Classical Gas: The Glorious Time of Haydn, Mozart and BeethovenMusicologists havedivided the long andcomplicated history ofmusic into a half-dozenperiods, starting withthe Medieval and cul-minating in theRomantic and ModernEras. Nestled in themiddle sits the so-called Classical Era—abrief period at the very end of the 18th century.Absolutely crucial to music’s development,these were the heady days of Haydn, Mozartand the irrepressible Beethoven. Their remark-able talents emerged during a tumultuous timein Europe, when change was in the air. The Ageof Enlightenment fueled these composers’musical experiments, resulting in changes thatwould impact music-makers and audiences forgenerations. In this brisk, three-session course,examine the true Classical Era, focusing on theworks of these three masters, as you explorethe life and times of Vienna in the late 1700s.Check out music by other notable composersof that day: Gluck, C.P.E. Bach, Salieri andothers. Trace the development of the symphony,concerto, string quartet and keyboard sonata—and uncover the secrets of such popular musi-cal forms as rondo, scherzo and sonata-allegro.Then, attend a Colorado Symphony concert atthe Newman Center for the Performing Arts,featuring a Haydn Cello Concerto and Mozart’sbeloved Symphony No. 40. 10% discount toSymphony and Newman Center subscribers.

The Art of Georgia O’Keeffe: Seven Decades of OriginalityLong in the shadows of the rapid-fire,European avant-garde movements of the early20th century, modern art was slow to advanceon U.S. shores. In early quasi-abstract water-colors made around 1916, and soon after in herworks on canvas, Georgia O’Keeffe developedan original approach that quickly launched hercareer among the school of “early Americanmodernists” centered around photographerAlfred Steiglitz’s art gallery “291” in lowerManhattan. Dean Sobel reviews American artaround the dawn of the 20th century, consider-ing O’Keeffe’s work alongside her mostly malepeers. How did they stand apart from theirEuropean contemporaries? What made their artboth “modern” and “American”? Deborah

Howard then examines O’Keeffe’swork from the point of view of anartist and art educator who hasspent considerable time painting

What does it mean to be tolerant? Thatdifferences are acknowledged, but not embraced? Or, that differences shouldbe not only acknowledged but also celebrated? In class one, consider theseconcepts in a historical-philosophical context with philosopher/instructor Janet

Rumfelt. Next, discuss our own community’s role in a historic tragedy with DU anthropologistBonnie Clark, whose archeological research examines daily life in Colorado’s Amache IntermentCamp where thousands of Japanese Americans were incarcerated without trial. How is this rele-vant today? Finally, Sarah Pessin, director of DU’s Center for Judaic Studies, leads a discussion of20th century philosopher Emmanuel Levinas (1906–1995), who suggested that tolerance gives wayto Infinite Responsibility—we are each called not only to tolerate difference, but to serve thosewho are different from ourselves.

relaxed setting that fits perfectly with a busyschedule. Our instructor, Marc Shulgold, is well educated, impressively experienced in the field, and passionate about the course

topics each week. Each of us find ourselves signing on to quench our curiosity

and the contagious enthusiasm our instructor brings to the classroom and concert that follows each course.

~Kimberly Evans, a student in From Perotin to Poulenc (French composers)

Shari Caudron's reading assignments andinput from class participants have helpedclarify the path I must follow to complete myown writing projects. Attending Terry Tempest

Williams' talk was a bonus.

~Sharon Guenther, a student in Literary Nonfiction

The knowledge and expertise of the instruc-tors always provide a valuable framework incontent and style to facilitate learning—and Ialways come away being more informed andwanting more! The Political Issues class provided a snapshot of current systems andpolicies and was extremely beneficial.

Any one of the six topics could be a subject for a future class by itself.

Tattered Cover Book Store Denver SeriesOne Night Only! An Evening with Author Michael Pollan In conjunction with Tattered Cover Book Store, the EnrichmentProgram is proud to host best-selling author Michael Pollan on theDU campus. Join us for this one-night event to celebrate the publi-cation of Pollan’s newest work Cooked, coming out this spring.

