Winter Course DESCRIPTIONS
All
of the Winter 2023 Courses will be held virtually on Zoom. All times listed are in Eastern Standard Time.
An Introduction to Meditation and Its Psychology
Doug Greve, Outside Instructor
Tuesdays, 5pm - 6:15pm (1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/14)
4 Sessions, Somewhat Interactive - A Mixture of Lecture and Discussion
$50
People often meditate to feel more peace and clarity. However, meditation is not easy or straightforward. This class approaches meditation with these challenges in mind. Participants will be taught the basic mechanics of mindfulness-style meditation to understand how meditation leads to beneficial results and to troubleshoot difficulties that arise. The instruction will be a mixture of formal meditation and lectures on psychological theory. The theory is based on Buddhist psychology, but the class will be purely secular (no references to supernatural processes). Appropriate for any level.
Cinematic Visionary: The Films of Krzysztof Kieslowski
Allan Elfant, OLLI Member
Tuesdays, 1pm - 4pm (1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/14)
4 Sessions, Highly Interactive - Lots of Discussion
$100
Krzysztof Kieslowski was an internationally renown filmmaker who is relatively unknown in the United States. His films probe the mysteries of life and the spirituality of existence. Aesthetic and ethical themes often merge in his work. We will explore Kieslowski’s cinematic creativity by viewing four of his films: The Double Life Of Veronique, Three Colors: Blue, Three Colors: White, and Three Colors: Red. Each of our classes will involve viewing a film together followed by a rigorous interactive discussion. Due to the length of the films, sessions will be up to three hours.

Egyptian Sites in Depth
Hannah Male, Tufts Alum
Tuesdays, 1:30pm - 3:30pm (1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/14)
4 Sessions, Minimally Interactive - Mostly Lecture
Ancient Egypt; it evokes the pyramids at Giza, the Step pyramid at Saqqara, and Seti’s temple at Abydos. However, these sites contain much more than these world-famous monuments. This course will take students through the lesser known archaeological wonders of Giza, Saqqara, Abydos, and other sites. Sources utilized will include Google Earth photos, academic articles unearthing current site research and discoveries, and relevant YouTube clips. The class will be mostly lecture. $100
Four Obscure Presidents and Why They Matter
Jon Grogan, Tufts Alum
Thursdays, 10am - 12pm (1/26, 2/2, 2/9, 2/16)
4 Sessions, Somewhat Interactive - A Mixture of Lecture and Discussion
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt (both Theodore and Franklin), and a handful of other U.S. Presidents are household names. Their images appear on money; cities, towns, and schools are named for them, and one, Andrew Jackson, is associated with an entire era or “age.” Their impact on American society is unquestioned. However, there are a handful of lesser-known Chief Executives whose decisions changed the course of American history: Martin Van Buren, James Tyler, James K. Polk, and Rutherford B. Hayes. In a lecture format with many visuals and optional weekly ‘quizzes’, this course will examine their Presidencies and explain “why they matter.” $100
Germinal by Emile Zola
Emese Soos, Tufts Faculty Member
Wednesdays, 1:30pm - 3:30pm (1/25, 2/1, 2/8, 2/15)
4 Sessions, Highly Interactive - Lots of Discussion
Emile Zola (1840-1902) was the last of the great French novelists of the 19th century. He set out to chronicle in fictionalized form “The natural and social history of a family under the Second Empire” (1852-1870) in a cycle of twenty novels, 1871-1893. Germinal (1885), considered his finest novel, depicts life in an impoverished northern French mining $100

