A Message from Dean McNutt 

College of Extended and International Education, CSUDH 

By now, many OLLI Members have heard me 

use the phrase, “The College of Extended 

and International Education is all about K-80 

Education.” It’s a play on the term, K-12 or K-16 

education. What I mean by that is CEIE provides 

a learning continuum, whether a summer 

reading program for kindergarteners, a project management 

training program for adult learners looking to advance at work or 

OLLI Members reading a play or playing social tennis for seniors. 

Going forward, I will use the term, “K-100 education” and here’s 

why. I was asked to make opening remarks at our fall Osher 

Life Long Learning Institute (OLLI) Open House. The Extended 

Education auditorium was filled with new and continuing 

members. After describing the 50 academic, continuing and 

lifelong learning courses we have in our portfolio, I said how 

much I believe in K-80 education. After my brief talk, a Member 

came to me and said, “Dean McNutt, I take umbrage with your 

remarks about K-80 learning.” I was taken aback by her comment 

and thought she might even be joking with me, but she was not. 

“You should know,” she said, “I am 95 years of age, and I am still 

learning through OLLI classes at CSUDH.” Much to my chagrin, 

I discovered we have several OLLI and Omnilore Members in their 

90’s who are engaged in active learning. So next time you hear 

me talk about the depth and breadth of our membership and the 

myriad opportunities we have for continuous learning, listen for 

the phrase, “The College of Extended and International Education 

is all about K-100 Education.” 

With that in mind, be sure to pick up your own copy of the 

OLLI Fall course catalog. There are at least 23 new programs and 

topics for your consideration. 

Finally, I’d like to thank all the donors who contributed to our 

Membership campaign this year. OLLI cannot thrive without 

donors, dedicated volunteers, staff, Extended Education and 

CSUDH. We look forward to another great Fall of exciting 

programming. See you around campus!

Scout, and her brother, Jeremy are raised by their 

widowed father, Atticus Finch, a prominent lawyer 

who encourages his children to be empathetic and 

just. The story is about Atticus defending a black 

man accused of raping a white woman. Scout

committed the crime. 

Some Like It Hot screenplay by Billy Wilder 

October 9, 16 

After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone 

player Joe, and his long-suffering buddy Jerry, 

improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago 

with new lives. Disguising themselves as women, 

they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train 

to sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win over 

the band’s sexy singer Sugar, Jerry finds himself pursued by a real 

millionaire as things heat up and the mobsters close in. Great fun! 

The Verdict by Sydney Lumet, 

based on a novel by Barry Reed 

November 6, 13 

Frank Galvin is a washed-up alcoholic lawyer, 

reduced to ambulance-chasing cases. He is given 

one last chance to redeem himself with an open 

and shut malpractice case against the Boston 

medical establishment. He refuses an out-of-court settlement, 

believing it is negligence that has left a young mother in a coma. 

Smelling a cover-up, he takes the case and the entire legal system 

to court.

The Wonderful African, Japanese, 

and Folk Influences on Modern Art 

to That? ⊲ 

Did You Ever Wonder How Art 

⊳ Went from This 

Come and learn about all the wonderful cultural influences 

of African sculpture, Japanese art, and folk art on European, 

American, and African American Modern art. See how these 

cultural influences changed how artists approached figuration, 

perspective, form, and color. European artists created new forms 

of art and became the avant-garde modern artists of the art 

world. Americans were also inspired to invent totally new forms of 

Modern art. See how African American artist, Aaron Douglas, was 

inspired by African sculpture to create abstract murals at historically 

black colleges. Join art historian, Bridgitte Montgomery, and see her 

Power Point presentation on the variety of cultural influences that 

inspired Impressionism, abstract art, and modern art in Europe 

and America.

Once you have some basic 

knowledge on folding, it’s a 

very easy and affordable craft 

with minimal supplies. 

It is a craft for both men and women. Yolanda will show you 

samples of books with only folded pages, and some cut and 

folded book pages which are more intricate. You may add a bit of 

scrapbooking to finish off the book (this is optional). 

