Winter 2010 Courses Jan. 21- Feb. 26

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at The University of Montana (MOLLI) is pleased to sponsor programs that promote the life-long learning and personal growth of older adults. We are looking for those +50 indi-viduals who are curious and love to learn.

Our goal is to create an accessible and in-novative learning environment so that older

adults from all backgrounds and levels of educa-tion may pursue learning. Neither exams nor grades are

given, so it is truly learning for learning’s sake.

MOLLI courses expose learners to Montana’s best teachers, in-cluding emeritus and current faculty, as well as professionals from the community. Program offerings include lectures, ongoing discus-sions, short courses, field trips, and interest groups that cover top-ics from the humanities to sciences and the arts, as well as com-munity and regional issues.

Jon JacksonThe Crime Novel on FilmNew Years Eve, 3:00 pm-3:45 pm: Todd Bldg.-UMOne of the most popular and influential kinds of stories in the past 70 years has been the detective or crime story. It’s no coincidence that this period also includes the rise of the motion picture as a cultural factor. But telling a story in print is much different from telling it on celluloid. This lecture addresses famous stories such as The Maltese Falcon, Little Caesar, Chinatown, and Prizzi’s Honor.About the Instructor: Jon Jackson is the author of 11 novels. He has written articles on food, golf, fishing and literature. Jon is a graduate of UM (BA-1970) and the University of Iowa (MFA –1973).

Mark Johnson & Sally CumminsBeing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Inside Today’s IranNew Years Eve, 4:00 pm-4:45 pm: Todd Bldg.-UMThe nuclear crisis in Iran has attracted the world’s attention. For thirty years the governments of the US and Iran have viewed each other with suspicion and animosity. Mark Johnson and Sally Cummins have just returned from a six week visit across Iran. They spoke with dozens of Iranian citizens in many cities and villages. Find out what is happening behind the scenes and what Iranians really think of Americans. About the Instructors: Mark Johnson is a thirty year veteran of the US Foreign Service, with post-ings in the Middle East. From 1978-81, he was a member of the Iran working group in the US State Department, ne-gotiating the Iranian hostage crisis. He is the founder of the Montana World Af-fairs Council. Sally Cummins recently retired from the Office of the Legal Adviser in the US State Department where she was editor of the Digest of US Practice in Interna-tional Law. In the 1980’s she negotiated with the Iranian government at the Ira-nian Claims Tribunal at The Hague.

Thursday Courses Jan. 21-Feb. 25 Kenneth Lockridge The Deerfield Massacre, 1704: Indians and Europeans on a Deadly FrontierThursday, 9:00 am-10:30 am: Todd Bldg-UMText: Captors & Captives: The 1704 French & Indian Raid on Deerfield by Evan Haefeli & Kevin SweeneyOn a winter night in 1704, a combined Indian and French force attacked the frontier town of Deerfield, Massachusetts, capturing or killing scores of the townspeople. The Indians took their captives hundreds of miles to Canada, where they were tortured, adopted or ransomed. Many of the ransomed returned to their families only years later. In a sense, the “Deerfield Massacre” was just one episode in a long confrontation of Native Americans defending their country. But simultaneously, it was an element in a worldwide contest between the French and British em-pires. This class will read and discuss Captors and Captives, by Evan Haefeli and Kevin Sweeny, which depicts with a terrible compassion the suffering and losses of all sides, as the wheels of history ground everyone to bits.About the Instructor: Kenneth Lockridge is a Professor of History at UM. After training at the University of Michigan, he came to the Univer-sity of Montana in 1991, where he has won an award for his teaching from the Golden Key Honor Society. He has gained national recognition for pioneering a new kind of “local” history that focuses on small towns and their people. He enjoys vigorous discussions with mature students who read with curiosity and care.

Fred McGlynn Samuel Beckett: Revolutionary DramatistThursday, 9:00 am-10:30 am: Todd Bldg-UMText: Krapp’s Last Tape, Waiting for Godot, & Endgame, by Samuel BeckettThis course will examine three renowned plays by Nobel Prize-Winning dramatist Samuel Beckett: Krapp’s Last Tape, Waiting for Godot, and Endgame. We will read and discuss the plays, but also examine their impact on modern theater, particularly the theater of the 1950’s and the

MOLLI Winter 2010 CoursesJan. 21-Feb. 26 [unless otherwise noted]

Thursday Courses Jan. 21-Feb. 25

controversies surrounding the theater of the absurd. About the Instructor: Fred McGlynn is a retired professor of philosophy whose special interests are phenomenology, existentialism, and aesthet-ics. He also trained as an actor and participated in many UM drama pro-ductions. He has a lifelong interest in the work of Samuel Beckett, having taught courses on Beckett’s trilogy of novels and his major dramas. Pro-fessor McGlynn has also acted in Krapp’s Last Tape and played Hamm in Endgame.

