not speak English) and wrote down the recipe. To this day,
Joanne still has the handwritten recipe and may reference

4 Sessions | Tuesday | Sep 26, Oct 03, Oct 10, Oct 17
10AM-12N | In-Person only | Beaufort campus
The American experiment in nationhood declared itself to
be a novus ordo saeclorum (a "new order of the ages").
The path from a Declaration of Independence to a

also hazardous. This course will explore the events of the
so-called "critical period" of American history (1781-1789)
with a specic focus on several essays from "The Feder-
alist Papers" through which we may trace the ways in
which the founders' thinking about less imperfect (if not
more perfect) forms of government led to the ratication
of the Constitution.

leading to their capture and the passing of ocial slave
laws in 1662. Mr. Summers will also discuss the
relationship between Africans and indentured Europeans
and how their once unity was broken with the creation of
a color line leading in many ways to the origins of the
American South and its racial caste system at one time.

AMERICAN FOUNDING AND ITS LEGACIES
1 Session | Friday | Oct 13 | 10-11:30AM
In-Person, OLLI Digital Library | Bluton campus
Come explore the rise and fall of Reconstruction, the
period roughly 150 years ago when radical Republicans
launched the greatest expansion of democracy in
American history, extending civil and political rights to
millions of formerly enslaved African Americans. Then, in
the late 19th century, the Reconstruction political order
was destroyed. Multiracial democracy was rolled back in
the South and replaced by a racial caste system that
would endure into the 1950s and beyond. At a time when
the fate of democracy seems to be at stake once again,
we will also consider what lessons the history of
Reconstruction holds for Americans in our own time.

In-Person, OLLI Digital Library | Bluton campus
In 1623, Shakespeare's two partners, John Heminges and
Henry Condell, took Shakespeare's plays to a printer. The
result was what has become known as the "First Folio."
The "First Folio" contained virtually all the plays
Shakespeare had written, but many of those plays had
not previously appeared in print. What would have been
lost if Shakespeare's two buddies had not sought out the
printer? And which of Shakespeare's incredible women
might never have been known in the absence of the "First
Folio," celebrating its 400th anniversary in 2023? Mr.
Jordan will illuminate all these issues in his engaging
theatrical presentation.

REL100: CONTINUITY OR CONFLICT -
THEPAPACIES OF JOHN PAUL,
BENEDICT, AND FRANCIS
2 Sessions | Friday | Oct 13, Oct 20 | 3-5PM
Zoom, OLLI Digital Library
The voice of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Rome
commonly referred to as the Pope, is of interest to more
than his fellow Catholics. A classic Latin formulation
asserts that a pope speaks "urbi et orbi"…to the city and
the world. This two-session course will explore how
writings on matters of social justice of three 21st century
popes represent a consistent message of harmony,
dialogue, and a search for the common good, despite
eorts in some quarters to nd serious divisions between
the three and cast their teachings into rival, and even
hostile camps. Interestingly, this eort to divide has
contemporary parallels in global and national political
discourse. Perhaps the writings of John Paul II, Benedict
XVI, and Francis deserve greater attention from the
world's prime ministers, presidents, and potentates.

REL102: THE CRUSADES
1 Session | Tuesday | Nov 07 | 3-5PM
Zoom, OLLI Digital Library
In November 1095, in the town of Clermont in central
France, Pope Urban II issued a call that sent an army of
armed Christian Europeans on a military journey to the
Middle East to free the Holy City of Jerusalem from
control by Muslim forces. This adventure would quickly
be called a "crusade" and in subsequent years would be
designated the First Crusade. Sadly, it would not be the
last. This course explores the history of these Crusades
over a period of three or more centuries. The Crusades
also represent a bipolar attitude continuing to this day as
the Western world continues to have diculty
developing a relationship with contemporary Islam.

SCI102: QUAKING, SHAKING EARTH…PLATE
TECTONICS, EARTHQUAKES, AND VOLCANOES
1 Session | Thursday | Nov 02 | 10:30AM-12:30PM
In-Person, Zoom, OLLI Digital Library | Hilton Head campus
Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis - all can be explained
by the theory of plate tectonics. Learn about the
evidence to support this theory starting with the work of
Alfred Wegener and how he got it right but was ridiculed
in his day. See how others helped develop the idea of
shifting plates into the widely held theory of today. Plate
tectonic theory is a relatively new idea with plenty of data
to support it. This presentation will give you an appre-
ciation for the causes of geologic events on the earth.

1 Session | Monday | Sep 18 | 1-2:30PM
In-Person, OLLI Digital Library | Bluton campus
Antar
ctica is the most remote location on Earth. For
several hundred years it challenged explorers. In recent
decades, it has become the site for some of the most
cutting-edge science on our planet. Astrophysics,
climatology, oceanography, and marine biology are just a
few of the things being studied currently by scientists
from around the world. How will the research being done
in this frozen laboratory aect our lives and those of
future generations? What happens in Antarctica will
aect all of us. The presenter will also discuss Antarctic
geography, history, and the current status of the

SCI103: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
PROMISE, PERIL (OR BOTH)
1 Session | Friday | Nov 10 | 10-11:30AM
In-Person, Zoom, OLLI Digital Library | Bluton campus
I
nterest in Articial Intelligence (AI) has reached a fever
pitch in recent months, spurred in part by emerging
capabilities such as ChatGPT for composition and
conversation applications. Governments, including the
U.S. and the European Union, are moving to understand
and regulate such emerging AI capabilities. In this
session, OLLI members will (1) Review the approaches to
AI dominating the rst 50 years of this 75-year-old eld:
simulations of forms of human reasoning. (2) Examine the
more recent development and applications of "articial
neural networks" or "deep learning." Examples include
ChatGPT for composition and autopilot systems for
driving cars. (3) Explore the threats and promises
of AI applications. Some have suggested Articial
Intelligence represents an existential threat to humanity.
Others argue Articial Intelligence oers extraordinary
promise for go
od. We shall examine both perspectives,
along with currently envisioned approaches to the
regulation of AI and its applications.