Most materials will be provided. Additional materials needed for 

the following class will be announced at the class meeting.

studying in the United States. The potluck brings a mixture of 

traditional Thanksgiving foods and foods that represent individual 

cultures and family heritage. The event shows students that they 

have support on campus and teaches them about the diversity

Social Tennis for Seniors 

The game of tennis is a lifetime sport. Now is the opportune time 

to join our class. We are a group with many different attributes 

who enjoy a moderate level of physical activity. The tennis class has 

wonderful health benefits; just to name a couple; fun and social 

interaction. We participate in medium stretching and warm-up 

exercises. Instructions are easy. We gain knowledge of tennis rules 

and tennis etiquette. We continue to learn the essentials of tennis, 

beginning with the classic grip, forehand, backhand, serve, volley, 

topspin, drop shot and doubles play. 

To get started bring a tennis racket, wear tennis shoes and bring 

sunglasses, hat, small towel, and water. Class meets for 26 sessions 

and will remain available four additional weeks for practice. 

Note: OLLI Members are required to sign a waiver 

at first class session. 



Could U.S. Healthcare Become the 

Best in the World? 

Getting to first from last is not an easy task. Confounding our high 

cost, dysfunctional healthcare is economic inequality (income, pay 

and wealth). We can learn a lot from other high-income countries 

who have universal healthcare and are more equalitarian. 

Major issues that must be addressed: 

• Employer health insurance 

(EHI). Origin of high cost. 

Unique to the U.S. 

• Lack of government 

decision making and 

decision makers entity for 

all healthcare prices. 

• Untamed capitalism – 

found in the behavior of 

insurers and providers. 

NEW! 

• Use of 3rd party administrators 

that don’t take the RISK and can 

perpetuate fraud and waste. 

• Inability to curb Big Ag and Big 

Food from putting unhealthy 

food on the table. 

• Wage stagnation, a high 

poverty and obesity rate, 

Rich US is low on the 

happiness scale.

9-Year OLLI and Omnilore Member

EE-1218 




We need leaders (elections coming up!) who understand why 

other high-income countries do not have total government control 

and payment but do assure everyone receives quality healthcare. 

So, arm yourself with the facts, the math and realize we do have 

the resources to build a bona fide healthcare system to move from 

last (at least closer) to first in Health and Wellness and equality. 

Caregivers: the Heart and 

Lifeline of the Family 

NEW! 

Caregiving is a labor of love and sometimes the labor load is heavy. 

Besides your own immediate family, you may find yourself caring 

for a parent or relative who can no longer live alone. This workshop 

will help caregivers deal with two of the major obstacles in 

giving care: doctor appointments and medications. 

Presenter Angela McGowan is a Patient Advocate and Caregiver 

Strategist, as well as the author of the new book, How to Get Out 

of The Hospital ALIVE! She invites you to engage your feelings and 

fears about suddenly being a caregiver, and obtain tips and ways 

to navigate through healthcare’s sea of red tape. Learn to create 

strategies for giving excellent care to others, as you care for 

yourself as well.

Adaptation 

Aging Gracefully and Gratefully 

Aging is inevitable. As we study and examine what the experts 

have to say about aging, we learn from each other by sharing our 

individual experiences. Attitudes, decisions, choices and acceptance 

are guidelines that assist us on this road called “aging.” Class 

participants are encouraged to suggest additional aging issues that 

are affecting them. We will discuss and explore various concepts, 

share techniques and consider how to age “gracefully and 

gratefully.”

HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE 

Pearl Harbor Reconsidered 

Seventy-eight years ago, United States military personnel and 

civilians were “suddenly and deliberately attacked” by Japanese 

forces at Pearl Harbor, leaving more than 2400 people killed and 

nearly 1200 people 

wounded. 

The consequences 

of that action 

continue to 

reverberate in 

our nation today. 

