very time you read the Enrichment Program catalog, you will find something new. We keep

the program fresh for people just like you—people with insatiable curiosity who just can’t

stop learning. And each year we welcome you and 1,500 other adults to our beautiful cam-

pus—to explore topics of special interest, develop new skills, or just think deep thoughts.

Over the past eight years we’ve discovered what you like: hand-picked scholars, controversial

topics, serious discussion, and classes that often include a special experience or event—with no

grades, exams, or admission requirements! It keeps us hopping to meet the high expectations of

such an engaged audience.

As always, we offer a wide selection of nearly 50 courses in the humanities, current issues, and

more. Note in particular An Evening with Former Ambassador to Iraq, Christopher Hill, dean of

the Korbel School of International Studies. He addresses U.S. Policy in the Middle East and in

East Asia and lessons learned during recent wars. Go further back in history to explore Lincoln’s

political legacy to our state, or “Molly” Brown’s Denver approximately a century later. Both

history courses are accompanied by Newman Center Presents performances, bringing landmark

events vividly to life.

On the lighter side, a few tough choices may await you among the exceptional writing, art, litera-

ture, music and theater offerings! Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, Star of Animal Planet’s Emergency Vets,returns for an evening of laughter, animal insights, and education. (Snakes and spiders and …

hedgehogs? Oh my.) It also might be difficult to decide between two very tempting regional Italian

menus from Il Posto, one of 5280 Magazine’s “Top 25 Best Restaurants of 2011.” Speaking of

Italian, would you like to hitch a ride on our five-session journey through Rome?

Finally, Focus Forward: Reinventing Career and Retirement continues after a successful launch

last term. Designed for career professionals age 50+, the program will help you navigate through

this crucial transitional point in your work life. Does this speak to you? Did you miss it the first

time around? We hope to see you at our info session on Saturday, January 7. (See pages 17-20 for

details.)

Some people find that one particular course to match a specific interest; others take several classes

each term that, over the years, add up to an important accumulation of new knowledge. Don’t

apologize if you just can’t stop learning. We have support groups for people like you: they’re

called Enrichment courses. Enroll and enjoy!

Opera ColoradoLaughing with Mozart: Figaro and OtherWhimsical WorksJoseph Haydn said of

his friend and lodge

Amadeus Mozart, “The

greatest composer known to me, in

person, or by name.” However, even a genius

can have a lighter side, and Mozart knew well

how to let his music laugh. Join music histori-

an Betsy Schwarm to explore Mozart’s life and

his more whimsical works, including his comic

operas The Marriage of Figaro and The MagicFlute, his serenade A Little Night Music, his

piano variations on “Twinkle, Twinkle Little

Star,” his Bassoon Concerto, his Piano Sonata

“for Beginners” (actually a very challenging

piece), and his divertimento A Musical Joke.

who joins you in class one evening for Q&A

and to share his thoughts about the production,

including the challenges and delights of bring-

ing Mozart to the stage. Then, indulge your

The Colorado SymphonyThe Reluctant Romantic: Johannes BrahmsAll around him, Brahms could see that the

world of 19th-century Europe was changing.

Wagner and Liszt were all the rage with their

exciting new music that thumbed an arrogant

nose at anything “old-fashioned.” But Brahms

stood his ground, embracing the glorious

Baroque and Classical traditions of

Beethoven, Bach,

Handel and

Mozart—penning

compositions that brilliantly honored

music’s past while engaging with its tumul-

tuous present. Join perennially popular

Enrichment instructor Marc Shulgold to pay

loving homage to Brahms, the man—with

those piercing blue eyes and self-deprecating

wit—and Brahms, the composer of so many

beloved masterpieces. Explore the whole range

of Brahms’ music: piano pieces, chamber

works, sacred and secular vocal pieces and, of

course, the concertos and symphonies.

Conclude with a concert by the

Colorado Symphony featuring

Brahms’ gorgeous Double Concerto,

a work intended to patch up a friend-

ship nearly destroyed by an ugly

divorce. CO Symphony principals

and “Double” soloists Yumi Hwang-

Williams and Silver Ainomäe join

you in class one evening with instru-

ments in-hand for an up-close-and-

personal preview. Concert ticket included. 10%

A Man of Contradictions: The RemarkableLife and Music of Gustav MahlerWhen Mahler declared that the symphony

“must contain everything,” he wasn’t kidding.

