins. Canyon floors are at depths seldom visited by scientists. This session will look at what has been observed and what is surmised about the origin of submarine canyons and the processes that operate within them.

Feb. 1: Evolution of the Marine Mammals of Central CaliforniaThis session follows the history of the earth as it relates to the origins of West Coast cetaceans, pinnipeds, and sea otters.

Tackling the Tough Ones TogetherMany of our most thoughtful pieces of literature are difficult to read alone. The level of creative inquiry that the reader must bring to bear while reading these pieces is significant. It’s simply much more fun to read these books in a group setting with a guide. In this course, we’ll tackle Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Beloved, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s masterpiece, One Hundred Years of Solitude. These novels allow us to explore magical realism, an important literary concept, as well as the histories that provide the background of each book. The rewards of reading these novels will last a lifetime. (The books are not included in the course fee.)

Human Health and Environmental ChemicalsThe use of toxic chemicals has increased since WWII. Ubiquitous exposures occur throughout one’s lifespan. Evidence of the effects of environmental toxicants is growing. Many of these chemicals act as endocrine disruptors that cause harm at doses previously believed to be safe. Dr. Perron believes that exposure to environmental contaminants is an underappreciated public health crisis. This four-part series will explore new concepts in toxicology to bring a greater understanding about common chemicals such as pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, and chemicals found in everyday products. Health effects will be discussed in depth. Strategies to reduce personal exposure will also be discussed.

The Journals and Art of Jo MoraIn 1903, Joseph Jacinto “Jo” Mora (1876-1947) began exploring the California Mission Trail—alone and on horseback. His journey soon led to an exploration of Yosemite and the Navajo and Hopi lands of Arizona. As it happened, Jo Mora kept meticulous journals and wrote numerous letters during his excursions. He also created outstanding artwork while on the trail. This class will provide an opportunity for OLLI members to see the original material. Mora’s journals will provide the text and his artwork will be the visual

heart of this presentation. This is a rare opportunity to ponder days gone by and to see primary source material that only exists in the Mora archives.

Sardine Fishing at the Dark of the MoonAt the turn of the 20th century Monterey fishermen went out for sardines during the day, listening for the “flip in the water” that schooling fish make. But long ago fishermen knew that the sardines feed off a small phosphorescent animal that can be only seen at night—when the moon is at its darkest. Learning this, the modern day fishermen began to fish for sardines at night, during the dark of the moon. This OLLI program will explore the history of the Monterey sardine industry in two parts. Part one will be comprised of lecture and performance, including historic photos and interviews. The second part will feature a trip on the Monterey Bay at night. We’ll follow in the footsteps of those early Monterey sardine fishermen and go out on the sea in the dark of the moon.

300 Words: Introduction to Writing Flash Fiction (or Nonfiction)Flash fiction/nonfiction stories are less than 1,000 words long. Some literary magazines are devoted to this form: Brevity features nonfiction up to 750 words, Quick Fiction publishes 500-word stories, and NANO Fiction’s limit is a mere 300 words. We’ll explore the “flash” concept with some short readings, then pre-draft our own stories, assembling a rough draft of up to 300 words. Use the word limit to push your boundaries: If you write fiction, try nonfiction. If you prefer realism, experiment with something speculative or surreal. Students should bring a notebook and pen or pencil; laptop optional.

Gender in American Culture and BeyondIn the United States those individuals who identify as either male or female and conform to our collective ideals about masculinity and femininity are accepted in society. A significant number of Americans, however, do not conform to these endorsed gender roles and have been marginalized and discriminated against for their perceived deviancy. The gay, lesbian, and transgendered communities have obviously suffered under our binary system but, additionally, working moms, stay-at- home dads, female CEOs, and male nurses have also experienced discrimination for breaking traditional gender roles. In this course we will discuss gender in the U.S. and other relevant topics including sexual double standards, stereotypes, faith-based prohibitions, libido and physical attraction, evolutionary psychology and Darwinian evolution, politics and reproduction, and a number of other polarizing topics. Additionally, we will explore case studies from Africa to Samoa that will allow us to critique American gender systems.