Through historic 

and recently 

declassified 

information, 

you will explore 

what was actually happening in Washington, Tokyo, and Oahu, in 

the months, weeks, and days before the attack. What you discover 

in this course will shock you and may change your view of history. 

Videos and historic images accompany the lectures to bring to life 

this powerful event and generate lively discussions. 

A reconsideration of the events leading up to and including the 

attack on Pearl Harbor and its aftermath on Asia and Greater

Local Republic of the Congo 

activist Olga Duchemin speaks 

to the United Nations 

NEW! 

Olga Duchemin is a political activist originally from the Republic of 

the Congo, (AKA Congo-Brazzaville, AKA West Congo) located 

on the western coast of Central Africa. Ms. Duchemin grew up in 

France and currently resides in California. She will speak on the 

eroding democratic institutions, economic instability, corruption 

and abuses of power perpetuated by the current president Denis 

Sassou Nguesso. 

Ms. Duchemin was invited by the Human Rights division of the 

United Nations to address the state of affairs in the Republic of the 

Congo. The United Nations has since studied and compiled a report 

in order to expose these abuses. 



Cruise to the North Pole & 

Chasing a Total Solar Eclipse 

In the summer of 2008 a group of polar adventurers and eclipse 

chasers boarded Russia’s largest and newest nuclear-powered 

icebreaker Fifty Years of Victory. This unique cruise started in 

Murmansk, broke ice in the Arctic Ocean, stopped at the North 

Pole for festive celebrations, then went on to the remote Franz 

Josef archipelago for various shore landings. Numerous species of 

arctic birds and polar bears were seen along the way. Lastly, the 

ship dashed to the distant coastline of Novaya Zemlaya where a 

total solar eclipse was witnessed. 

Rich Abele is a veteran of numerous trips to the Arctic and 

Antarctic including the South Pole. He will take you on a 

photographic and oral journey across the Arctic Ocean where he 

encountered huge icebergs and miles of pack ice enroute to the 

North Pole. After celebrating at “the top of the world,” the ship 

made landings on remote islands in Franz Josef Land by helicopter 

where abandoned explorer camps and research stations were 

visited. Numerous polar bears, walruses and various species of 

arctic birds were also sighted. 

Please join us and find out how icebreakers are reaching the 

North Pole and other remote destinations in Russia’s high Arctic 

regions. This is an OLLI Special Event presentation you will 

not want to miss.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE 

How to Build a Dividend Portfolio 

NEW! 

Safe, fixed, and conservative investments have yielded low 

rates for the past 30 plus years causing investors to search high 

and low for income. Fear of stock market volatility have made 

dividend paying portfolios an attractive strategy. What is a dividend 

portfolio? This workshop will answer this question, present the 

pros/cons of owning dividend paying investments, and show you 

how to build one from scratch. We’ll also discuss tax efficient 

methods of managing income distributions such as asset location, 

dividend reinvestment plans, and tax-free accounts. Attendees 

should have a better idea of the suitability of adding these incomeproducing 

assets to their portfolios.

Blanche on the Lam by Barbara Neely 

Blanche White is a feisty, middle-aged African-American 

housekeeper working for the genteel rich in North Carolina. 

When an employer stiffs her, and her checks bounce, she goes on 

the lam, hiding out as a maid for a wealthy family at their summer 

home. Her plan is interrupted when she becomes the prime suspect 

in a murder investigation. Her sharp wit, and her old-girl network 

of domestic workers help her discover the truth.

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration 

in the Age of Color Blindness by Michelle Alexander

discusses race-related issues specific to African-American 

males, and mass incarceration in the U.S., but noted that the 

discrimination is prevalent among other minorities and socioeconomically 

disadvantaged populations. The central premise is 

that “mass incarceration is, metaphorically, the New Jim Crow.

I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron 

The woman who brought us When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless 

in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail, discusses everything—from 

how much she hates her purse to how much time she spends 

attempting to stop the clock: the hair dye, the treadmill, the lotions 

and creams that promise to slow the aging process but never does. 

It’s a hilarious look at women who are dealing with the tribulations 

of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.

