~ CLR Advisory Committee
FROM THE OFFICE OF CPSWelcome returning and new CLR members to the spring 2019 semester! I myself am new to the CLR program as I just embarked on my new role as the CLR Program Coordinator this month of November. I am excited to meet all of you and to dedicate my time to help grow and enhance the CLR program! I graduated a few years ago with undergraduate degrees in biology and humanities and then subsequently pur-sued my masters in theology. I have taught students of all ages in various disciplines—I have taught middle school science and math in addition to theology and philosophy courses to college students. I am a perpetual student myself, and I really enjoy and have a passion for working with learners of all ages. I am currently pursuing my masters in higher education and seek to bring my talents and experience to the CLR program to help drive its mission of meeting the needs of lifelong learners. Please know that myself along with the CPS team are working creatively and diligently to develop more exciting events and avenues for enrichment. Please stay tuned for upcoming new course offerings and CLR member exclusive community events. Together with your continued support, this will undoubtedly be a fruitful endeavor!
I am very much looking forward to working with all of you and extend to you best wishes for a wonderful semester!

CLR course descriptions and content or instructor biographies are not reviewed for accuracy or approved by the faculty or staff of DelVal. Schedules are subject to change.
205 Jack Kerouac’s Legend10:50 a.m.-12:05 p.m., Spring I termThis course will focus on the life of Jack Kerouac and the most famous book he published, “On The Road.” Kerouac (1922-1969) during his time was considered a controversial writer and his novel, “On The Road,” published in 1957 came at a time of massive cultural change in America. Recent literary scholars have begun to view Kerouac as one of the most misunderstood American authors in the history of American Literature. This course will focus on how Kerouac was indeed a highly skilled writer who possessed all the literary skills of the immortals who proceeded him. The media, however, was caught up in labeling Kerouac as a “beatnik” and held him responsible for paving the way for many undisciplined writers. This course will attempt to capture Kerouac in a more realistic light. Students would be required, over the six week period, to read the novel “On The Road,” and be prepared to engage in lively discussions from week to week. The instructor, who was granted access to Kerouac’s personal journals which are stored in the NYC Public Library in the Berg Reading Room, will provide handouts on biographical information on Kerouac’s life and times. There will also be the opportunity to view a DVD on Kerouac’s life, and CDs which recorded Kerouac reading his own novels will be available. The course will be both literary and historical and should prove to be quite exciting, especially due to the first-hand materials that will be reviewed and discussed. After reading Kerouac’s famous novel, and garnering a better understanding of the author’s life, each student will be able to judge for themselves whether Kerouac was totally misunderstood or whether there was some basis for the condemnation the author endured.
JACK SILLERY is a retired juvenile probation officer having served Bucks County for 20 years. His path to his job included a strong liberal arts education at the University of Scranton where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B. A. in English. It was during this time that he was awakened to the exquisite art of literature and has continued to read widely throughout his life and has a vast knowledge of the literary arts. He also returned to education and received an M. A. in Psychology with distinction from Rider University. After retire-ment, Jack contacted a biographer of Jack Kerouac, Paul Maher, and assisted him in researching the works and life of this powerful and often misunderstood 20th century American author. Sillery’s writings on this subject appeared in a number of Maher’s books and essays. Because of his association with Maher, Sillery was grant-ed access to Kerouac’s personal journals which are housed in The Berg Reading Room at the Public Library in New York City. By studying Kerouac’s journals Sillery garnered extensive knowledge not only about the author’s writings, but also concerning the man himself and how he coped with becoming a public icon. The insights Jack Sillery gained from this experience is what he would like to share with a class at Delaware Valley University. [email protected], 215.489.0208.
206 Pharology12:15-1:30 p.m., Spring I termDid you ever wonder what living on a remote lighthouse was like?

RANDY ALKINS was a lighthouse keeper for two years during the 1970s, tending to the light and struc-ture for the United States Coast Guard. He lived on Brandywine Shoal Lighthouse and Fourteen Foot Bank Lighthouse in the Delaware Bay. Randy holds a B.A. and an MBA from Temple University. [email protected], 215.343.2785.
207 Finding Abundance in the Sonnet’s “Scanty Plot of Ground”12:15-1:30 p.m. Spring II termMany of us associate the sonnet with Shakespeare, but it remains an enduring poetic form that is re-invented with each new generation. In this course, we will examine how such a short poem with strict formal constraints continues to lend itself to some of the most vital and creative expressions in literature. Love, political dissent, the nature of the sonnet itself: all these and many more are the topics we will explore as we enjoy reading sonnets from the 16th century to the present.
MARY GOLDSCHMIDT taught poetry at the college level for 30 years, and now continues in semi-retire-ment to enjoy teaching locally. She has a B.A. from La Salle University and a Ph.D. from Emory University. [email protected], 201.312.5191.

501 The Bible: What They Didn’t Tell You in Sunday School9:25-10:40 a.m., Spring semesterMost of us are familiar or think we are familiar with the Bible and its mythic stories. This course will be divided into two halves. The first half will cover Tanakh (the Old Testament) while the second will draw from the New Testament. Each portion includes various academic approaches drawn from many disciplines. One goal is to ab-stract what various disciplines can tell us about the Bible, its evolution and its background. Another goal is some insight into the methods, beliefs and tactics of the Biblical writers and editors. The material will be illustrated by various archaeological discoveries in the Middle East and explanation of the technology behind them. Because academic work is often perceived as detracting from the Bible, we will balance our discussions by developing an appreciation for the beauty and power of the stories and language through selected readings. Each reading will be followed by a short class interpretation. If you can read in a language other than English so much the better. Some philosophical thinking related to the Bible will also be discussed.