In their massive sweep, his

nine completed symphonies

tackle such imposing subjects

as The Meaning of Life, The

Quest for Perfection

and Man’s Place in the

Universe. Each composition

carries on for more than an hour.

But they contain some of music’s great-

est thrills, along with a bunch of neat little

tunes. Favorite Enrichment classical music

instructor Marc Shulgold brings Mahler down

to earth and unlocks the mysteries of his sym-

phonies and song cycles. Discover how

Mahler’s infatuation with nature and the inno-

cent charms of Germanic folklore inspired him

to create works of child-like optimism along-

side others weighty with hopelessness and

despair. Here was a man of contradic-

tions—a guy ripe for psychoanalysis.

In fact, he and Sigmund Freud went

for a four-hour stroll one day to work

through some of Mahler’s issues.

Learn more about that as you explore

his extraordinary music and remark-

able life perpetually filled with profes-

sional conflicts, passionate romance

and heart-breaking tragedy. Then,

attend a performance of his gigantic Symphony

A Sea Symphony: Words and Music byWalt Whitman and Ralph Vaughn WilliamsWalt Whitman’s poetry

was celebrated by

English poets and

intellectuals when he

was still considered

rather scandalous in the U.S. Inspired by their

focus on comradeship and community, and his

exuberant poetic line, composer Ralph

Vaughan Williams began by using Whitman’s

verse for lyrics to a collection of songs.

Eventually these grew into the full length ASea Symphony for voice and chorus. Learn

about poet and composer and how this great

work came to be under the guidance of

American poetry specialist Shawn Alfrey and

Colorado Symphony Conductor Scott O’Neil.

First discover Whitman, a newspaperman

turned poet. Consider the development of his

poetic style and subject matter, with particular

attention to his poetic “songs” and how they

reflected the American politics and art of his

times. Then journey across the Atlantic for a

focus on Vaughan Williams, who was sur-

rounded by the influence of composers Edward

Elgar and Maurice Ravel. At age 30 he began a

work that grew into one of the few symphonies

with a full choir integrated into the musical

texture throughout four movements. Explore

the musical content in a nontechnical way and

discover what makes this music so compelling

as a description of the sea, the beach and the

waves. Note how it portrays and enhances the

power of Whitman’s poetry! Concert ticket

included. 10% discount to Colorado Symphony

Curious Theatre Company and Denver Art MuseumBeyond Still: Rothko, Motherwell and Abstract ExpressionismSometime during the 1940s, while war was waging in

Europe and Asia, the center of the art world quietly shifted

to New York City where a small group of loosely affiliated

artists created a stylistically diverse body of work that came

to be called “Abstract Expressionism.” Breaking away from

accepted conventions in both subject matter and technique, artists

such as Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell, William

de Kooning and Mark Rothko made monumentally scaled works that

reflected energetic and dynamic gesture. Following the opening of the

Clyfford Still Museum last fall, Denver continues its fascination with

Abstract Expressionism through two more related events, the Denver Art Museum exhibit of some

20 works by Robert Motherwell and the Curious Theatre Company’s production of the Tony-

award winning Best Play, RED, the portrait of the troubled but brilliant mind of Mark Rothko. Join

popular Enrichment instructor and Director of the Clifford Still Museum, Dean Sobel, to explore

the range and power of Rothko, Motherwell and other Abstract Expressionists including Arshile

Gorky, Barnett Newman, Frank Kline, de Kooning and, of course, Clyfford Still. Discover the ori-

gins, artists and influences of this important movement in American art, then supplement and

apply what you learn in class through the exhibit and play. Tickets included. 10% discount to

The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: FromAncient History to Modern RoadblocksThe Palestinian-Israeli conflict, arguably one of

the longest-lasting and misunderstood conflicts

in the world, continues to invoke a wide range

of emotions and beliefs—both political and

religious—for many people. Like many before

it, the Obama administration set its sights on

achieving peace in the Middle East, but the

collision of ancient and modern history and

opposing beliefs continue to

stalemate peace talks. Iman

Jodeh, former co-director of

DU’s Student Interfaith Peace

Project, explores the importance

of this small strip of land, from

its ancient historical roots to modern road-

blocks to peace. Is solving the Palestinian-

Israeli conflict the solution

to U.S. relations in the

region? Will Palestinians

and Israelis witness their

own “Arab Spring?” Is the

conflict purely political or

completely religious? Gain

further perspective at the Denver Center

Theatre performance of Two Things You Don’tTalk About at Dinner, a comical story about a

Passover Seder dinner among family and

friends that takes a serious turn when the con-

versation turns to the Palestinian-Israeli con-

flict. The unfolding events offer an authentic

glimpse into the complexities of this issue and

their resulting misunderstandings. Just like this

course, the play aims to challenge conventional

Western views of the age-old conflict and offer

a deeper understanding of its emotional and

historical makeup. Performance ticket includ-

ed. 10% discount to DCTC subscribers.

