The Folk Singers and the Bureau, Part II

2/11, 12 and 13

Aaron Leonard, Writer and Historian

The most prominent folk singers of the 20th century, Woody Guthrie, “Sis” Cunningham, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, and Burl Ives, were also political activists with various associations with the American Communist Party. As a consequence, the FBI, along with other governmental and right-wing organizations, were monitoring them. Using music, video, news clippings and records from extensive Freedom of Information Act filings, including never-before-released material, this lecture will bring to life these artists and the systematic way they were subjected to government surveillance and suppression.

Garden Writing, Gardening Philosophies and the Robb Garden

2/18 , 19 and 20

Dr. Patty A. Gray, Pacific Garden Program Director, San Joaquin County Master Gardener

University of the Pacific has no agriculture or horticulture program, and yet it has an edible campus garden: the Ted & Chris Robb Garden. How did this come to be? This lecture explores the history behind the Robb Garden and the fascinating genealogy of the gardening philosophies that inform the way it is tended. The story traces a pathway from biointensive gardening in Europe to organic gardening in California. Along the way, we explore some classics of garden writing and a growing revival of both edible gardening and literary garden writing that plays an important role in reconnecting people with the soil that sustains us.

Memory in Context

2/25 and 27 No Lecture 2/26

Dr. Carla Strickland-Hughes, Assistant Professor Psychology

Many of us have unrealistically low expectations of our abilities as we get older. One of the factors that erodes our confidence and prevents us from realizing our full potential is the fear that something is happening to our memory. This lecture is based on psychological research into memory and aging, which shows that memory is not a single entity. Instead it consists of many functions. Some change with age. Further, memory successes (and failures) are determined by many individual and contextual factors unrelated to aging. Future Technology v2019

3/4, 5 and 6David Diskin, Certified Microsoft Office Master

Nearly seven years ago David lectured to OLLI members on what Future Technology would bring us—from entertainment to healthcare—starting with a look at the then-released Windows 8. Which predictions were accurate, and which were entirely wrong? And what does the new future of technology have in store for us for the next seven years?

Japanese American Soldiers in the Second World War

3/11, 12 and 13George Yagi, Professor at S.J. Delta College and Pacific

During the Second World War, thousands of Americans were wrongfully imprisoned behind barbed wire because they were of Japanese descent. Whole livelihoods were wiped out with the movement of a pen and the signing of Executive Order 9066. Despite this hardship, a number of young men still volunteered to prove their loyalty to a country that had turned its back on

them. This lecture series will follow their journey from the outbreak of the war through the harsh battlefields of Europe.

Metropolis Lost

3/18, 19 and 20Philip Merlo, Director of Education for the San Joaquin County Historical Society and Museum

In 1937, Forbes listed Stockton as one of the most important communities nation-wide in leading the economy out of the Great Depression. Its position as the dominant logistics hub on the West Coast and as a major center of manufacturing and agriculture was unquestioned in the national conversation. By 2008, the same magazine listed Stockton as “the most miserable.” This course will show how shortsighted local, state and federal policies segregated communities, decimated Stockton’s once internationally lauded educational system and left the city government incapable of effective governance in the face of massive immigration pressures, aging municipal infrastructure and ingrained systems of poverty.

Never a Burnt Bridge

3/25, 26 and 27Sylvia Sun Minnick, Historian

An abandoned infant raised as a refugee in Japanese-occupied Malaya during World War II, Sylvia Sun Minnick is united with her parents after the war, but she is unable to understand if being the “third” daughter was the reason for her parents’ mistreatment of her. Minnick is rescued and brought to San Francisco by her maternal grandmother. A survivor, Minnick met challenges with ‘true grit’ and resourcefulness. She is a noted public historian of Chinese Americans in California’s Central Valley. This is a memoir of self-preservation, hardship and sorrow. Yet, it is a story of a person with indomitable spirit.

LECTURES ContinuedWar, Peace and Religion

4/1, 2 and 3Rex Hamilton, Professor of General Education and Religious Studies

All world religions proclaim peace, yet all have also justified violence. This lecture will examine the way Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism have explained this tension. It will include some history, some analysis of doctrine and ethics, and will conclude with some contemporary examples of how these faith traditions have engaged the matter of war and peace in the contemporary world.

