“I love these lectures—it is great to be retired and keep going to classes. Learning never ends!”

Some comments from members of Fresno State’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute:

“What an opportunity to learn...fascinating.”

“This is the first course I’ve attended—I’m a new member. I’m very impressed.”

“Entertaining and enlightening”

“Absolutely the most riveting speaker I’ve heard.”

Bernard Osher, a patron of education and the arts, is well known as “the quiet philanthropist.” He created the Bernard Osher Foundation in 1977

which seeks to improve quality of life through support for higher education and the arts. The Foundation supports a growing national network of lifelong learning institutes for older adults, operating on campuses of nearly 120 col-leges and universities from Maine to Hawaii.

When asked by the Wall Street Journal what he hoped his commitment and investment would inspire, Mr. Osher responded, “My idea from the start was to improve the lives of older adults by providing them with opportunities for learning new subjects, sharing ideas, and participating fully in a rapidly chang-ing world. The comments of Osher Institute members are what inspire me.”

Libraries, Liberty and the Case for Intellectual FreedomMonday, October 20 • 3:30 pm – 5 pm

Parking in Lots J, N, O and P (see map in this brochure)

In our often harried society, the concept of civic space has

largely disappeared. Indoor shopping malls, privately owned,

have today supplanted the public square. This talk explores how

libraries in America are now the last bastions of a civic space

left in the nation. They have become de facto the public square

of old, open and free to all as a communal place for intellectual

discovery, freedom of expression, and unfettered access to infor-

mation which is so critical for an

informed citizenry. Peter McDon-

ald, M.L.S., became the Dean of

Library Services, Henry Madden

Library, in 2007 after serving as

the Associate University Librar-

ian for Collection Services at

Syracuse University from 1999 to

2006. Among other professional

positions, he was Director of the

Geneva Agriculture Library at

Cornell University, bibliographer

for the Native American Col-

lection at the New York Public Library, and the co-founder of

Modern Productions, Too Tall Guys Productions, a firm providing

music industry promotion and production. His research and

publications have been in the areas of E-Journals, music rights

and the digital age, the selection of digital resources, and Native

Americans. He is a published poet, book collector, and

outdoorsman.

Satellite Student Union

Parking in Lots J, N, O and P (see map in this brochure)

Authors Mas Masumoto and Nikiko Masumoto present

an afternoon of family stories—exploring the relation-

ship between father/daughter, old and young, generation to

generation. They will share stories from Mas’ books and Fresno

Bee columns, some co-written with Nikiko. The presentation

promises to be entertaining as well as engaging. David Mas

Masumoto is an organic peach and grape farmer and the author

of four books including:

Heirlooms, Letters to the

Valley, Four Seasons in

Five Senses, Harvest Son,

and Epitaph for a Peach.

He received the “Award

of Distinction” from UC

Davis in 2003 and the

California Central Valley

“Excellence in Business”

Award in 2007. Daugh-

ter Nikiko Masumoto first learned to love food as a young girl

slurping the nectar of overripe organic peaches on the Masu-

moto Family Farm. Since then she has never missed a harvest.

She recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Gen-

der and Women’s Studies; now she lives with her grandparents

and works alongside her father on the farm. As a young person

deeply concerned with justice, sustainability, and art, Nikiko

hopes to be a voice for a new generation of organic farmers.

There are only two museums

in the U.S. solely devoted to

in nearby Hanford. A hidden

treasure in the Valley, this lecture

will address its history and de-

velopment and introduce some

of the masterpieces of the collection. Furthermore, it will

give a look behind the scenes and discuss the challenges of

dealing with Japanese art professionally, like questions of art

handling and conservation. Director/Chief Curator Andreas

Marks, a German citizen, has been studying East Asian art at

the university level for fifteen years. He earned his master’s

degree from the University of Bonn in Germany and is in the

last step of receiving his doctorate in Japanese Studies from

Leiden University in the Netherlands. His area of specializa-

tion is nineteenth century Japanese woodblock prints and he

has published widely in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.

Egypt: Yesterday and Today with A. Sameh El Kharbawy,

Ph.D. (Part 1) and James Mullooly, Ph.D. (Part 2)

Part 1 of this course will look at the culture of modern Egypt through two of its most vibrant markers: art and architec-

ture.

Part 2 covers Egypt To-day: A Society in Transition. Its reputation as one of the “cradles of civilization” makes for an ideal backdrop to discuss Egypt’s contemporary society and customs. The last two sessions of this course will focus upon life in Egypt today. Dr. A. Sameh El Kharbawy is an architect, designer, cultural critic and Professor of Art and Design at California State University, Fresno, where he coordinates the Study Abroad Program in Egypt and the Middle East Studies Program.

Great Presidential Campaigns with Allen Carden, Ph.D.

Every four years, the American people go a little crazy. Foreign observers don’t know what to make of our behav-

ior and the carnival-like atmosphere that accompanies per-haps the most important decision that the American people make, with implications for the whole world. It is time to hire someone to fill what is arguably the most important job in the world—the American Presidency. In this series of lectures, selected presidential campaigns of the past will be described and analyzed. While the methods of presidential campaigning have undergone drastic changes throughout our history, some things remain amazingly the same. Join us as we look at some great presidential campaigns and elections, and perhaps draw some parallels to the campaign of 2008. Dr. Allen Carden is a professor of history at Fresno Pacific University, teaches part-time at Fresno State, and is a repeat OLLI speaker.

Dreams and Daily Life with Deb Borofka, Ph.D.

Have you ever realized that your dream life might reveal other aspects of yourself and your own life story? Did

you know that even “average” dreams often have a definite structure, not unlike that of a drama? This course consid-ers the dreaming psyche as a means of mapping the terrain of the metaphorical stories that unfold in our dreams, and encourages the practice of dream journaling; guides you to begin attending to the personal unconscious, collective unconscious, and transpersonal themes of your dreams; and to discover written forms for expressing their content. Deb Everson Borofka is a memoirist whose work has appeared in

local papers and e-zines, and can be heard on the public radio program, Valley Writers Read. Her interests include the inter-face of memory and language, personal mythology, individual learning styles as part of personal mythology, and in particu-lar, Women’s Memoir.

Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure with Gregg Dion

“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall”

In Shakespeare’s darkest comedy, when the seat of power in Vienna is given to a paradigm of law and order—Angelo—

his first act is to condemn young Claudio to death for having impregnated his fiance. Measure for Measure is called a “prob-lem play” for good reason: it’s a disturbing blend of bawdy humor and moral philosophy, disguise and self-examination, clowns and executioners, offense and forgiveness. And yet, as a play about the abuse of power, it still resonates today. This short course will follow the process of bringing this intrigu-ing text to life on the modern stage, from script analysis to the history of notable productions to the behind-the-scenes work of designers and performers in this show. Instructor Gregg Dion teaches theatre courses at Fresno State, and has also been a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and at the University of Lodz, Poland. He has designed scenery and pub-lished research on modern productions of Shakespeare plays. Students should obtain a copy of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure in preparation for the short course.

shop as a fulcrum for his creations. His counterculture roots manifest themselves in a school that’s more akin to a commune than an institution of higher learning.
