We invite you to consider the Osher
Institute at the Palm Desert Campus as
your significant alma mater—the school
you have attended for more than four
years, and the school you are still
attending.
Rethinking Your Alma Mater
Your Osher Institute is a financially selfsustaining program, meaning it does not
receive any state funding. Membership
fees are our largest source of revenue, but
they still do not fully cover the costs to
operate your institute. In order to
maintain affordability and availability to all
those who wish to attend classes, we
must, like most nonprofit organizations,
ask for your financial support.

Writing and Publishing Your
First Book (Schedule #4040)
Archetypes, Symbols and the
Book of Changes (Schedule #4041)
Edward J. Lopatin, MPA, DTM
Are you a frustrated author, who wants
to get your first book written and
published, but have not yet realized
that goal? Join other authors
discussing today’s publishing
environment, and how you may find
literary agents, publishers, and then
sell your published works. You will
discuss the advantages of having your
book published, how much it costs to
write and publish a book, and how to
get a book published and sold. By the
end of the course, you will be more
motivated and confident to start or
finish writing your book!
Thursdays, 10 am–12 noon

(No meeting on March 26)
LGBT Community Center of the
Desert, 611 S. Palm Canyon Drive,
Suite 201
Dr. Michael McDonald, adjunct faculty,
CSUSB, Humanities
The two thousand-year-old I Ching, or
Book of Changes, is revered as one of
the Five Classics of China. Although
significant academically and from an
historic standpoint, our focus will be
on understanding the I Ching as an
oracle--a teacher for the inner journey.
Learn about this archetypal system of
symbols for asking questions and
interpreting answers. Apply to your
own life journey the thousands of
years of human experience embedded
in I Ching symbolism and philosophy.

SUMMER 2015 • Palm Desert Campus Faculty Lecture Classes
Learning Conversational Spanish
(Schedule #6002)
Pablo Romero, BA, MSA
This course is appropriate for beginners as
well as returning students since it is
largely based on the student
participation. Therefore, every time this
course is offered, it is different. It will
review the basics and expand with new
vocabulary and scenarios for active
participation. The students will learn
pronunciation and the skills necessary to
create coherent sentences, enough to
facilitate communication and
understanding of the language. Learning
Spanish is a way to show respect for
Hispanic culture. Expanding cultural
knowledge and improving
communication skills are not a loss of
idiosyncrasy. Instead, it is a way to
participate in the Hispano-American
assimilation and the new economic
power.
Mondays, 1:30–3:30 pm
June 8–July 20
(No meeting on June 29)
Palm Desert Campus
New Thought Religions
(Schedule #6003)
Dr. Michael McDonald, adjunct faculty,
CSUSB, Humanities
Over the past 50 years, a unique form of
progressive thought has arisen in
philosophy and religion. The concept that
“you create your own reality” (and related
ideas) were made popular by writers such
as Ram Dass, Marianne Williamson,
Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle. Explore
this new-age trend from its roots in the
Unity Church and the Church of Religious
Science, and understand its role in the
modern context of religion through its
literature, poetry, and philosophy.

America’s Tap Legends from
Vaudeville to Broadway
(Schedule #6005)
Lorna Thompson, PhD, Health Psychology
This class will explore the fascinating
history of an original American art form—
the tap dance—from its beginnings in
Vaudeville to the present-day Broadway
chorus routines. America’s tap legends
have influenced entertainment and
musical styles for an entire generation.
The class will learn to recognize basic tap
combinations, rhythms and styles,
appreciating the importance of the music
or complete lack of it for a cappella
performances. Sample representations of
styles will include dancers such as Shirley
Temple, Eddie Brown, Fred Astaire, Gene
Kelly, Tommy Tune and Gregory Hines.

How Did We Get Here? AvantGarde Art in America Since 1940
(Schedule #6006)
Xavier Cázares Cortéz, artist, educator,
lecturer
The paradigm shift to the avant-garde
and contemporary artist as a thinker of
unexpected ideas evolved from the
movements for democratic revolution
that dominated the Western world during
so much of the last century. Strategies for
producing art were peaking after the
Second World War as New York became
the toast of the art world. We’ll take a
fresh look at Abstraction, American Pop of
the ’60s, and Object/Concept/Illusion in
the nature of materials. Abundant images
of vanguard artworks, both well-known
and obscure, will be shown and discussed.
The more controversial pieces will be
highlighted. Postmodernism and the
politics of making art will round out our
discussions.
Wednesdays, 1:30–3:30 pm
June 10–July 22
(No meeting on July 1)