Greek Tragedies of Oedipus
Cynthia Thompson, OLLI Member
Tuesdays, 10am - 12pm (1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/14)
4 Sessions, Highly Interactive - Lots of Discussion
The class will read in translation two masterpieces of world literature, the influential tragedies by Sophocles Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus. These have been famous since their origin in classical Athens, when the philosopher Aristotle used them as models in defining the characteristics of tragedy as a literary genre. Following him, we will be appreciating the plays in his ancient terms of plot, characterization, and language, as well as with modern literary methods. The profound issues raised by these tragedies remain central in human experience.
Required Materials: Sophocles - Fagles, translator, The Theban Plays (Antigone, Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus), $8 - new paperback; $3 Kindle; cheaper used copies; https://www.amazon.com/Three-Theban-Plays-Antigone-Oedipus/dp/0140444254/ ref=asc_df_0140444254/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312132076929&hvpos =&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9802554370318022929&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hv dvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002012&hvtargid=pla-345677938463&psc=1 $100

transformation grounded in the wide and deep field of yogic tradition. Students will be guided through what Yoga Nidra teaches are the five levels of being: Physical Body, Energy Body, Emotional Body, Mental Body, and Intuitive/Spiritual Body. In the process, they will have the opportunity to experience becoming more aware, and to explore the deepest place within themselves, their true Self. Participants will be encouraged to find a place to recline or lay down while participating in the course.
Latin American Politics
Jeremiah Anthony, Tufts Alum
Fridays, 10am - 12pm (1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17)
4 Sessions, Somewhat Interactive - A Mixture of Lecture and Discussion
$100
In this course, we will be studying our neighbors to the south. Over the course of the four classes, we will do a survey of the political landscape in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela and Colombia. There will be recommended light reading for each session (no more than 20 pages a week).
Liberating and Uplifting the Peoples of Southern Africa: A Continuing Freedom Struggle
Robert Rotberg, Outside Instructor
Tuesdays, 10am - 12pm (1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/14)
4 Sessions, Highly Interactive - Lots of Discussion
$100
In the first week of this course, we will examine the Colonial Legacy: White Settlers, Segregation, and Apartheid. Following that, we will discuss the Freedom Struggle, specifically Mandela and the triumph of Africans over white supremacy as well as the era of “state capture,” corruption, poor governance, and health pandemics. Lastly, in the fourth week of class, we will learn about restoring good governance: the return of positive leadership and the path forward in 2023. For some recommended background reading, the instructor suggests two Rotberg-authored books --- Things Come Together: Africans Achieving Greatness (OUP, 2020), and Overcoming the Oppressors: White and Black in Southern Africa (OUP, 2023, available just as the course begins).

Native Americans and the Constitution: A Very Short Introduction
Daniel Cooper, Tufts Graduate Student
Mondays, 10am - 12pm (1/23, 1/30, 2/6, 2/13)
4 Sessions, Somewhat Interactive - A Mixture of Lecture and Discussion
$100
The US Constitution centers two sovereignties in its structure and text: the federal government and the states. Left largely out of the text but influencing and affecting virtually every facet of constitutional law, and indeed law in general, are Native Americans. And Native Americans, in turn, are affected by constitutional law, every day. This course will provide a very brief overview of the place of Native Americans and other indigenous peoples in our constitutional and legal system.
The Haunted Mind: Rediscovering Shirley Jackson
Alisa Wolf, OLLI Member
Mondays, 1:30pm - 3:30pm (2/6, 2/13)
2 Sessions, Highly Interactive - Lots of Discussion
$50
Until recently, Shirley Jackson’s short story, The Lottery (1948), was better known than its author. Now, her books are back in print and are making movies based on them. Together we will read her final novel, We Have Always Lived in the Castle (146 pages). We will discuss Jackson’s life and times, including her struggles to balance her writing life with her life as a faculty wife and mother of four, and look closely at how she chills her readers by implicating us all in the casual cruelty and violence of normal, everyday life.
Required Materials: Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, 13.59; https:// www.amazon.com/Always-Castle-Penguin-Classics-Deluxe/dp/0143039970/ref=asc_ df_0143039970?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920805174404&hvn etw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520391386848&psc=1