Factfulness by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund 

When asked simple questions about global trends we systematically 

get the answers wrong. The authors offer the radical and stressreducing 

strategy of only carrying opinions for which you have 

strong, supporting facts. They reveal ten instincts that distort our 

perspective, including our tendency to divide the world into “us 

and them,” and how we consume media.

Marine Exchange of 

Southern California 

The Marine Exchange of Southern California is a 96-year old 

non-profit firm which has two primary functions, its Maritime 

Information Service and Vessel Traffic Service. The Maritime 

Information Service collates and disseminates the schedule 

for large vessels arriving, departing, and moving around the 

Los Angeles and Long Beach Port Complex, as well as Port 

Hueneme, the Chevron Refinery Offshore Moorings in El Segundo, 

and San Diego. More than 4,500 large vessels arrive in LA/LB each 

year. The Vessel Traffic Service performs a function like Air Traffic 

Control, but for ships. The primary mission of the vessel traffic 

service is to prevent groundings and collisions. Together, the 

Maritime Information Service (MIS) and Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) 

ensure the safe, secure, efficient, reliable, and environmentally 

sound movement of vessels throughout Southern California. 

We will receive a briefing on the MIS and VTS and tour the 

facilities. As a bonus, we will tour the 100-year old, WW-1 Gun 

Emplacement that the Marine Exchange is built on top of. 

There is a fascinating series of underground facilities, hallways, 

and rooms that we will tour. 

All are recommended to wear enclosed flat shoes and pants.

Our Communities and Personal Safety 

Our world has changed and our personal safety and 

the safety of those we love is important. 

It is important to practice Situational Awareness. Do you include 

safety in your daily plans? Police response time on average is 7 to 

11 minutes. We see and hear about tragedies in the news that 

are happening in our neighborhoods; home invasions, street and 

parking lot robberies, and much worse, kidnappings and loss of 

life. Criminals hide in plain sight. 

It is important to talk to your family and friends about safety. 

We all want our loved ones to be safe too. The tragedies and 

victims we see on the news didn’t think it would happen 

to them – but it did. 

NEW! 

Linda Benecke, the Safety Advocate and representative for Damsel 

in Defense will be giving a presentation on safety with numerous 

suggestions on how to protect ourselves, as well as introducing 

Damsel in Defense safety tools. Damsel’s mission is to Empower, 

Educate and Equip. Better to have a safety tool and not need it for 

that ‘Just in Case’ moment. We have a right to protect ourselves 

should we be in an uncomfortable or threatening situation.

(BMS) Broadway To Mainstreet—How Show 

Tunes Enchanted America 

The music of Broadway is one of America’s most unique and 

popular genres. From sheet music to radio broadcasts to 

recordings, all influencing stage, television, the motion picture 

industry and now streaming and the internet. Broadway to Main 

Street is a fascinating look at show music’s hold on the American 

imagination. We will explore the music from Jerome Kern to 

Lin-Manuel Miranda, from Tin Pan Alley to John Legend and feature 

interviews with Stephen Schwartz, Harold Prince, Sheldon Harnick, 

prominent record producers and music critics to mention a few. 

This class is designed for music lovers of Broadway and the book 

will prove to be an ideal companion for all fans of musical theatre 

and popular music. So, Leader, “Strike up the Band!”

Europe: A History, by Norman Davies 

(January 1998) 

(EUR) Europe: A History 

Here is a masterpiece of historical narrative that stretches from 

the Ice Age to the Atomic Age, as it tells the story of Europe, East 

and West. Norman Davies captures it all--the rise and fall of Rome, 

the sweeping invasions of Alaric and Atilla, the Norman Conquests, 

the Papal struggles for power, the Renaissance and the Reformation, 

the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Europe’s rise 

to become the powerhouse of the world, and its eclipse in our 

own century, following two devastating World Wars. This is the 

first major history of Europe to give equal weight to both East and 

West, and it shines light on fascinating minority communities, from 

heretics and lepers to Gypsies, Jews, and Muslims. It also takes an 

innovative approach, combining traditional narrative with unique 

features that help bring history alive: 299 time capsules scattered 

through the narrative capture telling aspects of an era; 12 snapshots 

offer a panoramic look at all of Europe at a particular moment in 

history; full coverage of Eastern Europe—100 maps and diagrams, 

72 black-and-white plates. All told, Davies’s Europe represents 

one of the most important and illuminating histories to be published 

in recent years. 


