Celebrating 17 Years of Lifelong Learning! 1 Notes from Beth Welcome to all who love OLLI classes, trips, and events! Some of you have been returning from the early days, seventeen years ago, and now are joined by over one thousand members enrolled each semester. If you are new to OLLI, a warm first time welcome to our community of active lifelong learners. OLLI at UVa continues to welcome increasing numbers of members each year. After all, people age 60 and better are the fastest growing population in the area. OLLI is proud to present this spring 2018 catalog, with more offerings than ever before. This semester features 66 new courses, as well as dozens back by popular demand. There are 27 new instructors in addition to the perennially popular instructors who continue to volunteer their time and enthusiasm. We are expanding to new locations in the Charlottesville region, including Nellysford and Crozet, and select sites on-grounds at the University of Virginia, plus new locations in Staunton and Fishersville. We try to choose locations with convenient access and parking, but some might be challenging for individual members. Please read the directions to your class locations on pages 8 and 44 to be aware of driving distance, parking, and walking descriptions. We all look forward to Registration Day on January 16! Some courses will fill quickly but remember, registration is ongoing until the class meets, so you can register any time after opening day. If a course is full, you can also register and enter the waitlist. Often a few seats open up in courses as the start date approaches. Most members register themselves online, but if you prefer to register by mail, phone, or in-person, please try to do so before registration day. These early registrations are entered, in random order, on the same day the online registration is opened. Those registrations that arrive on registration day or later will be entered after those received prior to registration day. This catalog is chock-full, so any recommended readings or required materials will be published under each course at the online registration site: http://olliuvaregistration.org. Whether you are a long-time member, or new to OLLI at UVa, you can meet some of the new faculty and learn more about the exciting new courses, Outings, Special Presentations, and even social occasions coming up by joining us at “A Taste of OLLI” in Charlottesville, Staunton or Nellysford in January.

Celebrating 17 Years of Lifelong Learning! 3 Winter Session Thursdays, January 18, 25, February 8 at 10:30 a.m. OLLI at UVa in Partnership with Michie Tavern Presents Tales of the University, in Celebration of the Bicentennial: Designed, Defamed, & Destroyed! Thomas Jefferson’s Founding, Edgar Allan Poe at UVA & The 1895 Rotunda Fire

The OLLI Winter Session at Michie Tavern is a time-honored Charlottesville tradition! OLLI at UVa is very pleased to continue this wonderful partnership by offering another special Winter Session lecture-and- lunch series to celebrate the University of Virginia’s Bicentennial. Join us to learn, dine, and socialize in one of Central Virginia’s most beautiful historic settings, where blazing fires will remove the cold winter chill. The 2018 OLLI Winter Session at Michie Tavern will feature a series of talks presented by award-winning historian Rick Britton on three consecutive Thursdays. Since opening its doors in 1825, the University of Virginia—the “hobby” of Jefferson’s old age—has become one of the nation’s most renowned institutions of higher learning. This modern-day status, however, disguises the pains taken in its inception. The University’s founding was a process of many years, much sweat, and considerable debate. A few years later, during the school’s second session, a young scholar enrolled who was destined to pen brilliant poems and dazzling works of fiction. One of his first biographers, however, wrote that Poe, “known as the wildest and most reckless student,” was expelled from UVA. Is that true? In October of 1895, the Charlottesville and UVA community suffered “a catastrophe of the first magnitude,” Winter Session an overpowering inferno that gutted Mr. Jefferson’s gorgeous Rotunda, centerpiece of his “academical village.” Those who battled the blaze for several hours, however, not only saved a number of precious items—including a marble statue of the founder—but also displayed an uncommon degree of heroism. Join us at Michie Tavern for all three lectures, and traditional, colonial Michie Tavern buffet! • Jan. 18 – Designed: Thomas Jefferson & the Founding of the University of Virginia • Jan. 25 – Defamed: Edgar Allan Poe at UVA • Feb. 8 – Destroyed: The 1895 UVA Rotunda Fire The lectures begin at 10:30 a.m. A question-and-answer period follows at 11:15, with lunch at 11:30. The $24.00 fee for each event includes the lecture, lunch with the speaker, a book signing, and a complimentary ticket for a tour of historic Michie Tavern. Using OLLI’s online registration system or the form at the back of this catalog, sign up early to attend one, two, or all lectures and lunches. NOTE: You must be an OLLI member for the spring 2018 semester to participate in the Winter Session. The registration deadline is the Friday before each lecture; no refund requests will be accepted after that day. (Maximum capacity: 75. Snow date: February 15)

To address the “how” of conversing, we will focus on a series of topics: how to start/stop a conversation; how to change direction; what to do when you are bored or overexcited; and how to have that “difficult” conversation. The core of the course will center on practicing conversations in small groups of two, three, or four people. Richard Mason has a BA in American Literature from Middlebury College and a Master of Public Administration from California State University, Hayward. He has devoted his career to business consulting in both the public and private sectors.

They evolved over hundreds of years with much bloodshed, intellectual debate, and trial and error. Their interdependent development was crucial to the success of the Nation State. Developing notions of private property and capitalism would also be indispensable ingredients. Over the course of four lectures, some milestone events will allow us to establish a time line. In the 21st century, the concepts of sovereignty and the rule of law are undergoing challenges facilitated by the internet and social media, giving rise to exponentially multiplied domestic and transnational forces which greatly complicate governance. Some of these forces are weakening their cohesiveness. These forces are being met by nationalist and conservative forces as evidenced by BREXIT, the growth of nationalist parties in Europe, and recent Red State – Blue State election trends in America. We will conclude with a few thoughts on, and discussion of, the future of National Sovereignty and the Nation State. Dr. Williams has received two Master’s degrees and a Doctorate in International Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, a joint Tufts and Harvard program.

B605 Let’s Talk: Conversations About Things That Matter Mac Warford May 3, 10, 17, 24 Thu 10:00-11:30 a.m. The R. R. Smith Center Limit: 20

 NEW  Martin Buber once claimed that “all real living is meeting,” and the hope is that this series of conversations about current issues will be such a meeting place—a place not only to speak, but to listen to others as well. In four sessions, this course aims at creating, even for a brief time, a setting for reading and discussing some op-ed pieces on current issues. The aim is to engage subjects that often divide us, but that are critically important to our society and our own well being. In short, we will deal with civil issues in a civil manner that does not minimize differences or seek an easy consensus. Mac Warford is a theological teacher who has been a member of the faculties of St. Louis University and Union Theological Seminary in New York City, served as a seminary president, and has been a long- time consultant to The Teagle Foundation and Lilly B604 Endowment.