Il Posto “The Place”Love Affair Italiano: Fine Wine & CuisineJust what is it about Italian food—and the wine that goes with it—that makes us Americans yearn

for more? According to Andrea Frizzi, chef-owner of Denver’s Il Posto restaurant, “it’s all about the

ingredients.” Just like at Il Posto, which made 5280’s list of “The 25 Best Restaurants of 2011,” the

tastiest Italian cuisine relies on the freshest ingredients, and the most flavorful Italian wine is the

one that pairs best with the food it’s served with. Let Chef Andrea, a Milan native, and Italian wine

specialist, Mario Scanu, from Sardinia, lead you on a tantalizing gastro-

nomical adventure through Italy’s Northern or Southern food and wine

regions—both if you just can’t decide! Discover why sense of place is so

important to how Italians eat, drink and even think, and why their wine

is considered one of the common denominators. Discover the distinct-

ness of the regions and the importance of soils, climate and, especially,

wind in growing delicious fruits and vegetables. Consider Mario’s

expert wine pairings and the impact on your taste buds. Gain an appreci-

ation for how the authenticity of the cuisine, the wine and the experi-

ence enhances the meal... Or simply attend for the indulgence of it all!

Margaret “Molly” Brown’s Denver: A Progressive City (1893–1917)2012 marks the centennial of RMS Titanic’s ill-

fated journey. Denver survivor, Margaret Tobin

Brown, and her rags-to-riches story quickly

became legendary. But long before then,

Brown played a leading role in Denver politics

and philanthropy during the years defined as

the Progressive Era—roughly, the late 1890s to

WWI. These were breakthrough years in

Denver: fully enfranchised women joined

reform-minded men to enact women’s rights,

labor and environmental protections,

Colorado’s first national parks, social welfare

reforms, the “City Beautiful” movement, elec-

toral reforms and a juvenile

How the West was Won: Lincoln, Slaveryand the Origins of the Colorado Territory

The history of the

Colorado Territory is

generally seen through

the lens of the Pike’s

Peak Gold Rush, when

thousands of young men

streamed into what was

then western Kansas in

1858 and 1859 to seek

their fortunes. Yet the ter-

ritory owes just as much of its history to the

battle over slavery waged in the East, where

President Abraham Lincoln struggled to keep

the new Union together as proslavery leaders

and abolitionists battled to control western

expansion. History Professor and Lincoln

expert Susan Schulten examines the events,

personalities and crises that created the

Colorado Territory just as the nation descended

into Civil War. Bringing the suspense and

drama to life through maps and writings from

the era, Schulten leads discussions about the

passionate political clashes, how and why

western expansion brought the slavery battle to

a high pitch, the outcomes that might have

been, and the ironies that led to Colorado’s

“birth.” Midway through the course, attend the

Newman Center Presents performance of TheRivalry, a “radio theater” depiction of the

Lincoln-Douglas debates using original texts.

Return to class to discuss their impact and why,

though Lincoln never traveled to the far West,

his political legacy—and that of the Civil War

itself—remains manifest in Colorado. Ticket

included. 10% discount to NC subscribers.

This season Newman Center Presents explores “Convergences.” To converge

is to come together from different origins. Audiences converge from varied

places, both physical and metaphorical, on the Newman Center. We come from

different parts of town, different points of view, different economic and social

backgrounds, and then we share experiences with performing artists. What we bring in common is our sense of

adventure and anticipation of discovery. It is a quintessentially American process, to bring our individual iden-

tities to a community venue filled with diversity for give and take. It is an inherently innovative, educational,

optimistic, and democratic undertaking. Performers are here to entertain and engage, but they are also here to

broaden horizons and challenge us to think in new ways. America is built upon a convergence of disparate

ideas and people. Come share in this uniquely American tradition. Converge during the 2011-12 season with

Newman Center Presents.