The Once and Future Worker: 

A Vision for the Renewal of Work 

in America, by Oren Cass 

(November 2018) 

(FOW) Future of Work 

The American worker is in crisis. Wages have stagnated for more 

than a generation. Automation is eliminating careers and jobs. 

Companies are hiring part-time workers instead of full-time or using 

Uber’s concept of “independent contractors” thereby eliminating 

many company-supplied benefits. All too many workers are unprepared 

for the changing conditions while at the same time many job 

openings cannot be filled. Reliance on welfare programs has surged 

severely stressing government budgets. Life expectancy is falling as 

substance abuse and obesity rates climb. These woes are the direct 

consequence of a decades-long economic consensus that prioritized 

increasing consumption regardless of the costs to American workers, 

their families, and their communities. Our systems of education 

and training, business and labor law, tax and welfare were created 

under very different conditions from those of today and are all in 

need of rethinking. Our common reading selection provides stimulation 

and shift of perspective as aids to such rethinking. 



(HDD) How Democracies Die 

Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us 

never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard 

professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than 

twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe 

and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy 

no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but 

with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, 

such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of longstanding 

political norms. The good news is that there are several 

exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that we 

have already passed the first one. Drawing on decades of research 

and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s 

Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the 

American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how 

democracies die—and how ours can be saved.

by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt

(HIH) How The Internet Happened 

The story of the Internet is often focused on hackers and software 

engineers. Who wrote the code? Who did it first? And who did it 

best? There is plenty of this in Brian McCullough’s book, but there 

is also the broader view showing how a handful of powerful 

companies came to dominate the technology. The internet didn’t 

happen only because of wizardly coding and cheaper computers. 

It also happened because of serendipity, failures, friendships and 

feuds; and through it all a flood of cash eased the path to success. 

We will look at the interlocking histories of start-ups and how 

entrepreneurs and CEOs battled one another on the technological 

and financial playing fields. Some of the most interesting moments 

occur when we meet the already forgotten players of the early days 

that gave rise to the dominating businesses of today. In many ways, 

the history of the internet was ugly, but as the smoke clears, we 

find that we are left with something truly new, ubiquitous and 

even beautiful, like the sleek new iPhone.

From Netscape to the iPhone

Nature’s Mutiny: How the Little Ice 

Age of the Long Seventeenth 

Century Transformed the West 

and Shaped the Present, 

by Philipp Blom (February 2019) 

(ICE) How The Little Ice Age Changed History 

Starting in the fourteenth century and lasting several hundred 

years, cooling temperatures disrupted the world’s economic and 

social structures—contributing to the rise of the modern world. 

This epoch is known as the Little Ice Age, during which average 

earth surface temperatures dropped by as much as two degrees 

Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. (This is the same amount of 

temperature change as the goal to limit global warming now.) 

These cooling temperatures and accompanying major storms 

reduced crop yields which disrupted the feudal and guild economic 

and social structures of the time, giving rise to the modern world. 

People migrated, cities grew, food was transported long distances, 

banking emerged and money became more important. These social 

and economic changes were coincident to the beginnings of modern 

science, the Enlightenment, and the innovation of capitalism. 


The Library Book, by Susan Orlean 

(October 2018) 

(LIB) Libraries 

The S/DG will examine the role of libraries in society and in our 

lives, as well as reading about the 1986 fire at the Los Angeles 

Central Library where we trace the early history of this local library 

and its colorful head librarians; we read about the issues that 

face libraries today (homeless users) as well as the puzzling selfcontradictory 

man who was accused of but probably did not start 

the library fire. We’ll study the changes libraries face as interest in 

books is being replaced by digital media, the rise of internet use in 

libraries, the history of libraries in America, the history of famous 

libraries in ancient and medieval history, and the role of the 

Library of Congress. 