In Cooked, Michael Pollan explores the previously uncharted territoryof his own kitchen where he discovers the enduring power of the fourclassical elements—fire, water, air and earth—to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Cooked becomes aninvestigation of how cooking involves us in a web of social and eco-logical relationships: with plants and animals, the soil, farmers, ourhistory and culture, and, of course, the people our cooking nourishesand delights. Cooking, above all, connects us. The effects of not cooking are similarly far-reaching. Relying upon corporations toprocess our food means we consume huge quantities of fat, sugar and salt; disrupt an essential link to the natural world; and weaken our relationships with family and friends. In fact, Cooked argues,taking back control of cooking may be the single most important stepanyone can take to help make the American food system healthier andmore sustainable.

Come with questions, as Pollan’s presentation concludes with an audience Q&A. Admissionincludes a copy of Cooked. A book signing follows the program.

Cheeky Monk Belgian Beer Café Denver SeriesBruges and Brews: Art and Beer in Flanders

From its historic Trappist monastic breweries to its array of splendidart and architecture, Flanders boasts preeminence in many artisticfields, though perhaps none more divergent than the odd couple of finebrewing and oil painting. We invite you to explore the rich culturalheritage of this region by combining into one course Belgium’s artisticrichness, beer-brewing superiority and tasty culinary traditions. WhileBelgian brewing superiority dates back as far as the 12th century, theregion’s other greatest artistic achievements are arguably the paintingsproduced in the 15th century—most notably in Bruges by artists suchas Hans Memling and Jan van Eyck whose stunningly naturalisticGhent Altarpiece is widely considered one of the greatest and mostfamous paintings of Western Art. Leading your journey through tinyFlanders is DU Art History Professor Scott Montgomery. Learn somehistory of the region with a particular focuson the urban topography, including architec-tural monuments, and artistic culture in

Bruges. Also survey other major centers, such as Brussels, Ghent,Antwerp and their sites of historic and artistic interest.

Once class-time is over, it’s time to test your taste buds! Head toDenver’s Cheeky Monk Belgian Beer Café for a beer-tasting diningexperience led by owner, James Pachorek, who was recently knighted inBelgium for his work promoting Belgian brewing. Awaiting you will bea delectable, authentic menu of Frites Aioli with House seasoning(CM’s specialty, traditional Belgian style frites tossed in house season-ing and served with dipping sauce); Carbonnade Flamande (traditionalBelgian sweet stewed beef, bacon and onions with Belgian beer servedover specialty frites); award-winning, steamed mussels served with spe-cial dipping sauce; and Belgian Liege-Style Waffles. Last but not least,on tap to complement the traditional fare of Flanders will be Cuvee desJacobins Rouge, Gulden Draak, Kwak and Tripel Karmeliet—in short,Belgian Beer. Did you know that many are served in their own person-alized glasses? The fun evening includes James’ own must-see destina-tions. Might a brewery be on the list?

China and the United States: The World’sMost Important Bilateral RelationshipChina was a frequent topic of debate during thelead up to last fall’s presidential election, withboth President Obama and Mitt Romney criti-cizing the People’s Republic for “stealing”American jobs and manipulating currency.What is the current state of U.S.-China rela-tions, and did such harsh talk further damagethis already tenuous relationship? How doChina’s problems with Japan, Taiwan, NorthKorea, Tibet and others affect U.S. relations?Join Jing Sun, assistant professor of PoliticalScience and expert on Chinese politics, toexamine what is allegedly the world’s most

important bilateralrelations—the UnitedStates-China relation-ship—and the twopowers’ competitionfor global leadership.