Ray RishoCulinary Culture IIThursday, 11:00 am-12:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMIn Culinary Culture II Ray Risho continues to explore the importance of cuisine as a defining “cultural imprint.” He will cover such fascinating top-ics as an introduction to wine essentials; cooking mediums, especially ol-ive oil and butter; sauces and stocks; condiments and flavorings. Ray will also share his knowledge of global cuisine, delving into subjective recipe analysis and interpretation, menu design and balance, and the art of mis en place (where cuisine begins.) The class concludes with a cooking dem-onstration based on techniques discussed in preceding lectures. This class builds on Culinary Culture I, but taking that class is not a prerequisite to Culinary Culture II. About the Instructor: Ray Risho is a retired restaurateur, founder of the celebrated Perugia Restaurant, and an independent scholar and chef who has spent a lifetime studying global cuisine. Mr. Risho has presented more than ninety popular teaching dinners, an original concept titled “Ports of Call,” featuring classic menus from around the world. He gives workshops and cooking demonstrations at Missoula’s Good Food Store. The Mis-soula Cultural Council, in May 2008, awarded Ray and his wife Susie the 2008 Cultural Achievement Award for supporting the arts and enhancing the quality of life in Missoula.

Thursday Courses continuedDiane Burrell A Mathematical SamplerThursday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMModern mathematics goes well beyond arithmetic and equations. Each week we will explore a different topic, ranging from the practical (What is the fuss about statistical sampling and the census?) to the esoteric (Can we really imagine multiple infinities or a fourth dimension?). This intriguing class assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics beyond a curiosity about how mathematical concepts are used in our everyday lives.About the Instructor: Diane Burrell has published numerous articles during her 30 year career as a mathematics teacher in Missoula. In addition, she has participated in many curriculum development projects during her career. She was a recipient of the Montana Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics and was twice named a Tandy Outstanding Teacher. Since retiring from active teaching she has written curriculum materials and has served as a math consultant and trainer.

Jim Sieg Fist Fights and First Kisses: Rites of Passage in LiteratureThursday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMText: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Huck-leberry Finn by Mark Twain, & Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo AnayaIn this class we will read and discuss four novels featuring young pro-tagonists. Two feature female heroines, Stargirl and To Kill a Mocking-bird; two represent the male perspective, Huckleberry Finn and Bless Me, Ultima. Simultaneously, we will explore ideas and theories put forth by psychologists and anthropologists who write about rites of passage. We will also revisit our own adolescence and compare and contrast our histories with the fictional characters encountered. Ultimately, we hope to have fun with contemporary and iconic novels while gaining a greater insight into the teenage years in America. About the Instructor: Jim Sieg has taught high school and college English during a career spanning forty years. He received his Master’s Degree from University of California Irvine and his PhD. from the New York University. His dissertation focused on Hispanic gang members and the manner in which they read novels. Jim has written a novel about a Chicano gang member whose life is transformed as his literacy grows. Jim and his wife Sandy have lived in the Bitterroot Valley in Stevensville for seven years. They are both active with Historic St. Mary’s Mission where Jim leads educational tours for visitors and Montana students.

Thursday Courses continued

Kermit EdmondsTragedies of ‘Manifest Destiny’: The Big Horn and Yellowstone Expedition of 1876 against the Sioux & Cheyenne, and the Nez Perce Campaign of 1877Thursday, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm: Todd BldgThe Little Big Horn Battlefield and the Big Hole Battlefield are powerful and painful sites in our Montana. They are key locations in two cam-paigns that attempted to force Native American groups onto the con-fines of Reservations. We will examine the underlying causes for their desperate lunges to freedom and a return to their “old ways.” Using photographs and actual artifacts such as cartridge cases and arrow-heads, finger rings, clothing and items of personal adornment, as well as forensic examination of human remains, we will explore the impact of these two major campaigns on both sides. About the Instructor: Kermit Edmonds retired after 30 years as a his-tory teacher at Hellgate High School. During the summers, he served as a National Park Service Ranger Historian and Curator at such places as Fort Laramie, Big Hole National Battlefield, and Sitka, Alaska. He also served as an historian for Montana Army National Guard with ser-vice in both Korea and Desert Storm. He serves as a consultant to state and Federal agencies and private archeological firms on the material culture of the US military between 1850 and 1910. He holds a BA in history from California State University and did graduate work at the University of Colorado.