(LUH) Lift Up Humanity 

“If you want to lift up humanity, empower women. It is the most 

comprehensive, pervasive, high-leverage investment you can make 

in human beings.” These are the words of Melinda Gates in her 

book, The Moment of Lift, the common reading for this S/DG. 

This book describes the challenges of poor communities around the 

world and the work that the Gates Foundation is doing to alleviate 

them. It also reveals some of Ms. Gates challenges in causing all 

this to happen. 


The Moment of Lift: 

How Empowering Women 

Changes the World, by Melinda Gates 

(April 23, 2019) 

(MID) View From The Middle 

The “Heartland of America” has often been used to describe that 

large portion of the country between the Appalachian and 

Rocky Mountains and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. It is highly 

agricultural and industrial and many who live along the East and 

West Coasts consider it “fly over country,” “a flat undifferentiated 

mass of square tracts and crop circles,” “a land of farmers of 

northern European descent … a psychic fall-out shelter in which to 

seek refuge from a changing and dangerous world.” The region is 

much more complex than that. This S/DG will explore this region 

and the viewpoints of its residents and voters with aid of our 

Common Reading. This region will almost certainly decide the next 

U.S. presidential election, which will be one of the most crucial in 

our country’s history. 


The Heartland: An American 

History, by Kristin L. Hoganson

The Disordered Mind—What 

Unusual Brains Tell Us About 

Ourselves, by Eric R. Kandel 

(2000 Nobel Prize in Medicine 

for Physiology) (August 2018) 

(MND) The Disordered Mind 

Our culture’s conception of the varieties of mental illness was 

formed over a century ago with delineation of the major categories 

physicians now use to diagnose psychiatric diseases. Our author, 

Kandel, holds that mental illnesses are simply brain disorders,” and 

is particularly focused on the importance of genetics. Neurobiology 

may indeed be well poised to promote this kind of synthesis. Kandel 

illuminates the link between mental illness and artistic creativity, and 

tries to reconcile Kraepelin-style biologism with more humanistically 

oriented psychotherapy, correctly assailing the false dichotomy 

between these two approaches. There are many indications that 

the brain’s interactions with the rest of the body, both during 

development and later in life, can have a major impact on health. 

There is a need to consider our brains in the social, environmental 

and bodily contexts in which they operate — contexts that help 

make us who we are, in both sickness and health. This S/DG will 

explore modern models of mental disorders. 


Reconstruction: A Concise History, 

by Allen C. Guelzo (May 2018) 

(REC) Reconstruction—The Worst Phase 

of American History 

At the end of the Civil War, the United States began the effort of 

putting the country back together again. This meant restoring 

commerce, governmental processes, and dealing with the multitude 

of freed, black slaves. This whole process was very badly handled 

and resulted in even greater division in the country than there 

had been before the war. For example, the border states of West 

Virginia (broken off from Virginia during the war), Tennessee, 

Kentucky, and Missouri shifted their sympathies from the North, 

to the South. These Appalachian people had largely hated the 

wealthy Southern land and slave holders, but found the selfrighteous 

Northern “reformers” even more offensive. This S/DG 

will review the history of this period and what its impacts are on 

us today. We will consider how we might correct the various social 

and political structures that resulted from Reconstruction. 



(SAN) The Best American Science and Nature 

Writing 2018 

This book is a collection of articles that have recently appeared in 

magazines such as The Atlantic, The New Yorker, California Sunday 

Magazine, Esquire, Vox, Science, e.g. All are aimed at the general 

reader. Articles run 15-20 pages and are on a variety of topics. 

According to the editor of the 2018 edition, Sean Kean, “This is one 

of the most exciting times in the history of science…Things aren’t 

perfect by any means. But there are more scientists making more 

discoveries in more places about more things than ever before.”

