    OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE @ BRANDEIS BOLLI: Spring Term 2013 Preparation times are estimated per week. If handouts are listed as readings, reimbursement for copies will be made to the Study Group Leader; arrangements for this will be made in the class. eBoards are online communication and information tools available to study groups. If they are being used in a course, they are listed in the course descriptions. If you expect to be absent for three or more weeks during the semester, please read the course descriptions carefully. Courses where the SGL has indicated the importance of regular attendance are not appropriate for you. Please select an alternative. H&G6-10-Tu1 The Birth of American Imperialism Leader - Ron Levy Tuesday – Course Period 1 – 9:00 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. Description Five U.S. Presidents in a 20-year period, from Harrison to Taft, embarked on active territorial incursions and international strategies that had significant implications for our foreign policy in the 20th century. James Bradley in his book, The Imperial Cruise levels serious accusations of a racist leadership that pursued an American Aryan philosophy as it “followed the sun to the West.” Although a lauded historian, he wrote this book in more of a journalistic style which makes for enjoyable and often surprising reading. Reviews have been both favorable and critical of his controversial treatment of the subject. How legitimate are Bradley’s claims? What is the background to our territorial incursions in Asia-Pacific, and to what extent were they an extension of our similar activities in the Americas? How did they relate to the concurrent activities of other major powers? To what extent were our actions examples of regime change or of nation building? What were some of the positive and negative outcomes of our policies? Did some of our actions really lead to World War II in the Pacific? We will examine the then-recent history of Hawai’i, Cuba, Panama, the Philippines, China, Korea and Japan, and the U.S.’s relations with those countries, as the U.S.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

  • Antonia Louisa Brico Was Born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1902. Little Is Known About Her Birth Parents, Johannes and Antonia (Shaaken) Brico, Who Died When She Was Two
    Antonia Louisa Brico was born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1902. Little is known about her birth parents, Johannes and Antonia (Shaaken) Brico, who died when she was two. Mr. and Mrs. John Wolthuis (mother’s first name unknown) became her foster parents. In 1907, she emigrated with them to Oakland, California attending school as Wilhelmina Wolthuis, the name they had given her. The Wolthuis home was not a happy environment. Antonia later said: “I’d dream about having an automobile accident in front of someone’s house just so they’d pick me up and be affectionate.” She began piano lessons at age 10 after a doctor suggested this remedy to overcome her nail biting. Soon she was performing at local churches and club meetings. Her original ambition to become a concert pianist changed when she attended a park concert conducted by Paul Steindorff. Rather than limit herself to one instrument, she decided to become a conductor. She later said: “The orchestra to me is the greatest instrument. It is to the musician what the palette is to a painter.” After her high school graduation in 1919, Mr. and Mrs. Wolthuis revealed for the first time that they were not her birth parents. Antonia immediately moved out and had no further contact with them. Antonia enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley. As luck would have it, Paul Steindorff, who had inspired her conducting ambitions, was director of music and, more importantly, director of the San Francisco Opera. Antonia became his assistant. When she received a B.A. with honors in music in 1923, people advised her to teach; a position awaited her, and conducting was no job for a woman.