Dan SpencerIs God Green? Looking at Religion, Nature and the EnvironmentThursday, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMThis course examines a world-wide movement in various faith traditions whose practitioners seek to invest religion with concern for the envi-ronment. Together we will explore how diverse religious traditions are responding to the ecological crisis, keeping in mind the powerful role religion can play in shaping everyday habits and in addressing moral issues regarding the earth and our environments. We will examine how these questions have been addressed and informed by Native American religious traditions, Judaism and Biblical traditions, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. About the Instructor: Dan Spencer, an Associate Professor of Envi-ronmental Studies, has taught at The University of Montana since 2002. His areas of teaching and research interest include ecological ethics, ethical issues in ecological restoration, religion and ecology, globaliza-tion, justice, and environmental issues in Latin America. Born and raised in California, Dan received his BA in Geology, from Carleton College, Minnesota in 1979, and his Masters (1983) and Ph.D. (1994) in Environ-mental Ethics from Union Theological Seminary, New York.

A cultural crossroads in the heart of Cen-tral Asia, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region occupies one-sixth of China’s total area. Its topography ranges from arid desert to snow-capped mountains. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources and home to more than 50 nationalities. From antiquity to the present it has been the site of complex cultural interactions and political and military confrontation. In July 2009 clashes between Uyghurs and Han (Chinese) in its capital city left more than 200 dead and many more injured. How is Xinjiang like Montana? Come and find out!About the Instructor: Steven Levine, Associate Director of the Mans-field Center at UM, is a student of East Asian politics and International Relations with a Ph.D. from Harvard (1972) in Government & Far Eastern Languages. He has published extensively and translated books from Chi-nese and Russian. In the summer of 2009, he traveled widely in Xinjiang, an area that has experienced a great deal of recent unrest.

Marilyn Bruya Color Mixing and CritiqueFriday, 9:00 am-12:00 pm: Dickinson Center-MissoulaCourse fee: $65.00 to cover the cost of bulk supplies This course will appeal to both beginning and more advanced students. The first class is an introduction and review of color mixing basics for all participants. The second and subsequent classes will begin with a group discussion/critique of work done between classes by all participants. The remainder of class time will be devoted to one-on-one instruction with be-ginning students and prior students wishing review. The class will accom-modate former students who wish to work entirely at home on their own projects and who wish to attend for class critique only, as well as first time students. It will make for a lively experience for all!About the Instructor: Marilyn Bruya, Emeritus Professor of Art, received an MA in Painting from Mills College in CA and an MFA in Painting from Bard College in NY.

Hal Stearns Big Sky Country: Some Favorite Memories and ReflectionsFriday, 10:00 am-11:30 amLocation: 2nd floor, The Springs Retirement Community-MissoulaWhy do we love the “magic” that is Montana? We live on a land that grabs us and just won’t let go. We admire the rugged, persistent, hard-working folks that made and make this place. We are fascinated with our relatively short but rich history. The vastness of the landscape, the gripping stories of adventure and the heroes and villains captivate us. The tales and trails from Alzada to Yaak and Monida to Westby will “hook” us even more in appreciating our special homeland: Montana. Hal Stearns will share the colorful and romantic and sometimes tragic sides of the past and present of our beloved Big Sky. Geography and climate, economics and politics, commentary, history, humor, headline makers and common folk all weave together in our special story. About the Instructor: Hal Stearns, a native of Harlowton with genera-tions of ranchers, homesteaders and newsmen in his family, holds a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame and an M.A. and doctorate from UM. He taught for 34 years in Germany, at Sentinel High School and UM. Honored as Montana’s Teacher of the Year and Outstanding U.S. History Teacher, he was the recipient of two National Endowment of the Humanities grants and was a Keizai Koho Fellow to Japan. He also served in the Montana Army National Guard for 35 years, attaining the rank of Brigadier General.

Mark JohnsonObama and the Middle East: Between Aretha Franklin and CaligulaFriday, 11:00 am-12:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMPresident Barack Obama confronts some of the most serious challenges in the Middle East ever faced by a modern American president: continu-ing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a recalcitrant Iran, mounting tensions between Israel and Palestine, global terrorism, and a dependency on Middle East oil. How should he respond to these challenges? What are his options? And, why does it matter to Montanans? Our discussions will examine these issues and possible policy responses.About the Instructor: Mark Johnson is a former Senior United States diplomat who served throughout the Middle East. He has also been the ambassador to Senegal. He is the founder of the Montana World Affairs Council. Mark Johnson has traveled and lectured throughout the Middle East, including a recent six week trip to Iran.