Activism in the Making: Feminism and the Female Artist

4/8, 9 and 10Lisa Cooperman, University Curator

“Why have there been no great women artists?” critic Linda Nochlin asked the art world in a 1971 essay. Art’s history acknowledges that “great” artists owed their acheivement not only to talent but also to training and patronage, which were largely denied to women. This talk looks at how female (and self-identified female) artists achieved success in spite of obstacles and are still hard at work demolishing these barriers.

Costume! The Visual Necessity of Opera

4/15, 16 and 17Renata Bricka, MA in Fine Arts, Art History, History and Costume Designer

This lecture will look at the meaning and complexity of an opera costume. This includes looking at the production’s practical aspects of design stages and discussing the importance of selecting the fitting line, silhouette, volume, color and style for characters’ costumes. Plus, take an insider’s look at what happens backstage from someone who has 23 years of experience in the opera.

The World and Trump’s Global Policy Revisions, Part I

4/22, 23 and 24Gene Bigler, Retired Visiting Professor

This lecture series will explore some of the major innovations in U.S. policy and the response to the changes from within the U.S. and by the international community. The first lecture will concentrate on climate change, including the latest evidence about the global debate over appropriate responses to the challenge and actions by other major actors on the world stage.

The World and Trump’s Global Policy Revisions, Part II

4/29, 30 and 5/1Gene Bigler, Retired Visiting Professor

This second lecture will focus on trade policy, emphasizing the revision of the North American Free Trade Agreement, nuclear policy, especially the INF Treaty and North Korea and the approach to non-proliferation, and the overall approach to the global community.

Behind the Motown Sound

5/6, 7 and 8Keith Hatschek, Program Director for Music Management and Music Industry Studies

During its heyday from 1959-1972, Detroit-based Motown Records became the most successful independent record label in American history. Featuring artists such as The Supremes, Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Martha and the Vandellas, Marvin Gaye and the Jackson 5, Motown’s music became the soundtrack for a generation. This presentation will explore Motown’s unique songwriting, recording and music production processes, along with the pioneering studio recording techniques and equipment that were developed by their in-house engineering team.

What Do We Really Know About Grit?

5/13, 14 and 15Christine Collaço, Pacific Communication Visiting Professor

School districts across the United States are reportedly considering “teaching grit” into their curricula. However, there are some who see grit as nothing more than something old packaged as something new. Get ready to learn about grit—its factor structure, its predictive validity with college success and its relation to interest, self-efficacy, locus of control and conscientiousness.

The Last Speech: JFK at Amherst

Mon 5/20Janet Leigh Theatre Only

Robert Benedetti, Professor Emeritus

JFK The Last Speech explores the dramatic relationship between two seminal Americans—President John F. Kennedy and the poet Robert Frost—which reached its tragic climax in a surprising encounter with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War. Born out of these events is Kennedy’s remarkable speech about poetry and power, which altered the life course of a group of Amherst college classmates.

John Mackay and Mark Twain, Mining and Literary Titans of the Comstock Lode, a Unique FriendshipPart I & II Thu 5/23 and 30Janet Leigh Theatre Only

Douglas Borchert, J.D., SBC, underwriting counsel, columnist

John Mackay would rise from his birth in Ireland to be one of the wealthiest men in the world. While he was superintendent at the Bullion Mine in Virginia City, Mackay would meet a neophyte reporter named Samuel Clemens. Clemens would take on the pen name Mark Twain at the paper and become known as America’s most unique literary voice. Mr. Borchert will explore what brought the two men together and kept them friends once they left the small Nevada mining town and stepped on to the world stage.

It’s About Time! Join us for an intimate presentation by Peter Jaffe Music Director and Conductor,Stockton SymphonySunday, March 10, 20192 – 4 pm

Presidents Room, Anderson Hall,Pacific Campus

OLLI Members – $10Non-members – $15

Have you noticed how we respond much differently to the driving rhythms of a popular song than to the gentle sway of a waltz? Sure, the styles are completely different—the two examples could even come from different centuries. But we can also compare pieces by noticing how musical time is organized.

Maestro Peter Jaffe explores how symphonic composers incorporate aspects of time in their masterpieces, playing examples from a fascinating cross-section of the orchestral repertoire. Along the way, Jaffe will discuss the Stockton Symphony’s 92-year history, the current season and some of the elements that go into the making of a professional orchestra.