The Seven Deadly Virtues: 18
Conservative Writers on Why the
Virtuous Life is Funny as Hell
(Schedule #6007)
Arlette Poland, JD, PhD, professor,
Philosophy of Religion
With tongue in cheek, we will review what
virtue means and why it still matters in
today’s hectic and politically divided
world. Eighteen well-known conservative
writers, including Christopher Buckley, P.J.
O’Rourke, Mollie Hemingway and Jonah
Goldberg, express their thoughts about
16 different virtues in a humorous and
thought-provoking fashion. Even if you
don’t entirely agree with their views, you’ll
appreciate their insight and walk away
chuckling. Book is available at the campus
bookstore.

Revisiting the Modern Middle
East: 2013 to Present
(Schedule #6008)
Dr. Kevin E. Grisham, assistant professor,
Geography and Environmental Studies,
CSUSB
This course will examine the various
pressing issues and challenges facing the
people and governments of the Middle
East and North Africa in 2013 to the
present. This will include timely
discussions about the rise of ISIS (ISIL),
recent challenges facing Turkey, recent
changes in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
the Syrian civil war and the changing
social environment of the region.
Additionally, this course will examine how
this region will fit into the global
community in the future.

The World of International
Cinema (Schedule #4032)
Mike Herbst, founding advisor, Cairo
International Film Festival
Discover lesser-known but equally
brilliant films from a variety of countries.
The complete screening of each film is
preceded by a short discussion of the
director, the actors, the historical
background of the country, and the
political situation surrounding the film’s
theme. The ending times for this class
are approximate and are ultimately
determined by the film’s length and the
duration of the discussion.

March 10–April 21
(No meeting on March 31)
Palm Desert Campus
(Schedule #4035)
Arlette Poland, JD, PhD, professor,
Philosophy of Religion
How can you live Buddhism without
practicing the religion? Start with some
basic Buddhist principles and then delve
into one of the gentlest books ever
written. Based on discussions between
the 17th Karmapa and a group of 16
American college students, this
charismatic 28-year-old Tibetan lama
offers advice on how to live with
compassion, ethical principles, integrity
and bravery in the face of the global
challenges confronting humanity. Book
is available at the campus bookstore.

Bend It Like Totenberg
History of The Beatles, Part 2
(Schedule #4036)
Paul Marchand, Esq.
One of the most significant shortfalls of
modern American media is the rather
short shrift given to coverage of
significant court decisions. Most
American media cover such matters
very poorly. On the other hand, there
are explainers out there like NPR's Nina
Totenberg, who is probably one of the
finest self-taught legal analysts we
have. This class is designed to give the
average consumer a basic knowledge
of how to see past the often
misleading headlines and make
independent sense of court decisions
as they hit the news cycle.
Thursdays 10 am–12 noon
March 12–April 23
(No meeting on March 26)
Palm Desert Campus
(Schedule #4038)
Mark Guerrero, singer, songwriter, rock
music historian
This class picks up where History of The
Beatles, Part 1 left off, with The Beatles
groundbreaking album, “Rubber Soul,”
and continues surveying the band’s
music and career through their last
album, “Abbey Road.” Their music of
this era, which includes the timeless
classic “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts
Club Band,” became more
sophisticated and their albums more
artistically cohesive than their earlier
works. Teaching tools for this course
include video clips, audio sound bytes
and live musical demonstrations of
their music. Anecdotal information will
also be shared.
Fridays, 10 am–12 noon

Palm Desert Campus
Introduction to Native Plants
of the Coachella Valley and
Joshua Tree National Park
(Schedule #4037)
The Desert Institute at Joshua Tree
National Park
The annual appearance of the
ephemeral spring wildflowers native to
the Coachella Valley has everything to
do with the amounts of rainfall in the
winter months, which can vary widely
within a relatively small area, and with
warming temperatures that encourage
blooming. A “good” wildflower year
depends on three things: well-spaced
rainfall through the winter and early
spring months; sufficient warmth from
the sun; and the lack of desiccating
winds. Don’t miss this opportunity to
learn about wildflowers in the
Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree
National Park from experts on native
plant life.
Thursdays, 1:30–3:30 pm
March 12–April 23
(No meeting on March 26)

Movies Are Like a Box of
Chocolates (Schedule #4039)
Xavier Cázares Cortéz, artist, educator,
lecturer
You never know what you're gonna’ get
when you watch a film classic through
a contemporary lens, and examine its
vast influences in cinema and art. View
and discuss a mélange of topics
ranging from film noir, innovation,
Hitchcock, Orson Welles, drama,
western, foreign films, eclectic, genius
and copycats. What will you pick?
Explore the arc of some of the finest
moviemaking moments from the 1940s
and 1950s with fresh eyes through
lively, guided discussions. Films include
Rebecca (1940, USA); Brief Encounter
(1945, UK); The Third Man (1949, UK);
Lola Montés (1955, France); The
Searchers (1956, USA). Bonus materials
and movie clips included.