(SBP) The Seven Basic Plots to Stories 

It is often heard that there are only so many story lines or plots to all 

of the novels, movies, plays and tales that we read or see. Now here 

is an author that has both spelled them out, and explained how 

many stories we are familiar with fit into his categories. He discusses 

stories as varied as those from the Greeks, the movies, fairy tales, 

Shakespeare, and contemporary literature—from Gilgamesh (the 

oldest written story known) and Beowulf to Star Wars and the Lord 

of the Rings—showing how they all fit into his scheme of plots. 

His seven plots are: (1) Overcoming the Monster, (2) Rags to Riches, 

(3) The Quest, (4) Voyage and Return, (5) Comedy, (6) Tragedy, and 

(7) Rebirth. 


The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell 

Stories by Christopher Booker 

(January 31, 2005) 

(SHK) Shakespeare: All The World’s A Stage… 

With players standing and with a few props, we will do reading 

walk-throughs of Edward III as our History play and we’ll use 

Love’s Labor’s Lost as our Comedy. We’ll pick our third play, a 

tragedy, depending on preferences expressed at the pre-meeting in 

August. Class members will learn how to research all perspectives 

of Shakespeare’s works — sources upon which the Bard builds rich 

characters and enhances the plots, how to play each character 

“in character,” themes, symbols, images, motifs, and commentary 

on issues of the day. Members will leave this class with a fuller 

understanding of the masterful story construction, realistic 

characters with depth and humanity, and the rich, evocative 

language which have earned William Shakespeare the title of 

greatest writer in the English language. 


Selected Plays 




The Best American Short Stories 

2018, edited by Roxane Gay 

(October 2018) 

(SSS) The Best American Short Stories 2018 

Roxane Gay writes in her introduction to The Best American Short 

Stories 2018 that she loves it when a story has a powerful message 

and when a story teaches something about the world. In this 

collection of short stories you will be transported from a fraught 

family reunion to an immigration detention center, from a 

psychiatric hospital to a coed class sleepover in a natural history 

museum. You will meet a rebellious summer camper, a Twitter 

addict, and an Appalachian preacher. These profound, artful, and 

sometimes funny stories with interesting characters and unusual 

circumstances will show us what we need to know about the lives 

of others. The discussions pertaining to these stories will prove 

to be thought provoking beyond our wildest imagination. 


The Most Dangerous Branch: 

Inside the Supreme Court’s Assault 

on the Constitution, 

by David A. Kaplan (September 2018) 

(SUP) The Supreme Court 

The Most Dangerous Branch takes us inside the secret world of the 

Supreme Court. David A. Kaplan, former legal affairs editor of 

Newsweek, shows how justices subvert the role of the other government 

branches—and how we’ve come to accept it at our peril. 

Based on exclusive interviews with the justices and dozens of their 

law clerks, Kaplan provides fresh details about life behind what goes 

on at the Court, and presents a sweeping narrative of the justices’ 

aggrandizement of power over the decades—from Roe v. Wade to 

Bush v. Gore to Citizens United, to rulings during the 2017-18 term. 


Spying on Whales: The Past, 

Present, and Future of Earth’s 

Most Awesome Creatures, 

by Nick Pyenson (June 2018) 

(WDP) Thar’ She Blows…Discovering Whales, 

Dolphins and Porpoises 

It is impossible to live in the South Bay without at some time being 

treated to the beauty of our local cetaceans: porpoises, dolphins 

and whales. We live in such close proximity to them yet we do not 

know much about them. This S/DG will take an in-depth look at 

the past, present and future of these awesome creatures. Focusing 

primarily on whales, we will look at the evolution of this species, 

what we can learn from fossil remains and history, recent knowledge 

about the intelligence and brain power of cetaceans and what 

the future with climate changes holds for them.

whose culture springs from a sense of belonging and a shared 

commitment. Whether 


it is telling a friend, facilitating a class, 

coordinating an event, raising funds, or serving on a committee to 

build a sustainable OLLI program we need members like you. 