We are proud to collaborate with University College to enhance the performance experi-

ences provided by our eclectic array of artists from many different performing arts disci-

plines, and from around the world. Newman Center Presents will always be diverse in

disciplines, points of view, cultures and experiences, because humanity and its aesthetic

expressions are so diverse.

Special EventA Wild Life: Snakes, Bees, Spiders and Other Creepy Things That BiteAn Evening with Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald Star of Animal Planet’s Emergency Vets, stand-up comic, biophiliac

The animals of the world are talking to us—are we listening? ~ Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald

Join us for a special evening of laughter, animal

insights and reflections with Denver’s favorite vet, Dr.

Kevin Fitzgerald. Did you know that all snakes are

deaf, or that spiders are the planet’s most successful

terrestrial carnivore? Can you guess which color bees

hate and why? Does it creep you out to know you’re

never more than one meter away from a spider? Come

one, come all for an eye-opening, educational lecture

that is sure to also entertain. Best known for his eleven

seasons on Animal Planet’s popular Emergency Vetsand E-vet Interns, Dr. Fitzgerald has been staff veteri-

narian at Denver’s busy VCA Alameda East Veterinary

Hospital since 1985, and has been seen on Channel 2’s Daybreak at the Deuce, hosting

the popular Animal House segment, every Monday morning since 2002.

As a 27-year instructor in DU’s Biology Department where he teaches the well-attended

course, Perspectives in Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Fitzgerald walks the talk when it comes

to animal health, conservation and education issues. He has published more than 150 sci-

entific journal articles; has written 41 veterinary book chapters since 2001; has been a

trustee on the Board of Directors at the Denver Zoo since 2009; and he currently serves

on the Board of Directors of the Smithsonian Institution as a consultant for endangered

species worldwide.

I haven’t performed in six days and audiences have been delighted.

Dr. Fitz, as he’s known by his patients’ parents, is also a nation-

ally known stand-up comedian whose credits include appear-

ances with Bob Hope, Jeff Foxworthy and George Lopez, as

well as multiple dates with Joan Rivers and Dennis Miller. He

believes that none of us laugh enough and that we are all stew-

ards of animal life on this planet.

After a bit of laughter and levity, drawn from the doc’s incredible

repertoire of veterinary and comedic experience, it’s on to the

venomous creature segment—not for the entomophobic!

Conclude the evening with exciting and educational animal video

spotlighting his recent trips to Antarctica for ongoing study of

penguins, and to Mongolia with the Denver Zoo where he placed radio transmitters on

Cinereous vultures and adorable baby hedgehogs. Register now to laugh and learn with

Denver’s own Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald. Suitable for all ages.

LiteratureDusting Off the Classics: Faulkner’s“The Bear” and Go Down, MosesNo American writer is so deeply associated

with ideas about the American South as

William Faulkner. His 1942 story collection

(aka novel) Go Down, Moses is considered to

be his most direct statement about changes fac-

ing the region in the first half of the 20th cen-

tury. Of the seven stories, “The Bear”—the tale

of a mythic animal and its inevitable destruc-

tion—maintains the most resonant reputation

as a primary tale of American violence and

loss. Akin to Moby-Dick and The Old Man andthe Sea, “The Bear” uncovers the intertwined

histories of southern com-

munities that revolved

around their interaction

with the land. Go Down,Moses amplifies this

multi-generational, multi-

racial history through a

range of stories, both

comic and tragic, that

record the continuous

interaction between Black/White, Native

American/European, past and present. Join

Clark Davis, DU Department of English chair,

to study the classic American story in the con-

text of one of Faulkner’s great summations of

the South’s nature and history. Explore connec-

tions between “The Bear” and related works of

Cooper, Melville and Hemingway. Examine

Faulkner’s challenging formal innovations and

unmistakable style to better understand how his

virtuosic technique helps communicate his

vision. Above all, gain a deeper appreciation of

the complexity and richness of the storytelling

power of writing from the American South.