Dorothy Patent Writing the Story from Start to FinishFriday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMIf you want to share your ideas or experiences, tell a story. Stories can be either fiction or nonfiction, and any topic will appeal best to readers when told in story form. If you want to write a story but don’t know where to begin or how to get from a compelling beginning to a satisfy-ing conclusion, this class is for you. We’ll discuss the basic structure of the story, the techniques a writer can use to carry the story forward in page-turning fashion, and the methods that can bring about an end-ing that ties it all together and makes the reader want more from the writer. We’ll do exercises in class, and suggestions will be given for optional homeworkAbout the Instructor: Dorothy Patent has written more than 130 non-fiction books for children as well as stories for more than a dozen maga-zines. Her awards include the Washington Post/Children’s Book Guild Award for Nonfiction. She has also coauthored three books for adults.

Greg PatentChemistry in the KitchenFriday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMThis course is for everyone and anyone who cooks. Knowing how and why a recipe works can help you become master of your kitchen domain. Have you ever wondered why sometimes a green vegetable stays green during cooking but other times turns an unappealing olive drab color? Or why the meat didn’t brown when you wanted it to? And just why did that cake fall when it wasn’t supposed to? Join Greg Pat-ent in a culinary journey as he explores these and many other fasci-nating kitchen mysteries.About the Instructor: Greg Patent is a curious cook who loves in-vestigating the mysteries of the kitchen. His Ph.D. in science served him well in helping him solve much culinary puzzlement. Greg has written extensively on food for many national food magazines and is the author of nine cookbooks and winner of the James Beard award for Baking in America. His regular columns for the Missoulian and mis-soula.com magazine have developed a large following.

Robin Patten Montana: Landscapes and LiteratureFriday, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm Todd Bldg-UMNote: late start date Jan. 29-Mar. 5Montana is blessed with a diversity of landscapes, from vast plains to high mountain peaks. These varied topographies have served to not only support a diverse population, but also to inspire writers across the centuries. This course will explore Montana’s landscapes and their in-habitants through works by authors spanning the decades, with topics to include the Explorer’s Landscape, the Sublime Landscape, the Work-ing Landscape, and the Mythic Landscape. Examining readings through both lecture and discussion, participants will gain an understanding of the geography and history of Montana and discover how literature both shaped and was shaped by the interaction of people with the state’s diverse and expansive topography.About the Instructor: Robin Patten developed an attachment to the land through a lifetime of exploring her Montana home. A Ph.D. in ecol-ogy and graduate work in environmental writing, cultural geography, and environmental history has provided her with an interdisciplinary perspective on landscapes, and an on-going curiosity about how the Montana landscape has been explored, both physically and through the written word. She teaches Environmental Writing in UM’s Environmen-tal Studies department.

Mark MatthewsPromenading toward Democracy: How the Square Dance Reflected American Ideals and CommunityFriday, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm: Todd Bldg-UMFor centuries, community dancing functioned as the primary sources of social capital in America, bringing together people from many back-grounds. The popularity of dances such as squares and contras didn’t ebb until the 1880s with the arrival of the waltz. As the 1910s introduced jazz dancing, community-oriented dances all but disappeared from the urban landscape. Yet, after America’s victory in World War II, a square dance craze enveloped the country. This course will study the fluctuat-ing popularity of the dance while unveiling its many mysteries, such as its Puritan roots; its connection with sin; the manner in which patriots projected the dance as an emblem for democracy; how standardization strangled the dance; and who dances today—and why.About the Instructor: With degrees in journalism and creative writing, Mark Matthews has worked for more than fifteen years a freelance cor-respondent for many national publications. Last fall, he started teach-ing writing at UM’s College of Technology. The University of Oklahoma Press has also published two works of nonfiction by Mark. His two latest manuscripts, covering the history of social dancing in the United States, are under consideration by the University of Massachusetts Press. Mark not only researches the history of dance, he also teaches and calls old-time community-based country dances across the country.

In June 2009, MOLLI hosted our first summer camp: Grandparents and Grand-kids: Connecting the Circle. Thirty-two learning teams consisting of one adult and one child came together for two days of fun and learning. The first day started with G.Wiz Magic of Chemistry. Participants ate Cheetos straight from a vat of Liquid Nitrogen and exploded a volcano with flames shooting 4 feet in the air! Monte was on hand to cheer on the participants, after which they went to class to learn more about bees, fossils, stars, and the science of motion with puppets and robots. On the second day participants engaged in field experiences.

A special thanks goes to EPSCoR for their grant funding of the summer camp and SpectrUM for their great support and dedication to science learning. Also, thanks to the professors and their assistants for sharing their knowledge with the participants and for making this camp memorable for all!
