Director 3 OLLI Fall 2019 General Session Descriptions SEPTEMBER 3 - 4:30 p.m. Satellite Student Union 11 U.S. - Mexico Relations: Wednesday Distant Neighbors or Closer Friends? Dr. Alex Saragoza This lecture will examine three issues that vex the contemporary relationship between Mexico and the United States: the revisions of the former NAFTA accord; immigration and the border wall; and the illicit drug trade. The recent election of a new Mexican president, and the upcoming 2020 presidential contest in the U.S., point toward a testy, tense scenario for the relations between the two nations. The talk will also give specific attention to how the Central Valley figures in this binational context. Dr. Saragoza is a professor emeritus at UC Berkeley and a valley native. SEPTEMBER 3 - 4:30 p.m. Satellite Student Union Stories Written In Bones 18 Dr. Chelsey Juarez Wednesday Bones can tell more than one story about a person. The skeleton, teeth and hair can give insight into a person’s life and help determine the cause of an individual’s death. Forensic anthropologists can even use their research and expertise to determine where a person was born. Dr. Juarez is an assistant professor of anthropology and a practicing forensic anthropologist with 15 years of experience, performing forensic case work in California, North Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, and Missouri. She will provide an overview of what forensic anthropologists do and how they do it. The audience will then see evidence from an adjudicated death penalty case and make their own determinations based on the evidence as honorary forensic anthropologists. OCTOBER 3 - 4:30 p.m. Satellite Student Union 17 Soul Calling: A Photographic Journey Thursday Through the Hmong Diaspora Joel Pickford Photographer/author Joel Pickford will present an informative slide lecture about his eight year project documenting Hmong culture, from the vegetable farms of California to the mountains of Laos. Joel’s book, Soul Calling, follows the exodus of Hmong refugees from the aftermath of the CIA’s secret war in Laos to squalid refugee camps in Thailand, and finally to a challenging new life in America.