The world’s two biggest economies, China andAmerica are also each other’s major tradingpartner. Further complicating relations is thefact that China is the largest holder of U.S.government debt. Will the Chinese economyovertake its American counterpart in the next15 to 20 years, as most economists are predict-ing? How might that affect bilateral trade? Andwhat about China’s record on human rights andone-child policy? While discussing these con-tentious issues, consider how ideological differ-ences between the two countries factor in,become more aware of the controversies asso-ciated with promoting power in internationalrelations, and better understand the criticalrelationship between these two world powers.

Fromthe “fiscal cliff” to the solvency of Medicareand Social Security, the airwaves are literallyfilled with talk of deficits and debt. By the timethis course begins, we will know whether ourelected leaders are capable of creating any kindof functional fiscal policy—or we will haveplunged off the so-called “fiscal cliff” and intoan uncertain economic future. Under the guid-ance of Kevin Archer, lecturer in InternationalPolitical Economy, examine the political econ-omy of America’s fiscal challenges with an eyetoward both the historical record and possiblefuture solutions. Discuss the persistence ofAmerican deficits over the past 40 years, thesize and rate of growth of the U.S. nationaldebt, issues of stimulus and austerity, and thequestion of entitlements as a function ofAmerica’s fiscal crisis. How does a politicalclimate of hyper partisanship contribute to ourcountry’s economic challenges? Does a com-promise between the President and Congressnecessarily point us down a sustainable path?Except for death and taxes, is there any certain-ty to America’s fiscal future?

Philosophy & EthicsNo Black and White: Biomedical Ethics in the 21st CenturySome of our biggest medical ethics questionstoday are wrapped in morals, drenched in poli-tics, and dissected with an eye to the future; ifwe follow this slippery slope now, what havocwill we wreak upon the future? Join DUphilosopher/lawyer Jeff Brown as he leads acritical examination of the moral issues arisingout of medical practice and medical experimen-tation in our society. The class will focus onfour main themes: ethical issues at the begin-ning of life, ethical issues at the end of life, theright to health care, and the future of medicineand health care. Respectfully engage in discus-sions of abortion, in-vitro fertilization, stemcell research, physician-assisted suicide,cloning and disability.

Social Sciences“CSI” Meets “Criminal Minds”: High-Risk Offenders and Their Prey

When it comes to violent criminals, is there any way to knowHOW and WHEN or WHO? Consider these questions andmore in this course highlighting the art and science of offend-er risk assessment, crime scene analysis and criminal profil-ing. Myths, largely popularized by TV shows such as “CSI”and “Criminal Minds,” will be separated from the practicalapplications of forensic knowledge. Join three recognizedexperts from intersecting forensic disciplines for an intriguingstep-by-step study of cases that would keep you awake at

night. Begin with nationally recognized police psychologist John Nicoletti. From profiling to vio-lence risk assessment, John discusses techniques for detection and disruption of the attack progres-sion. What were the red flags in these cases? Move on to the psychology of the offender with KimGorgens, clinical associate professor in DU’s highly regarded Forensic Psychology graduate pro-gram and an expert in the psychology of criminal behavior. Explore the criminogenic risk factorsand the neurophysiology of the criminal’s brain. Why doesn’t televi-sion-style “profiling” work, and what does? Then, it’s on to PhilDanielson, DU professor of Forensics and science advisor for theNational Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center.Utilizing real evidentiary material, Phil explains how the evidencewas gathered, the tools and technologies used in and out of the crimelab, and how scientists reconstruct and solve complex crimes. Allthree instructors come together in the final session to offer counter-points to the issues presented and field audience Q&A. Don’t beafraid to ask the tough questions!

Changing Your Mind About the World:An Unconventional Path toPersonal PeaceImagine a life without suffering. Not that badthings have stopped happening in the world orin your personal life. But because your orienta-tion to them has changed. Your orientation toyourself has changed. ~Jan Frazier

What if there was a way of looking at theworld that radically shifted our perspective?That allowed us to experience the ups anddowns of everyday living with equanimity andpeace? What if we could look at things—goodand bad, big and small—with new eyes? JoinPaula K. Staffeldt, licensed professional coun-selor and ordained ministerial counselor, for an