Art, History & CultureAll Roads Lead to Rome: Art and Culture in The Eternal City

From its imposing Colosseum to its famous Italian films (think

Fellini and Rossellini), Rome has been the center, subject and birth

of artistic creativity for centuries. Guided by two impassioned and

well-traveled experts on Italy—Scott Montgomery, associate profes-

sor of Art History, and Roberta Waldbaum, Anna Maglione-Sie

endowed professor in Italian culture—explore Rome’s many faces

through architectural heirlooms that shape the urban experience and

films that frame our notions of The Eternal City. Begin with its

topography, and then trace four major periods of artistic pre-emi-

nence: Ancient/Classical, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque

Rome. Journey through the monuments and masterpieces of Roman art and architecture, including

the Forum, Pantheon, Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica, the catacombs and Sistine Chapel, and

renowned works by Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio and Bernini. Why such a concentration of

exceptional artistic works in this particular city? And how do they define Rome? Consider Rome’s

role as the “Hollywood on the Tiber,” giving birth to major

movements of Italian cinema: Blassetti’s Historical genre,

Rossellini’s and DeSica’s Neo-Realism, Fellini’s Surrealism

and Monicelli’s Commedia all’italiana, and more. Along the

way, learn a bit of basic Italian language. Enrich a future trip,

give meaning to memories of journeys past, or simply

enhance your appreciation for a city that resonates as much

today as it did centuries ago.

ing a discussion on what agents and editors are

looking for in personal narratives. Come away

eign country. And learn what editors are look-

ing for when they look for humor. Of course,

you’ll also share a few chuckles and guffaws

Writing continued

Writing Short: The Art of the GlimpseV.S. Pritchett’s definition of the

short story as “something

glimpsed from the corner of the

eye” applies to short works of

both fiction and nonfiction. For

the writer of short forms—creative nonfiction,

short fiction, flash/short-short works—the idea

is to take on less, but craft it more. Just how

difficult is it to write short?

“It’s challenging because

every word must count,”

says Andrea Dupree, cre-

ative writing instructor at

DU’s University

College. “But it’s incredibly

fun and satisfying since you

can hammer out a rough

draft in one sitting.” Viewed by some writers

as a more accessible route to publication, the

short form requires many of the same funda-

mentals of a longer piece—characterization,

plot, dialogue and imagery. Reading carefully

Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize–winning

novel-in-stories, Olive Kitteridge, learn the

strategies of short forms: how to quickly get to

the heart of the story; pack a punch with strong

nouns, active verbs and powerful imagery;

focus on critical plot elements; and weed out

excess details, characters and dialogue. Shorten

the scope, but stretch your creativity. Come

away with new skills and techniques for writ-

ing brief but scintillating works. A course high-

light: attend author Elizabeth Strout’s Pen and

Podium Series lecture at the Newman Center

for the Performing Arts. Then return to class

with renewed inspiration and a new apprecia-

tion of Strout’s work. Course does not includecritiquing or workshopping.

Is There a Book in You? Secrets of Non-fiction SuccessIt’s been said that everyone has at least one

good book in them. But how can you make the

book inside you a reality? No matter whether

you see yourself taking the traditional route

with a New York publisher, want to self-pub-

lish, or try writing for an internet market, there

is one big secret to your non-fiction success:

write a great book proposal before you write

the book. Why? A book proposal organizes

your thoughts and gives your concept clarity so

that you don’t wander in circles when you

write. Join Pamela Patrick Novotny, author of

more than 10 non-fiction books, as she takes

you step-by-step through the book proposal

process. Begin with defining your idea and the

gaps in literature that your book should fill.

Then, move on to creating a table of contents,

writing a chapter outline, crafting a title and

even writing a killer sample chapter. Next,

work on defining your market and analyzing

the competition. Finally, focus on a publishing

path that is right for you. Along the way, learn

how editors and agents fit

into the mix—if they do at

all. Come away with the tools

you need to complete a great

proposal—the essential

roadmap to making your non-

fiction book dreams a reality.

The Urgent vs. the Important: US Policyin the Middle East and East AsiaAn Evening with Former Ambassador toIraq, Dean Christopher Hill

Christopher Hill, now

dean of DU’s Josef

Korbel School of

International Studies,

served as the Ambassador

to Iraq from April 2009 to

August 2010, the

Assistant Secretary of

State for East Asian and

Pacific Affairs from 2005

to 2009, and was an

ambassador to Korea, Poland and Macedonia.

He also served as special assistant to the presi-

dent and was senior director for Southeast

European Affairs in the National Security

Council. Join Dean Hill for a special evening to

discuss the direction of U.S. Policy in the

Middle East and in East Asia and lessons

learned during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Consider the unintended consequences of ten

years of urgency—terrorist attacks, wars, casu-

alties and the resources to manage them—and

the important matters in the Middle East and

East Asia that went unattended in the process.