John Steinbeck, Edward F. Ricketts, and Joseph Campbell: Intersecting MindsIn 1932, a footloose Joseph Campbell showed up at John Steinbeck’s Pacific Grove cottage. Thus began a few weeks of intense conversation about myth, ritual, spirit and place--dialogues that included Steinbeck’s closest friend, marine biologist Edward F. Ricketts. This course will consider how Steinbeck’s writing was shaped by these conversations. We will discuss To a God Unknown and Sea of Cortez, the book that best captures the thoughts of all three men. We will conclude with Steinbeck’s ecological novella, Cannery Row. We will also read one of Ricketts’s essays and brief selections from Campbell’s work.

Introduction: Wednesday, Apr. 10; 6:00 - 8:00pm Course: Thursdays, Apr. 18, 25; May 2, 9; 4:00 - 6:00pm Place: OLLI@CSUMBFee: $50

Feb. 12: Kat MeadsCalifornia Artist Fellowship recipient Kat Meads’s newest novel was an eight-year adventure in turning history into fiction. Kat will discuss how a California gal came to write about the Russian Revolution, where the research led her (a trip to St. Petersburg) and read from For You, Madam Lenin. She’ll also sign copies. Come enjoy a lively hour that merges literature and history.

Mar. 12: Fred SetterbergIt’s 1950, and the great suburban experiment has begun—that’s the setting for Fred Setterberg’s true-life novel, Lunch Bucket Paradise. A new house, a garage where you can spend all Saturday tuning up the Chevy. Working people never had it so good. At least, for now. About the book, author Andre Dubus III said, “The prose is deliciously generous, precise and evocative… The voice is wonderful too—intimate and honest…” Fred will discuss and read from his new novel.

Apr. 9: Patrice VecchionePatrice’s new book of poems, The Knot Untied, comes out in time for National Poetry Month.

Mar. 1: Understanding EarthquakesWe live in earthquake country and sleep beside the San Andreas Fault. Dr. Allen Fuhs, Distinguished Professor (Emeritus) will discuss his new book Tsunami, focusing on the relationship between earthquakes and tsunamis. Using illustrations from his book, he’ll tell an assortment of fascinating stories—an instant waterfall as tall as a two-story building that suddenly occurred in Taiwan in 1999, mysteriously bent railroad tracks, and bridges that became deformed after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Recently, a new type of earthquake has been discovered. It’s called a supershear. You’ll learn about supershears and how they might affect those of us who live near the San Andreas Fault.

Mar. 15: Understanding Islam With so much misunderstanding in the West about Islam and Muslims and with over 6 million Muslims living in the United States, it’s important for us to recognize not only what Islam is, but to also understand what America offers Islam and especially what Islam offers America. The America that we have become is one that condones painting 1.5 billion Muslims as terrorists who mistreat women. We’ve failed to recognize that Islam shares in the “Abrahamic ethic” with both Judasim and Christianity. It is only when we come to recognize these shared values that we begin to see ourselves in the face of “the other.”

Nashwan Hamza was born in Baghdad and migrated to the United States in 1961. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Nashwan is President of the Arab-American Club, working to promote Arab culture in the U.S. He is also a member of the Islamic Networks group, which educates schools and other institu-tions on Islam and Muslims.

Apr. 26: Parting the Lettuce CurtainThe largest economic enterprise in Monterey County is agriculture. Generating $4 billion annually, made up of 1,500 businesses and over 25,000 employees, it’s twice the size of the hospitality industry. Agriculture focuses on market share, production levels, safety, land use, regulatory demands, migrant labor, efficient water and energy use. Much of this is out of view of most Peninsula residents. Urban interests on the Peninsula worry about pesticide use and run-off, organic options, immigration, land use, and more.

Join a panel discussion representing growers, shippers, regulators and urban interests. We’ll explore the dynamics of the “lettuce curtain,”—our differences and our common ground. After all, we share the fantastic benefits of this wondrous area.Tom Millea, Sue Lauwers, The Warrior Queen, 2001,
