The United States and the European Union: From
20th Century Partnership to 21st Century Rivalry
with Claudia Dunlea
Course Description: Forged in the aftermath of World
War II, the transatlantic partnership between Europe
and the US has proven successful and resilient over
the second half of the 20th century. Europe developed from a continent in need of US aid and support
after World War II, to a partner during the Cold War.
However, the international environment changed radically with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and later,
the shock of the terrorist attacks on September 11,
2001. The question for the 21st century is therefore:
Will we remain partners or become rivals? The Europeans cannot match the raw military size of the US.
However, the EU already is a new sort of superpower—and the US seems to be oblivious to this
trend. To this extent, this course intends to give a
thought-provoking assessment of the EU’s international influence; it’s economic, political, and cultural
strengths; and European thinking as a competitive alternative to Americanism.

The Most-Hated Queen of France: The Life and
Death of Marie Antoinette with Claudia Dunlea
Course Description: In 1770, the 14-year-old Austrian
Archduchess Maria Antonia, youngest daughter of
Empress Maria Theresa, left Vienna for Versailles to
marry the future King Louis XVI of France. As Marie
Antoinette, she spent the next two decades at the
most splendid court of Europe, initially admired as the
personification of 18th-century French royal style.
However, by the time she died under the blade of the
guillotine at the age of 38 during the French Revolution, she was loathed as no queen of France ever had
been. Augmented by PowerPoint visuals, handouts,
and various film clips, this course illustrates/follows
the life of Marie Antoinette — from a teenage girl
plagued by marital difficulties that were subject to
public ridicule, to a young woman who allegedly engaged in a scandalous extra-marital affair with a
dashing Swedish nobleman, to a controversial queen
who ultimately ended up vilified as l’Autrichienne (“the
Austrian woman”), and became the scapegoat for the
monarchy’s failure.

December 9, 2011 — The Golden Age of Jewish
Humor presented by Dr.
Stephen Cohen – Best
described as a humorist
rather than a comedian,
Stephen Cohen is most
often compared to the legendary Myron Cohen and
the thought provoking
Sam Levenson. Noted for
his effortless delivery, innate timing, impeccable
dialect, relaxed manner
and warm rapport with audiences, his hilarious material is clean, heimishe and hand selected for its Jewish content. Presenting Jewish humor with intelligent
commentary, Dr. Cohen takes a nostalgic approach to
the topic and presents it within chronological perspective. From shtetl times through the golden age of Jewish humor in America, behaviors, traditions and
historical context are revealed. Jewish life is explored
in material that illustrates what is and what is not Jewish humor and how and why it relates to our unique
Jewish experience. More telling and with much more
take-away than just some great punch lines, he doesn’t simply tell the joke, he tells about the joke.
