A Message from Dean McNutt<br />
College of Extended and International Education, CSUDH<br />
By now, many <strong>OLLI</strong> Members have heard me<br />
use the phrase, “The College of Extended<br />
and International Education is all about K-80<br />
Education.” It’s a play on the term, K-12 or K-16<br />
education. What I mean by that is CEIE provides<br />
a learning continuum, whether a summer<br />
reading program for kindergarteners, a project management<br />
training program for adult learners looking to advance at work or<br />
<strong>OLLI</strong> Members reading a play or playing social tennis for seniors.<br />
Going forward, I will use the term, “K-100 education” and here’s<br />
why. I was asked to make opening remarks at our fall Osher<br />
Life Long Learning Institute (<strong>OLLI</strong>) Open House. The Extended<br />
Education auditorium was filled with new and continuing<br />
members. After describing the 50 academic, continuing and<br />
lifelong learning courses we have in our portfolio, I said how<br />
much I believe in K-80 education. After my brief talk, a Member<br />
came to me and said, “Dean McNutt, I take umbrage with your<br />
remarks about K-80 learning.” I was taken aback by her comment<br />
and thought she might even be joking with me, but she was not.<br />
“You should know,” she said, “I am 95 years of age, and I am still<br />
learning through <strong>OLLI</strong> classes at CSUDH.” Much to my chagrin,<br />
I discovered we have several <strong>OLLI</strong> and Omnilore Members in their<br />
90’s who are engaged in active learning. So next time you hear<br />
me talk about the depth and breadth of our membership and the<br />
myriad opportunities we have for continuous learning, listen for<br />
the phrase, “The College of Extended and International Education<br />
is all about K-100 Education.”<br />
With that in mind, be sure to pick up your own copy of the<br />
<strong>OLLI</strong> <strong>Fall</strong> course catalog. There are at least 23 new programs and<br />
topics for your consideration.<br />
Finally, I’d like to thank all the donors who contributed to our<br />
Membership campaign this year. <strong>OLLI</strong> cannot thrive without<br />
donors, dedicated volunteers, staff, Extended Education and<br />
CSUDH. We look forward to another great <strong>Fall</strong> of exciting<br />
programming. See you around campus!<br />

The Wonderful African, Japanese,<br />
and Folk Influences on Modern Art<br />
to That? ⊲<br />
Did You Ever Wonder How Art<br />
⊳ Went from This<br />
Come and learn about all the wonderful cultural influences<br />
of African sculpture, Japanese art, and folk art on European,<br />
American, and African American Modern art. See how these<br />
cultural influences changed how artists approached figuration,<br />
perspective, form, and color. European artists created new forms<br />
of art and became the avant-garde modern artists of the art<br />
world. Americans were also inspired to invent totally new forms of<br />
Modern art. See how African American artist, Aaron Douglas, was<br />
inspired by African sculpture to create abstract murals at historically<br />
black colleges. Join art historian, Bridgitte Montgomery, and see her<br />
Power Point presentation on the variety of cultural influences that<br />
inspired Impressionism, abstract art, and modern art in Europe<br />
and America.<br />
The Art of Book Folding<br />
NEW!<br />

lying around collecting dust<br />
and turn them into works of<br />
art that will jump out of the<br />
pages with Yolanda.<br />
Once you have some basic<br />
knowledge on folding, it’s a<br />
very easy and affordable craft<br />
with minimal supplies.<br />
It is a craft for both men and women. Yolanda will show you<br />
samples of books with only folded pages, and some cut and<br />
folded book pages which are more intricate. You may add a bit of<br />
scrapbooking to finish off the book (this is optional).<br />
Most materials will be provided. Additional materials needed for<br />