Discover why Hill says it’s so important to

focus not only on the urgent but also on the

important, and why he believes the U.S. could

see a return to more traditional form of foreign

policy as early as next year. If you’re concerned

about American foreign policy heading into

November’s presidential election, you won’t

want to miss this thoughtful, informative lecture

from a voice of experience. A Q&A session

immediately follows Dean Hill’s lecture.

The Hidden Population: Uncovering the Problem of Forced Labor & HumanTrafficking Would it surprise you to learn that more slaves

exist today than at any other time in history?

That income generated by human trafficking is

second only to the illegal sale of drugs world-

wide? Or that it may be occurring right in front

of you? There are 23 to 27 million slaves in the

world today and an estimated 50,000 to

100,000 in the U.S. in any given year. They are

the prostitute on the street and the child in the

sweatshop. Yet, more often they’re working a

legitimate job—a waitress, housekeeper or

farm worker. Explore this very real problem

with Claude d’Estrée, director of both DU’s

Human Trafficking Clinic and Center on Rights

Development. Consider the scope of the prob-

lem: Where does modern-day slavery exist and

in what capacity? How does America compare

to other countries? From where do the victims

come and how? Learn the difference between

smuggling and trafficking, and discuss related

laws and issues around compliance and

enforcement. Consider

slavery locally, including

the problem of demand.

Could you be supporting

forced labor without realiz-

ing it? Examine efforts to

combat trafficking and why

finding gaps in knowledge

is crucial. Why does histo-

ry prove that prosecution is

not the answer? What is? Come away more

Africa have seemingly transformed the region.

However, beyond the mass protests and, in

some cases, the ousting of corrupt dictators and

resulting modest reforms, there are broader

implications drawing global attention. Join Ved

lations occur in countries where the govern-

ments are “manifestly unwilling or unable” to

Oil Rush: Getting to the Bottom of Oil and Gas Drilling in Colorado From the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains,

oil and gas deposits are being developed

throughout Colorado. More than 46,000 oil and

gas wells operate in the state, and 8,100 leases

for mineral rights were filed along the Front

Range in just the last year. What does this

potential drilling boom mean for a resource-

rich state that prides itself on its spectacular

natural environment and the recreational

opportunities that come with it? Join Dave

Neslin, director of the Colorado Oil and Gas

Conservation Commission, to explore this

complex and sometimes contentious subject.

How do hydrocarbon resources originate and

where are they found? What are the Niobrara

Formation, hydraulic fracturing and horizontal

drilling? Gain some background on the history

of oil and gas development in Colorado, and

then move on to current questions: How should

hydraulic fracturing be addressed? What is the

respective role of federal, state and local regu-

lation? How do the issues associated with

drilling on the Western Slope differ from those

associated with drilling on the Front Range?

What is the effect of oil and gas development

on our state’s wildlife and water resources?

Religion and the Election: The Changing Role of Faith inPresidential Campaign 2012Since at least the early 1980s, religion has

played an outsized role in American presiden-

tial elections. In 1984 the Moral Majority ral-

lied to support Ronald Reagan for the second

time, and in 2000 and 2004 Christian evangeli-

cals mobilized behind George W. Bush. After

9/11 conservative politicians played into anti-

Muslim anxiety, making faith an integral part

of the electoral strategy. Doubts or confusion

about Barack Obama's faith continue to influ-

ence how he is perceived, both as a president

and a presidential candidate. Yet, some believe

that religion will play a very different role in

the upcoming

election. Join

Carl Raschke,

professor of

Religious Studies,

to explore reli-

gion’s changing

role in a changing political environment over

the last five presidential elections with special

emphasis on 2012. Consider the persistent eco-

nomic recession and its potential impact on the

vote. How might trying times influence reli-

gious voters? Will secularists and Christian

conservatives focus on Mitt Romney's

Mormonism or Rick Perry's alleged

"Dominionism," or could religion play a qui-

eter, more subtly activist role, focusing on

social justice issues rather than personal faith?

Take a look back at religion’s role in past elec-

toral conversations and a fresh look forward to

a new discussion about faith in the 2012

Presidential campaign and what it might mean

to the election.

Philosophy & EthicsThe Neuroscience of Ethics: How We Decide

Entire industries and fields have been created in the last decade

around the concept of ethics. Ethical business practices. Bioethics.

Even university degree programs offer core disciplines in ethics.

