August 2018

Dear POLIS Members,

Welcome back to Quincy University for another semester of

courses reflecting your wide range of interests. Many of the

presenters have taught in our program while some are new to

POLIS. We welcome for the first time Dr. Tim Jacobs and

Philip LeStrange.

We look forward to greeting returning members of POLIS as

well as new members. We continue to make efforts to reach

out to those in our community who would be prime

candidates for joining our program. When we talk with

people about POLIS, they are delighted to be let in on one of

Quincy's best kept secrets. Still you are our best recruiters.

Please invite family and friends to join and share with them

this edition of the POLIS PATTER. Remember that

someone who has never attended a POLIS course can

attend one course for free in order to sample our

program. We are glad to add potential members to our

mailing list.

A highlight of the fall semester is a bus tour on October 24,

2018, to the Lincoln Museum and Library in Springfield, IL.

The ride over will likely be at the peak of the fall colors, a

delight in itself. Final deadline for signing up for this tour is

October 10, 2018. We encourage you, however, to sign up for

the tour when you register for courses. This will assist the

organizers in their planning.

The POLIS Curriculum Committee is already looking ahead

to the 2019 spring semester. We are contacting presenters

who have indicated they are interested in offering courses.

We will be approaching others, following up on suggestions

our members made. We will be giving you updates on the

subjects of those courses during the semester. Dan Tanna is

exploring options for a spring bus tour.

We will continue to solicit your suggestions about future

course offerings and tour destinations. In this edition of the

PATTER, you will find a list of the members of the POLIS

Board of Directors. Recent members who have joined our

board are: Meenal Mamdani, Larry Ruemmler, and Joann

Wilmot. Please share with them your thoughts and ideas

about POLIS.

We would also like to introduce you to Barb Girouard who

will be taking Gary Winking's place as our office assistant.

We are appreciative of the support Gary provided us last year

as a volunteer.

Sincerely,

Mary Ann Klein

Sir Thomas More

Thursday (one day) Fee-$4

Sir Thomas More was executed on July

5, 1535, at the Tower of London. More

was beheaded for refusing to submit to

King Henry VIII's authority. More was

eventually canonized as a saint in the

Catholic Church and a play and movie,

A Man for All Seasons, celebrated him

as a man of virtue who stood up to the

tyranny of a king. However, some

recent authors have questioned Thomas

More's life and legacy. This talk will

examine the debate over whether

Thomas More was a saint or a sinner.

Lecturer: Dr. Justin Coffey, Associate

Professor of History, Quincy

University

November 1, 8

History of Modern Israel

the modern state of Israel from its

origins in the nineteenth century to the

present. Along the way, he will discuss

the ideological, religious, social,

political and historical dynamics that

led to the independence of Israel in 1948

and its evolution into a highly successful

Middle Eastern powerhouse. Necessary to

an understanding of this, of course, is also

a consideration of the seemingly

insolvable problems stemming from the

presence of a growing Palestinian

population, the antipathy of Arab states

and the re-emergence of religious

fundamentalism. Based on his recent

travels to Israel and participation in the

Schusterman Summer Institute for Israel

Studies at Brandeis University, he will

finish by presenting an update on the

status of Israeli affairs in 2018.

Lecturer: Dr. C. Patrick Hotle, John

Separation of Powers-Constitutional

Cornerstone

Friday (one day) Fee-$4

Powers as a checks and balance of shared

powers with a discussion of the historical

and philosophical underpinnings for the

division of government functions to avoid

tyranny.

An overview of the three departments of

government and their allocated powers

will be presented and an analysis of how

checks and balances function in the

context of shared powers by the various

branches of government in exercising

powers technically assigned to other

branches of government. Instances of

separation of power in action will be

highlighted and examples of past and

current conflicts between co-ordinate

branches of government.

The lecture will conclude with how the

separation of powers is vital,

important, and meaningful in 2018.