Could U.S. Healthcare Become the<br />
Best in the World?<br />
Getting to first from last is not an easy task. Confounding our high<br />
cost, dysfunctional healthcare is economic inequality (income, pay<br />
and wealth). We can learn a lot from other high-income countries<br />
who have universal healthcare and are more equalitarian.<br />
Major issues that must be addressed:<br />
• Employer health insurance<br />
(EHI). Origin of high cost.<br />
Unique to the U.S.<br />
• Lack of government<br />
decision making and<br />
decision makers entity for<br />
all healthcare prices.<br />
• Untamed capitalism –<br />
found in the behavior of<br />
insurers and providers.<br />
NEW!<br />
• Use of 3rd party administrators<br />
that don’t take the RISK and can<br />
perpetuate fraud and waste.<br />
• Inability to curb Big Ag and Big<br />
Food from putting unhealthy<br />
food on the table.<br />
• Wage stagnation, a high<br />
poverty and obesity rate,<br />
Rich US is low on the<br />
happiness scale.<br />

We need leaders (elections coming up!) who understand why<br />
other high-income countries do not have total government control<br />
and payment but do assure everyone receives quality healthcare.<br />
So, arm yourself with the facts, the math and realize we do have<br />
the resources to build a bona fide healthcare system to move from<br />
last (at least closer) to first in Health and Wellness and equality.<br />

Caregiving is a labor of love and sometimes the labor load is heavy.<br />
Besides your own immediate family, you may find yourself caring<br />

giving care: doctor appointments and medications.<br />
Presenter Angela McGowan is a Patient Advocate and Caregiver<br />
Strategist, as well as the author of the new book, How to Get Out<br />
of The Hospital ALIVE! She invites you to engage your feelings and<br />
fears about suddenly being a caregiver, and obtain tips and ways<br />
to navigate through healthcare’s sea of red tape. Learn to create<br />
strategies for giving excellent care to others, as you care for<br />
yourself as well.<br />

Cruise to the North Pole &<br />
Chasing a Total Solar Eclipse<br />
In the summer of 2008 a group of polar adventurers and eclipse<br />
chasers boarded Russia’s largest and newest nuclear-powered<br />
icebreaker Fifty Years of Victory. This unique cruise started in<br />
Murmansk, broke ice in the Arctic Ocean, stopped at the North<br />
Pole for festive celebrations, then went on to the remote Franz<br />
Josef archipelago for various shore landings. Numerous species of<br />
arctic birds and polar bears were seen along the way. Lastly, the<br />
ship dashed to the distant coastline of Novaya Zemlaya where a<br />
total solar eclipse was witnessed.<br />
Rich Abele is a veteran of numerous trips to the Arctic and<br />
Antarctic including the South Pole. He will take you on a<br />
photographic and oral journey across the Arctic Ocean where he<br />
encountered huge icebergs and miles of pack ice enroute to the<br />
North Pole. After celebrating at “the top of the world,” the ship<br />
made landings on remote islands in Franz Josef Land by helicopter<br />
where abandoned explorer camps and research stations were<br />
visited. Numerous polar bears, walruses and various species of<br />
arctic birds were also sighted.<br />
Please join us and find out how icebreakers are reaching the<br />

How to Build a Dividend Portfolio<br />
NEW!<br />
Safe, fixed, and conservative investments have yielded low<br />
rates for the past 30 plus years causing investors to search high<br />
and low for income. Fear of stock market volatility have made<br />
dividend paying portfolios an attractive strategy. What is a dividend<br />
portfolio? This workshop will answer this question, present the<br />
pros/cons of owning dividend paying investments, and show you<br />
how to build one from scratch. We’ll also discuss tax efficient<br />
methods of managing income distributions such as asset location,<br />
dividend reinvestment plans, and tax-free accounts. Attendees<br />
should have a better idea of the suitability of adding these incomeproducing<br />
assets to their portfolios.<br />

Blanche on the Lam by Barbara Neely<br />
Blanche White is a feisty, middle-aged African-American<br />
housekeeper working for the genteel rich in North Carolina.<br />
When an employer stiffs her, and her checks bounce, she goes on<br />
the lam, hiding out as a maid for a wealthy family at their summer<br />
home. Her plan is interrupted when she becomes the prime suspect<br />
in a murder investigation. Her sharp wit, and her old-girl network<br />
of domestic workers help her discover the truth.<br />