But recent advances in science’s understanding of how we actually

make decisions are raising important questions with implications

for traditional ethical theory. Can humans learn to be ethical? What

do neuroscience and cognitive psychology tell us about the brain’s

decision-making processes? Join three DU faculty members in

thoughtful, tantalizing discussions that link ethics, philosophy, psy-

chology and neuroscience. Business Ethics Professor Buie Seawell

guides each evening’s conversation, and is joined along the way by

Psychology Professors Kim Gorgens and Courtney Mitchell.

Kantian, Utilitarian and Aristotelian approaches rely on the human capacity to rationalize between

impulse and act. But can we really change our minds? Surprising discussions ensue about the

impact of emotions and culture on our ethical choices, and implications

of new science on the brain for human choice. Consider how books like

Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink and Jonah Lehrer’s How We Decide frame

these issues in the popular press, and how scientific discoveries about

cognition and the brain may shape the discipline of ethics for the next

decade. Is the last word, simply, “if it feels right, do it?”

Some We Eat: Sorting Out the Petsfrom the Pot RoastHumans are an inconsistent breed when it

comes to “other” animals. We have dogs for

pets but also use them in scientific labs. We

domesticate cows but serve them for dinner.

Some religions would say that humans are the

only beings with a soul and, therefore, of a

“higher order” than beasts. Philosophers strug-

gle to explain why our moral compass allows

this dichotomy. Explore this complex issue

with University of Denver Chaplain Gary

Brower. Using philosophical, religious and sci-

entific traditions as a backdrop, and drawing

upon thoughtful readings from the new book,

Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat,consider our perceptions of domesticated ani-

mals (pets and livestock), animals used in

research or service, and where hunting and

consumption fit into the mix: Humans wear

leather and hunt. We eat domesticated animals

and conduct research on many species. Yet we

lavish our pets—sometimes the very same

breeds or species on which we conduct

research—with high-quality food, outdoor

excursions, even clothing. Are we choosing to

ignore a value system that seems intrinsic to

our daily lives (enjoying

animals as pets) when

we serve lamb for din-

ner? Or are our values

systems more evolved

and complex than we

give ourselves credit for?

Nature & ScienceThe Edge of a Movement: How a“Hellcat” Saved the Environment from the Conservationists… the most honest, unselfish, indomitable hell-cat in the history of conservation. —from

The New Yorker magazine’s 1948 profile of

Rosalie Edge

After John Muir and before

Rachel Carson, there was

Rosalie Edge (1877–1962),

an aristocratic New York

socialite, cousin to Charles

Dickens and officer in the

suffrage movement. Begin-

ning in 1929, Edge exposed corruption and

indifference among the era’s major conserva-

tion organizations, and was considered the

nation’s most effective conservationist for the

next 30 years. Join award-winning author and

Edge biographer Dyana Z. Furmansky to dis-

cuss Edge’s achievements, which include

founding the first preserve for birds of prey in

the world; establishment of Olympic and Kings

Canyon National Parks; preservation of a por-

tion of Yosemite National Park; and reforming

the Audubon Society. Edge reinvented what it

meant to be a nature preservationist and it’s

upon her shoulders that better-known environ-

mental warriors like Aldo Leopold, Rachel

Carson and David Brower stand. Using writ-

ings by Muir, Carson and George Perkins

Marsh, and her book, Rosalie Edge, Hawk ofMercy: The Activist Who Saved Nature from theConservationists, explore the lackluster conser-

vation world as it existed when Edge burst on

the scene and track the changes she made that

still characterize today’s environmental move-

ment. Come away with a new perspective on

ArtThe Family Album: Personal History and Identity Through PhotographyMost people don’t look at a photograph and then suggest an interpreta-

tion of the photo, such as “what does that photo of your great grandpa

mean?” Obviously, your life would not be possible without that per-

son, but how do you derive some meaning from it? How do you tell

the story of your life in photographs? Award-winning Associate

Professor of Photography Roddy MacInnes’ recent photo exhibit, JimRiver, told a story about a woman from North Dakota—her 1917 pho-

tos juxtaposed with his landscapes and portraits, taken in the same

places but decades later. Viewers sensed recurring themes and a con-

nectedness to current people and places. What story do your photos

tell? How do they keep people and places alive? In this workshop,

using your own existing photos that rep-

resent a snapshot of your life and new

photos taken the week between sessions,

you’ll explore ways to capture your fam-

ily’s special moments—even their daily

routines—in a unique family album. As

you build a picture of who you are based on your photos and their

accompanying stories, discover new techniques to capture the

moment. Roddy also helps you utilize online photo publication sites

like Blurb. Come away with an awareness of the significant role

photographs play in the construction of your family’s identity as well

Drawing for People Who Think TheyCan’t Draw: The Secret Artist WithinAs young children we were encouraged to stay