They Died with Their Boots On: Custer, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and Hollywood
Jon Grogan, Tufts Alum
Wednesdays, 10am - 12pm (1/25, 2/1, 2/8, 2/15)
4 Sessions, Somewhat Interactive - A Mixture of Lecture and Discussion
Military history is replete with heroic last stands, including Thermopylae, Masada, the Alamo, and Isandlwana. Hollywood has immortalized some of the most famous last stands. Arguably, the most famous last stand in American history occurred in June 1876 near the Little Bighorn River in Montana between Native Americans and the Seventh Calvary led by George Armstrong Custer. The battle, popularly known as Custer’s Last Stand, has been dramatized in at least two dozen films. Like American society, Hollywood’s interpretation of the battle and its combatants have evolved, reflecting changes in attitudes toward Native Americans, westward expansion, and the legends of its key participants. In a lecture format with many visuals and optional weekly “quizzes”, this course will examine how Hollywood has presented the battle and its combatants through the years and how these interpretations have mirrored changes in the public’s perception of American history.
Tyrants: Past and Present
Shannon Moryl, Tufts Alum
Thursdays, 4pm - 6pm (1/19*, 1/26, 2/2, 2/9)
*Pleasenotethatfirstmeetingofthiscourseispriortotheofficialstartofthewinterterm. 4 Sessions, Highly Interactive - Lots of Discussion
What does it mean to be a tyrant, and what qualifications can we use to identify tyrants in the world today? This course will attempt to define and characterize tyrants by studying infamous tyrants of the past. We will then examine controversial leaders in the world today who are criticized by some as tyrants and praised by others as reformers. Using our checklist of characteristics, we will determine if these leaders are tyrants.

Visiting Unusual Museums Virtually: Memorializing Life, Death, In Between, And Beyond
Margaret Lourie, OLLI Member
Fridays, 1:30pm - 3:30pm (1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17)
4 Sessions, Minimally Interactive - Mostly Lecture
Collectors worldwide have been fascinated by varied and wide-ranging aspects of human life and all that surrounds it, and many have created museums to celebrate and publicize their particular interests. In this study group, we will pay short virtual visits to a number of these extraordinary memorials (some serious, some less so), to life, death, and human creations. We will visit museums dedicated to food, entertainment, legends, tools, the human body, sex, death... and more. Come and join us as we explore some of the fascinating spaces that have been created out of the passions of collectors. This course has previously been offered in the Fall of 2021.
What is Love?
Jiamin Li & Nayun Eom, Tufts Students
Mondays, 10am - 12pm (1/23, 1/30, 2/6, 2/13)
4 Sessions, Highly Interactive - Lots of Discussion
What is love? Love as a deeply personal experience shapes our lives in substantial ways, but there is an elusive quality to it. Our hazy understandings of all of the forms of love — familial, platonic, romantic, communal, and more — fundamentally shape our actions not just in relationships that are interpersonal, but also innate within oneself and with society at large. In this course, we will discuss how definitions of love are formed through larger systems, such as capitalism, feminism, and family structures. We will build upon readings and reflections on our lived experiences of love.

Wittgenstein: Why is He so Confusing?
Joyce Carpenter, OLLI Member
Wednesdays, 10am - 12pm (1/25, 2/1, 2/8, 2/15)
4 Sessions, Somewhat Interactive - A Mixture of Lecture and Discussion
$100
This class will be an introduction to an important, early 20th-century philosopher: Ludwig Wittgenstein. Early in his career, he wrote an important work on the philosophy of logic, language and mind. Later, he changed his mind about most of what he’d thought earlier, which makes him a difficult figure to understand. We’ll use Ray Monk’s text, How to Read Wittgenstein, to guide us through both the early and late Wittgensteins, supplemented by excerpts from his major works.
Required Materials: Ray Monk, How to Read Wittgenstein, $15.00; https://www.amazon. com/How-Read-Wittgenstein/dp/0393328201/ref=sr_1_1
World’s Great Rivers: The Mekong & the Yellow River
Linda Agerbak & Ellen Kitzis, OLLI Members
Mondays, 1:30pm - 3:30pm (1/23, 1/30)
2 Sessions, Minimally Interactive - Mostly Lecture
How are these majestic international rivers and their inhabitants threatened by deforestation, political corruption, poverty, pollution, and dams? What are the consequences of drought & floods? How do governments or multiple provinces manage economic development? Problems of weak governance and interstate conflict affect future decisions. In this study group we will look at how these issues impact the mighty Mekong and Yellow Rivers. Background reading and/or videos will be distributed prior to class. No prior knowledge is expected. The course will be primarily lecture with some discussion. $50