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration<br />
in the Age of Color Blindness by Michelle Alexander<br />
The author is a civil rights litigator and legal scholar. The book<br />
discusses race-related issues specific to African-American<br />
males, and mass incarceration in the U.S., but noted that the<br />
discrimination is prevalent among other minorities and socioeconomically<br />
disadvantaged populations. The central premise is<br />
that “mass incarceration is, metaphorically, the New Jim Crow.<br />

I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron<br />
The woman who brought us When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless<br />
in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail, discusses everything—from<br />
how much she hates her purse to how much time she spends<br />
attempting to stop the clock: the hair dye, the treadmill, the lotions<br />
and creams that promise to slow the aging process but never does.<br />
It’s a hilarious look at women who are dealing with the tribulations<br />
of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.<br />
December 12<br />
Factfulness by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund<br />
When asked simple questions about global trends we systematically<br />
get the answers wrong. The authors offer the radical and stressreducing<br />
strategy of only carrying opinions for which you have<br />
strong, supporting facts. They reveal ten instincts that distort our<br />
perspective, including our tendency to divide the world into “us<br />
and them,” and how we consume media.<br />

Marine Exchange of<br />
Southern California<br />
The Marine Exchange of Southern California is a 96-year old<br />
non-profit firm which has two primary functions, its Maritime<br />
Information Service and Vessel Traffic Service. The Maritime<br />
Information Service collates and disseminates the schedule<br />
for large vessels arriving, departing, and moving around the<br />
Los Angeles and Long Beach Port Complex, as well as Port<br />
Hueneme, the Chevron Refinery Offshore Moorings in El Segundo,<br />
and San Diego. More than 4,500 large vessels arrive in LA/LB each<br />
year. The Vessel Traffic Service performs a function like Air Traffic<br />
Control, but for ships. The primary mission of the vessel traffic<br />
service is to prevent groundings and collisions. Together, the<br />
Maritime Information Service (MIS) and Vessel Traffic Service (VTS)<br />
ensure the safe, secure, efficient, reliable, and environmentally<br />
sound movement of vessels throughout Southern California.<br />
We will receive a briefing on the MIS and VTS and tour the<br />
facilities. As a bonus, we will tour the 100-year old, WW-1 Gun<br />
Emplacement that the Marine Exchange is built on top of.<br />
There is a fascinating series of underground facilities, hallways,<br />
and rooms that we will tour.<br />
All are recommended to wear enclosed flat shoes and pants.<br />

Our Communities and Personal Safety<br />
Our world has changed and our personal safety and<br />
the safety of those we love is important.<br />
It is important to practice Situational Awareness. Do you include<br />
safety in your daily plans? Police response time on average is 7 to<br />
11 minutes. We see and hear about tragedies in the news that<br />
are happening in our neighborhoods; home invasions, street and<br />
parking lot robberies, and much worse, kidnappings and loss of<br />
life. Criminals hide in plain sight.<br />
It is important to talk to your family and friends about safety.<br />
We all want our loved ones to be safe too. The tragedies and<br />
victims we see on the news didn’t think it would happen<br />
to them – but it did.<br />
NEW!<br />
Linda Benecke, the Safety Advocate and representative for Damsel<br />
in Defense will be giving a presentation on safety with numerous<br />
suggestions on how to protect ourselves, as well as introducing<br />
Damsel in Defense safety tools. Damsel’s mission is to Empower,<br />
Educate and Equip. Better to have a safety tool and not need it for<br />
that ‘Just in Case’ moment. We have a right to protect ourselves<br />
should we be in an uncomfortable or threatening situation.<br />

The peer-led program of <strong>OLLI</strong> at CSUDH is known as Omnilore.<br />
The study/discussion group is the core of the peer-led program.<br />
Within the group, each member participates by choosing a topic<br />
related to the subject under study, doing research on it and then<br />
presenting the information to the group. Some study/discussion<br />
groups are structured around a book, which all members read<br />
and discuss as part of the meetings. Groups meet for two hours<br />
twice each month, 8 meetings for a total of 16 hours. The exact<br />
time of each class is set by the participants.<br />