Lecturer: Jim Palmer is a practicing

attorney who handles, among other

matters, Constitutional Law issues,

governmental affairs, Civil rights and

Civil Liberties litigation, (primarily as

defense counsel). He is an Adjunct

Quincy University faculty member,

November 6

The Life and Music of Patsy Cline

and The Life and Music of Hank

Williams

Tuesday (one day) Fee-$4

The original "Honkey Tonk Angel,"

Patsy Cline became one of the most

influencial, successful, and acclaimed

vocalists of the 20th century. The class

will examine her career in country

music and her "cross-over" to popular.

Widely copied, she has no equal in her

genre and is more popular today than

during her lifetime. We will recall her

hits and maybe break out in song.

Hank Williams was a singer-songwriter

who is referred to as the "Hillbilly

Shakespeare." He is considered one of

the most significant and influential

American singers and songwriters of the

20th century. He recorded 35 singles that

reached the Top 10 of the Billboard

Country and Western Best Sellers Chart.

Think "the silence of a falling star lights

up a purple sky." The class will examine

his life, often expressed through his lyrics.

Be ready to have fun in recalling his

songs. I can't help it if you want to sing

along, to paraphrase one of his best.

Lecturer: Nona Long taught American

and British Literature at Quincy Senior

High School for thirty years. She has also

taught adult education classes in literature

and classic film. Often incorporating her

violin, she gives a variety of programs at

November 9, 16

Mafia and Organized Crime. Was It or Is

It in Quincy?

Fridays (two days) Fee-$8

Did the Mafia really exist as an organized

criminal “enterprise” or was it really a

series of independent crime groups? In

the first session, Harry Cramer will reveal

what Organized Crime looked like in the

past, currently, and in the future?

Session two will address Organized Crime

in Quincy, IL. Was there? Is there? He's

giving you a hint: you bet-get the hint!

November 14

Conspiracy Theories in the US: A

Love Affair as Long as the Nation

Wednesday (one day) Fee-$4

Conspiracy theories have always

played a prominent role in the US

political culture, with some theorists

arguing even that the very birth of the

country is the result of a conspiracy

theory. This course will offer a brief

historical overview of the role played

by conspiracy theories in the

development of the nation and will

then focus on current conspiratorial

thinking and its influence.

Lecturer: Dana Craciun is on leave

from the University of the West in

Timisoara, Romania and currently

teaching in the English department at

Quincy University.

Dana is involved in a project:

Comparative Analysis of Conspiracy

Theories (COMPACT) sponsored by

the European Union. This action

recognizes that conspiracy theories

play an increasingly visible role in the

political life in Europe and can

contribute to extremism within

particular regions, as well as fueling

tensions between nations. The action

will take a comparative approach to

build a better understanding of

conspiracy theories in order to develop

an effective response to them.

November 27

Prerogative Power and the American

Presidency

Tuesday (one day) Fee-$4

John Locke argued that the power of the

government to serve the common good

cannot be limited, not even by law. This

power to act outside the law—what he

called “prerogative”—is naturally lodged,

he thought, in the executive. Executives,

he argued, must not only be able to act

where the law is silent, but indeed, to act

against the law where the common good

requires it. Some American Founders and

some American presidents have

subscribed to this theory. This course

examines this controversial theory of

prerogative, its place in the creation of the

American executive, historical examples

of its exercise, and the tension between

this notion and the project of limited

government.

Lecturer: Dr. Neil Wright, Assistant

Professor Political Science, Quincy

University

November 30 and December 7

Antigone and the Politics of Mourning

Fridays (two days) Fee $8

The first session will discuss Sophocles'

classic play Antigone and how it has been

interpreted. The second session will

explore how the play has become a

starting point for a contemporary

exploration of the politicization of

victimization, death, and mourning. We

will discuss recent work on the politics of

mourning by Jacques Derrida and Judith

Butler as well as the politicization of

death and mourning during the AIDS

crisis, the Bush administration's Iraq

War, and Trump's first State of the

Union Address.

Lecturer: Dr. Robert Manning,

Professor of Philosophy, Quincy

University