Active members are the creative lifeblood of OLLI@CSUDH 

program. Volunteer-Members are involved in many aspects of the 

OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE CSULB 2003 - 2019 

OLLI@CSUDH program. Enthusiastic volunteers work with the OLLI 

staff members to bring OLLI classes, lectures, events, and programs 

and we are always looking 


for fresh ideas, new talents and skills. 

There are several ways to get involved. 

Want to help every once in a while, when you have an hour or 

two available? Become an event volunteer. Want to plan quarterly 

events with a minimum meeting-time commitment? Join a party 


planning committee. Looking for a way to connect with members 

on an ongoing basis, using your talent and expertise to work in a 

variety of areas from making phone calls to developing curriculum 


to arranging field-trip transportation. OLLI@CSUDH has the need 

and committee to match your area of interest to do what you love 

and love what you do.

OLLI WAITLIST PROCEDURES 


Enrich OLLI 

at CSUDH 

OLLI Waitlist Procedures 

NEW! 

At the request of OLLI Members and to maximize opportunities for 

all OLLI Members to enroll in courses and events, OLLI@CSUDH has 

implemented a Waitlist Procedure. 

1. What are waitlists? 

If a course enrollment reaches capacity, members can place 

themselves on a waitlist and will be notified if a spot in the class 

becomes available. When you register by phone or in-person 

you will immediately know what courses are full and what 

course are available. 

2. How do I waitlist for a course / event? 

Follow your current enrollment procedure (1st page of catalog’s 

gold pages). If the course or event is full, ask to be placed on 

the waitlist. Registration will place the member in the next 

chronological waitlist space. 

3. How will I know if I am can get into the class? 

After the first day of class or when space becomes available 

(whichever comes first), you will be notified through email by 

an OLLI Staff member. OLLI Staff will contact the members in 

chronological waitlist order advising them of space available. 

Members have until the next class to enroll. 

4. Is there a charge to be placed on a waitlist? 

No. You will not be charged any fees for courses or events for 

which you are waitlisted. You are only charged when you are 

fully enrolled. 

5. How can I do my part? 

Make space for others. If you are unable to attend a course, 

please cancel through OLLI Registration at (310) 243-3741 or 

contact the OLLI Office through email at olli@csudh.edu 

So, registering early—even for courses or events that are already 

full—is the best way to get into the courses you really want. 


CODES OF CONDUCT 

OLLI@CSUDH 

Codes of Conduct 

NEW! 

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at California State University, 

Dominguez Hills (OLLI@CSUDH) is a community of active 

mature lifelong learners. The College of Extended and International 

Education (CEIE) is committed to maintaining a safe 

and healthy learning environment for OLLI Members, students, 

faculty, and staff. Many of our programs offer a forum for a lively 

and sometimes passionate exchange of views. Members of our 

learning community are expected to follow principles of courtesy 

and mutual respect that promote reasoned discourse and engage 

in responsible behaviors that reflect well upon the university. 

To be civil to one another, to others in the campus community, 

and contribute positively to OLLI Members, students, faculty, 

staff, and university life. 

Violations include conduct that threatens or endangers the 

health or safety of any person within or related to the University 

community, including but not limited to physical abuse, threats, 

intimidation, harassment, sexual misconduct, denigrating others’ 

views or opinions, offensive or abusive language, disruptive 

classroom conduct, discrimination, and monopolizing discussions. 

Failure to treat ideas, viewpoints, the classroom environment, 

and interests of members in the community with respect and 

civility compromises the intellectual climate at OLLI and cannot 

be tolerated. 

The OLLI Director and CEIE leadership are responsible for ensuring 

that the Code of Conduct is being followed in all OLLI-sponsored 

programs. Members who do not adhere to these principles or 

interfere with the goals of our learning community may be 

removed from the class and/or activities and denied the privilege 

of future participation at the discretion of the OLLI Director 

and CEIE Leadership.