Europe: A History, by Norman Davies<br />
(January 1998)<br />
(EUR) Europe: A History<br />
Here is a masterpiece of historical narrative that stretches from<br />
the Ice Age to the Atomic Age, as it tells the story of Europe, East<br />
and West. Norman Davies captures it all--the rise and fall of Rome,<br />
the sweeping invasions of Alaric and Atilla, the Norman Conquests,<br />
the Papal struggles for power, the Renaissance and the Reformation,<br />
the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Europe’s rise<br />
to become the powerhouse of the world, and its eclipse in our<br />
own century, following two devastating World Wars. This is the<br />
first major history of Europe to give equal weight to both East and<br />
West, and it shines light on fascinating minority communities, from<br />
heretics and lepers to Gypsies, Jews, and Muslims. It also takes an<br />
innovative approach, combining traditional narrative with unique<br />
features that help bring history alive: 299 time capsules scattered<br />
through the narrative capture telling aspects of an era; 12 snapshots<br />
offer a panoramic look at all of Europe at a particular moment in<br />
history; full coverage of Eastern Europe—100 maps and diagrams,<br />
72 black-and-white plates. All told, Davies’s Europe represents<br />
one of the most important and illuminating histories to be published<br />
in recent years.<br />

The Once and Future Worker:<br />
A Vision for the Renewal of Work<br />
in America, by Oren Cass<br />
(November 2018)<br />
(FOW) Future of Work<br />
The American worker is in crisis. Wages have stagnated for more<br />
than a generation. Automation is eliminating careers and jobs.<br />
Companies are hiring part-time workers instead of full-time or using<br />
Uber’s concept of “independent contractors” thereby eliminating<br />
many company-supplied benefits. All too many workers are unprepared<br />
for the changing conditions while at the same time many job<br />
openings cannot be filled. Reliance on welfare programs has surged<br />
severely stressing government budgets. Life expectancy is falling as<br />
substance abuse and obesity rates climb. These woes are the direct<br />
consequence of a decades-long economic consensus that prioritized<br />
increasing consumption regardless of the costs to American workers,<br />
their families, and their communities. Our systems of education<br />
and training, business and labor law, tax and welfare were created<br />
under very different conditions from those of today and are all in<br />
need of rethinking. Our common reading selection provides stimulation<br />
and shift of perspective as aids to such rethinking.<br />

(HDD) How Democracies Die<br />
Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us<br />
never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard<br />
professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than<br />
twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe<br />
and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy<br />
no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but<br />
with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions,<br />
such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of longstanding<br />
political norms. The good news is that there are several<br />
exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that we<br />
have already passed the first one. Drawing on decades of research<br />
and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s<br />
Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the<br />
American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how<br />
democracies die—and how ours can be saved.<br />

(HIH) How The Internet Happened<br />
The story of the Internet is often focused on hackers and software<br />
engineers. Who wrote the code? Who did it first? And who did it<br />
best? There is plenty of this in Brian McCullough’s book, but there<br />
is also the broader view showing how a handful of powerful<br />
companies came to dominate the technology. The internet didn’t<br />
happen only because of wizardly coding and cheaper computers.<br />
It also happened because of serendipity, failures, friendships and<br />
feuds; and through it all a flood of cash eased the path to success.<br />
We will look at the interlocking histories of start-ups and how<br />
entrepreneurs and CEOs battled one another on the technological<br />
and financial playing fields. Some of the most interesting moments<br />
occur when we meet the already forgotten players of the early days<br />
that gave rise to the dominating businesses of today. In many ways,<br />
the history of the internet was ugly, but as the smoke clears, we<br />
find that we are left with something truly new, ubiquitous and<br />
even beautiful, like the sleek new iPhone.<br />