SPRING 2015 • Palm Desert Campus Bonus Guest Lecture Classes
Impressionists' Style: A
Painting Demonstration by
Cash Baxter (Schedule #4132)
Cash Baxter, MFA, internationally
recognized award-winning painter
Professor Baxter demonstrates and
lectures with visual presentations of
how painters "captured light," from
French Impressionism (Monet, Renoir),
Post-Impressionism, (Van Gogh,
Gauguin) and American Impressionists
of the late 19th century (Robert Henri,
William Merritt Chase). Note that the
Impressionist movement in art was the
most important one since the
Renaissance and is alive and well today.
Wednesday, 10 am–12 noon
February 25 (One meeting—Does not
count toward one of five class choices.)
Palm Desert Campus
Interior Design in the Desert
(Schedule #4133)
Joel Bernstein, professional interior
designer
Do you want to find new ways to
decorate your home, or have you
moved into a new home in the desert
and don’t know where to start with the
interior design? Whether you are a
beginner or have been doing this for
years, come and learn some new ideas
including choosing the right colors,
material selection and uses, window
covering, planting, furniture selection,
lighting, space planning and design
solutions, and more.

February 25 (One meeting—Does not

Birds of the Coachella Valley
(Schedule #4134)
Kurt Leuschner, professor, Natural
Resources, College of the Desert
The Coachella Valley lies along the
Pacific Flyway and is home to hundreds
of bird species. From the desert to the
Salton Sea to the mountains, you won't
find a place in Southern California that
can match the diversity of avian life. In
this lecture, you'll see a sample of the
birds that make this area a bird
watcher's paradise. You'll also learn
which birds might be found in a typical
Coachella Valley backyard.

Palm Desert Campus
Frank Sinatra: From Here to
Eternity (Schedule #4135)
Thomas L. Harris, adjunct professor
(retired) Northwestern University; author,
jazz authority and president of one of the
world's largest public relations firms
Frank Sinatra's star had fallen. He lost
his recording contract, his movie
contract, his radio show and even his
agent in 1952. Then he read James
Jones's best selling war novel, "From
Here to Eternity.” Frank knew he was
made to play the part of Maggio in the
movie version. With the help of his new
wife, Ava Gardner, he cajoled Columbia
Pictures skeptical chief Harry Cohn into
giving him the part. Frank not only won
the Academy Award for his stunning
portrayal, but a new recording contract
with Capital Records, and was back on
top overnight. There will be a film
screening followed by a discussion.
Thursday, 10 am–12 noon
February 26 (One meeting—Does not

Palm Desert Campus
Friendship and Age: Lessons
From LGBT Lives (Schedule #4136)
Brian De Vries, PhD, professor,
Gerontology, San Francisco State
University
Friends play prominent and often
unsung roles in our lives. A clearer view
of the importance and potential of
friendship may be seen in the
experiences of LGBT persons--friends
are those to whom LGBT persons turned
when so many others rejected or
neglected them; when coming out,
through LGBT rights movements during
the crisis of HIV/AIDS, in later life. This
presentation will examine the role of
friendship and LGBT persons in life's
second half, reviewing what is known
and providing opportunities to reflect
on what could be.

Life At Sea (Schedule #4131)
Russ Hoberg, captain
The terrestrial traveler faces many
difficulties and dangers. He can become
lost but he always has landmarks. When
the sailor drops below the horizon, he
often loses sight of all land. We will
discuss how the sailor maintains a
sense of his position when land is no
longer visible, and the tools that he
uses to gain that knowledge: the
compass, the sun, planets and stars,
marine charts, methods of determining
the depth of water while underway,
and the changes that have taken place
in maritime navigation since the
invention of electronic methods of
determining position.

The annual appearance of the

the Coachella Valley has everything to
do with the amounts of rainfall in the
winter months, which can vary widely
within a relatively small area, and with
warming temperatures that encourage

Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree
National Park from experts on native
plant life.