within the lines in our coloring books and

beginning drawings. But is that what really

makes a drawing “good?” How many frustrat-

ing experiences did it take to convince you that

you can’t draw? Susan Meyer, drawing instruc-

tor at DU’s School of Art and Art History,

believes anyone can learn to draw with the

right instruction, even in just a few classes. She

loves to watch the secret artist emerge in peo-

ple from varied walks of life. Learn to see in a

completely new way and then record what you

see and express what you feel. With exercises

and topics that include understanding line, neg-

ative space and perspective, and composing

still life, you’ll gain important tools to help you

create more sophisticated works of art. Back by

popular demand, this course is for beginners or

those looking to refresh their drawing skills.

Registration includes supplies. Space is limit-

ed, so enroll early!

WellnessYour Year in Review: A Look Back, A Look AheadBreathe! The holidays are behind you and

another year has begun! This is a perfect time

to reflect on your life and career with the inten-

tion of replicating your “wins” and eliminating

the setbacks. Join Robin Peglow Berg, success

coach and leadership development instructor, to

take a look at 2011: What worked in your life?

What didn’t? What do you want more or less

of in your life, your career or your relation-

ships? Through this interactive, experiential

workshop, Berg shares a comprehensive,

reflective system that gives you a new under-

standing of what “success” means to you and

how to create it. Identify your top achieve-

ments from 2011 and determine ways to repeat

them. Make a top-five list of your own “can’t-

live-without-it” elements for thriving. This is

not a New Year’s resolution course, nor is it a

self-critical review

of the “failures” of

2011. Instead, Berg

shares a personal-

ized, whole life sys-

tem of self-

review—including

techniques for deci-

sion-making, focusing and relaxation—that you

can use monthly, quarterly or annually, to gain

powerful insights for designing an intentional

life. Come away with clarity on what fulfills

you and how to make intentional choices that

enable you to create a rewarding 2012.

Students should bring a notebook, pen/pencil,water and a mid-afternoon snack.

Discover Your Inner Pharmacy®: RestoreYour Health, Optimize Your PerformanceYou have a powerful pharmacy within your

own body, which means that you have genuine

potential to improve your health, performance

and longevity. Lack of awareness of this “phar-

macy within” causes most people’s bodies to

produce too many bad chemicals, creating pain,

illness and disease. Join Denver practitioner

and internationally recognized natural health-

care expert Dr. Robert Blaich as he shows you

ways to nurture your

own health and

improve your per-

formance, whether in

sports or life in gener-

al. This is not an anti-

drug approach to life;

it is pro-health. Dr.

Blaich explains how

your body produces chemicals that control your

physiology, and he teaches you how to produce

more good chemicals that maintain health and

support healthy aging. Learn how chronic dis-

eases develop and what you can do to avoid,

prevent or delay them. Learn about inflamma-

tion and how your body can produce more of

its own anti-inflammatory chemicals. As the

course progresses, Dr. Blaich helps you create a

personalized health plan based on a new under-

standing of healthy living, including diet, exer-

cise, stress-reducing activities and your use of

health care resources. Come away with your

own sustainable path for greater health and

improved performance, and maybe save money

on medical expenses in the long run!

Know Yourself, Sell Yourself: Strategiesfor Success in Today’s Tough Job Market

When the competition for jobs is as fierce as it

is today, you can’t afford to rely on the same

old job-search techniques. You need to know

yourself. You need to sell yourself. You need a

plan. Discover how to do all of that and more

in this hands-on workshop taught by former

counselor and longtime career strategist,

Jacqueline Tobin, who trained with Richard

Bolles, author of What Color Is YourParachute? Acting as your own personal career

guru, Tobin guides you step-by-step through

the 2012 edition of Parachute—bestselling

career manual of all time and the one book that

remains the “gold standard” in career develop-

ment. Support, encouragement and follow-

through are essential elements not only in job

hunting but also in figuring out who you are as

a person and what you want out of life. As

Bolles would say, you need to design a picture

of what you want and then learn the techniques

of how to create your vision: Identify your

unique talents and interests, draw on your

experiences, and rethink who you are and what

you have to offer each job opportunity. Come

away with tools, techniques and a comprehen-

sive plan for creating your own personal

roadmap to the career you want!
