might come next.

Winter 2022 Courses
Genetic Modification Mondays 10:00am Oak Room/Hybrid
Facilitators: John Axe, Ken Berns
Advances in biotechnology allow scientists to alter the genomes of living organisms in specific ways. Chang-
es in gene expression may reflect the introduction of a novel DNA sequence into the nucleus of the cell or,
more recently, direct editing of the original genome. Genetic modification of plants is controversial, but has
become a major industry. Of more concern is modification of the human genome. Treatment of a patient to
correct a genetic defect has become accepted practice, but alteration of a person’s germ cell DNA is not. The
talks in the course will cover some of these topics.
January 10 CRISPRcas9
Presenter: Jennifer Doudna, Professor of Biochemistry, University of California
In this video Professor Doudna will discuss the discovery of CRISPR, its properties, and potential uses.
Professor Doudna shared the 2020 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology with Professor Charpentier.
January 17 Basic Principles of Gene Therapy
Presenter: Arun Srivastava, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Florida
Professor Srivastava will describe the introduction of good copies of the gene to be used for correction into
the vector which will carry the good copy of the gene into the nucleus of the target cell.
January 24 Crispr and Plant Genetics
Presenter: Patricio Munoz, Assistant Professor of Horticultural Sciences, University of Florida
Plants, particularly ornamental and cash crops, have traditionally been improved by crossbreeding. Professor
Munoz will tell us about the new uses of precise Crispr genome editing in plants with particular focus on Flori-
da Blueberries.
January 31 William Allen, Professor of Community Health and Family Medicine, University of
Florida
Professor Allen will discuss ethical concerns involved in genetic modification.
February 7 Arun Srivastava, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Florida
Professor Srivastava will describe several applications of human gene therapy already in clinical use,
Spanish Literature & Discussion Mondays 1:30-2:30pm ZOOM only

track at the University of Florida.
All are welcome! Todos son bienvenidos.
Winter 2022 Courses THE HOLOCAUST TODAY Mondays 1:30pm Oak Room/Hybrid Facilitator: Ellen Efros In this course on the Holocaust, we will present a series of discussions on how the issue of the Holocaust has been presented in the past and today. January 10 The Problem of Holocaust Studies Presenter: Norman JW Goda, Braman Professor of Holocaust Studies How to speak the unspeakable? The human tragedy of the Holocaust demands its discussion, and yet its hor- rors defy representation. We will introduce the problem by sampling attempts at Holocaust representation from the Nuremberg Trial to Schindler’s List. January 17 France and the Holocaust Presenter: Gayle Zachmann, Associate Professor of French and Jewish Studies In this discussion of the history and memory of the Holocaust in France, Dr. Zachmann explores the still- controversial legacies of the war through French testimonial literature and cinema. January 24 Frozen Time, Liquid Memories, a film by Professor Dragan Kujundzic, will be screened in ex- cerpts, with Professor Kujundzic's comments and discussion on the Holocaust, and the Jews in France and Serbia in 1942. Presenter: Dragan Jujundzic, Professor of Jewish Studies He has written on French, Slavic and American theory and literature, and his film, Frozen Time, Liquid Memo- ries has been screened widely, including at the National Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. January 31 To Remember, To Forget: Negotiating Holocaust Memory in Israel. Presenter: Ray Holler, Assistant Professor of Israel Studies In 1938, Mussia Thilimzogger’s parents put their thirteen-year-old son on a boat from Poland to Palestine. Three years later they perished in the Holocaust. Traumatized, alone and rejected, the young survivor decided to erase his past. He adopted a new biography, changed his birthplace from Rivne to Tel-Aviv, Hebraicized his foreign sounding name Mussia into Dahn Ben-Amotz, and denied any connection to his painful past. While remembrance and testimony are common ways to deal with Holocaust trauma, in this class we will discuss an alternative Israeli coping mechanism: silence. February 7 Preserving Holocaust History: The Price Library of Judaica Collections and Collecting Presenter: Rebecca J.W. Jefferson, Curator of the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica at UF This class will cover the how and why of collecting Holocaust history, and it will provide an introduction to im- portant primary resources held in the Price Library of Judaica, including records, personal archives and manu- scripts, oral testimonies, as well as antisemitic propaganda. February 14 No presentation February 21 The Holocaust and the anti-antisemitism novels of the 1940s Presenter: Rachel Gordan, Shorstein fellow in American Jewish Culture at UF The anti-antisemitism novels of the 1940s were one of the popular culture arenas in which an American re- sponse to the horrors of Nazi Germany occurred, as fiction proved an ideal genre for imagining and presenting possible solutions to the problem of antisemitism.

Fridays 1:00pm ZOOM only Join us as we enjoy watching and listening to some wonderful performances of the bel canto opera style com- posed by Gaetano Donizetti, sung by great opera dons and divas, and staged by the Metropolitan Opera. The vocal pyrotechnics and dramatic intensity of the plots make for an exciting opera experience! January 14, 21 Anna Bolena Facilitator: Coni Gesualdi Donizetti’s tragic opera, first produced in 1830 recounts the life of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of England’s King Henry VIII. Anne is unhappy because the King neglects her and finds pleasure elsewhere. The opera was Donizetti’s first great international success giving him his initial exposure to Paris and London audiences. Our presentation stars soprano Anna Netrebko who, according to the NY Times, “scored a personal triumph “ in her debut as the hapless Tudor Queen. January 28, Feb. 4 Maria Stuarda Facilitator: David Hickey Written in 1835 and the second of Gaetano Donizetti's "Tudor Queen Trilogy" bel canto operas, Maria Stuarda was based on an Italian translation of Friedrich Schiller's 1800 play of the same name. Famed for the incen- diary, if fictional, confrontation between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I of England, this opera finally made it to the Met in 2012 with a great production starring Joyce DiDonato and Eliza van den Heever. February 11, 18 Roberto Devereux Facilitator: Forrest Crawford Yet another of Gaetano Donizetti’s operas dealing with the Tudor period of English history, this opera is loose- ly based on the life of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, an influential member of the court of Queen Eliza- beth I. The opera was composed during serious crises in Donizetti’s life: the death of his parents, then the de- livery of a stillborn baby, the death of another child during birth, and lastly the death of his 28-year-old wife! Feb. 25, March 4 Lucia de Lammermoor Facilitator: Bud Shorstein We conclude the series of Donizetti bel canto operas about famous women of English history with this ac- count, not of a queen, but of a Scottish lady. Inspired by Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Bride of Lammermoor, the story concerns Lucy Ashton, an emotionally fragile woman caught in the middle of a feud between her family and that of the Ravenwoods. The setting is Scotland in the 17th century