Nature’s Mutiny: How the Little Ice<br />
Age of the Long Seventeenth<br />
Century Transformed the West<br />
and Shaped the Present,<br />
by Philipp Blom (February <strong>2019</strong>)<br />
(ICE) How The Little Ice Age Changed History<br />
Starting in the fourteenth century and lasting several hundred<br />
years, cooling temperatures disrupted the world’s economic and<br />
social structures—contributing to the rise of the modern world.<br />
This epoch is known as the Little Ice Age, during which average<br />
earth surface temperatures dropped by as much as two degrees<br />
Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. (This is the same amount of<br />
temperature change as the goal to limit global warming now.)<br />
These cooling temperatures and accompanying major storms<br />
reduced crop yields which disrupted the feudal and guild economic<br />
and social structures of the time, giving rise to the modern world.<br />
People migrated, cities grew, food was transported long distances,<br />
banking emerged and money became more important. These social<br />
and economic changes were coincident to the beginnings of modern<br />
science, the Enlightenment, and the innovation of capitalism.<br />

Central Library where we trace the early history of this local library<br />
and its colorful head librarians; we read about the issues that<br />
face libraries today (homeless users) as well as the puzzling selfcontradictory<br />
man who was accused of but probably did not start<br />
the library fire. We’ll study the changes libraries face as interest in<br />
books is being replaced by digital media, the rise of internet use in<br />
libraries, the history of libraries in America, the history of famous<br />
libraries in ancient and medieval history, and the role of the<br />
Library of Congress.<br />

(MID) View From The Middle<br />
The “Heartland of America” has often been used to describe that<br />
large portion of the country between the Appalachian and<br />
Rocky Mountains and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. It is highly<br />
agricultural and industrial and many who live along the East and<br />
West Coasts consider it “fly over country,” “a flat undifferentiated<br />
mass of square tracts and crop circles,” “a land of farmers of<br />
northern European descent … a psychic fall-out shelter in which to<br />
seek refuge from a changing and dangerous world.” The region is<br />
much more complex than that. This S/DG will explore this region<br />
and the viewpoints of its residents and voters with aid of our<br />
Common Reading. This region will almost certainly decide the next<br />
U.S. presidential election, which will be one of the most crucial in<br />

The Disordered Mind—What<br />
Unusual Brains Tell Us About<br />
Ourselves, by Eric R. Kandel<br />
(2000 Nobel Prize in Medicine<br />
for Physiology) (August 2018)<br />
(MND) The Disordered Mind<br />
Our culture’s conception of the varieties of mental illness was<br />
formed over a century ago with delineation of the major categories<br />
physicians now use to diagnose psychiatric diseases. Our author,<br />
Kandel, holds that mental illnesses are simply brain disorders,” and<br />
is particularly focused on the importance of genetics. Neurobiology<br />
may indeed be well poised to promote this kind of synthesis. Kandel<br />
illuminates the link between mental illness and artistic creativity, and<br />
tries to reconcile Kraepelin-style biologism with more humanistically<br />
oriented psychotherapy, correctly assailing the false dichotomy<br />
between these two approaches. There are many indications that<br />
the brain’s interactions with the rest of the body, both during<br />
development and later in life, can have a major impact on health.<br />
There is a need to consider our brains in the social, environmental<br />
and bodily contexts in which they operate — contexts that help<br />
make us who we are, in both sickness and health. This S/DG will<br />
explore modern models of mental disorders.<br />

Reconstruction: A Concise History,<br />
by Allen C. Guelzo (May 2018)<br />
(REC) Reconstruction—The Worst Phase<br />
of American History<br />
At the end of the Civil War, the United States began the effort of<br />
putting the country back together again. This meant restoring<br />
commerce, governmental processes, and dealing with the multitude<br />
of freed, black slaves. This whole process was very badly handled<br />
and resulted in even greater division in the country than there<br />
had been before the war. For example, the border states of West<br />
Virginia (broken off from Virginia during the war), Tennessee,<br />
Kentucky, and Missouri shifted their sympathies from the North,<br />
to the South. These Appalachian people had largely hated the<br />
wealthy Southern land and slave holders, but found the selfrighteous<br />
Northern “reformers” even more offensive. This S/DG<br />
will review the history of this period and what its impacts are on<br />
us today. We will consider how we might correct the various social<br />
and political structures that resulted from Reconstruction.<br />

is an author that has both spelled them out, and explained how<br />
many stories we are familiar with fit into his categories. He discusses<br />
stories as varied as those from the Greeks, the movies, fairy tales,<br />
Shakespeare, and contemporary literature—from Gilgamesh (the<br />
oldest written story known) and Beowulf to Star Wars and the Lord<br />
of the Rings—showing how they all fit into his scheme of plots.<br />
His seven plots are: (1) Overcoming the Monster, (2) Rags to Riches,<br />

<strong>OLLI</strong> WAITLIST PROCEDURES<br />
Enrich Your Life,<br />
Enrich <strong>OLLI</strong><br />
at CSUDH<br />
<strong>OLLI</strong> Waitlist Procedures<br />
NEW!<br />
At the request of <strong>OLLI</strong> Members and to maximize opportunities for<br />
all <strong>OLLI</strong> Members to enroll in courses and events, <strong>OLLI</strong>@CSUDH has<br />
implemented a Waitlist Procedure.<br />
1. What are waitlists?<br />
If a course enrollment reaches capacity, members can place<br />
themselves on a waitlist and will be notified if a spot in the class<br />
becomes available. When you register by phone or in-person<br />
you will immediately know what courses are full and what<br />
course are available.<br />
2. How do I waitlist for a course / event?<br />
Follow your current enrollment procedure (1st page of catalog’s<br />
gold pages). If the course or event is full, ask to be placed on<br />
the waitlist. Registration will place the member in the next<br />
chronological waitlist space.<br />
3. How will I know if I am can get into the class?<br />
After the first day of class or when space becomes available<br />
(whichever comes first), you will be notified through email by<br />
an <strong>OLLI</strong> Staff member. <strong>OLLI</strong> Staff will contact the members in<br />
chronological waitlist order advising them of space available.<br />
Members have until the next class to enroll.<br />
4. Is there a charge to be placed on a waitlist?<br />
No. You will not be charged any fees for courses or events for<br />
which you are waitlisted. You are only charged when you are<br />
fully enrolled.<br />
5. How can I do my part?<br />
Make space for others. If you are unable to attend a course,<br />
please cancel through <strong>OLLI</strong> Registration at (310) 243-3741 or<br />
contact the <strong>OLLI</strong> Office through email at olli@csudh.edu<br />
So, registering early—even for courses or events that are already<br />
full—is the best way to get into the courses you really want.<br />

CODES OF CONDUCT<br />
<strong>OLLI</strong>@CSUDH<br />
Codes of Conduct<br />
NEW!<br />
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at California State University,<br />
Dominguez Hills (<strong>OLLI</strong>@CSUDH) is a community of active<br />
mature lifelong learners. The College of Extended and International<br />
Education (CEIE) is committed to maintaining a safe<br />
and healthy learning environment for <strong>OLLI</strong> Members, students,<br />
faculty, and staff. Many of our programs offer a forum for a lively<br />
and sometimes passionate exchange of views. Members of our<br />
learning community are expected to follow principles of courtesy<br />
and mutual respect that promote reasoned discourse and engage<br />
in responsible behaviors that reflect well upon the university.<br />
To be civil to one another, to others in the campus community,<br />
and contribute positively to <strong>OLLI</strong> Members, students, faculty,<br />
staff, and university life.<br />
Violations include conduct that threatens or endangers the<br />
health or safety of any person within or related to the University<br />
community, including but not limited to physical abuse, threats,<br />
intimidation, harassment, sexual misconduct, denigrating others’<br />
views or opinions, offensive or abusive language, disruptive<br />
classroom conduct, discrimination, and monopolizing discussions.<br />
Failure to treat ideas, viewpoints, the classroom environment,<br />
and interests of members in the community with respect and<br />
civility compromises the intellectual climate at <strong>OLLI</strong> and cannot<br />
be tolerated.<br />
The <strong>OLLI</strong> Director and CEIE leadership are responsible for ensuring<br />
that the Code of Conduct is being followed in all <strong>OLLI</strong>-sponsored<br />
programs. Members who do not adhere to these principles or<br />
interfere with the goals of our learning community may be<br />
removed from the class and/or activities and denied the privilege<br />
of future participation at the discretion of the <strong>OLLI</strong> Director<br />
and CEIE Leadership.<br />
