    This OLLI Contemporary Gender Roles Shared Interest Group was started by Deborah Caine to study and explore cultural changes in the roles of men and women in the family and in the workplace and the multiple changes in gender presentation and identity exemplified in the growth of the LGBTQ+ communities; changes not always easily understood by many.
    The group has grown over the last several years from three members to two dozen women and is actively seeking more male members who would enjoy the lively monthly discussions on topics of urgent and current interest.
    Members volunteer to lead a discussion on a topic of their choice and/or invite an outside speaker and circulate articles from major newspapers, magazines and journals that are relevant to group interests.  
    The Contemporary Gender Roles group sponsored an OLLI course on the Equal Rights Amendment in 2018 which was well attended.
    We meet on Zoom at 2 pm on the third Wednesday of the month. 
    Check out the Contemporary Gender Roles SIG Padlet, for articles, videos, and pictures here!
    For more information about this SIG, please contact Ellen Croibier.

    Walking Tour:

    Indian Town,
    Stockbridge, MA



    Four Sessions to Choose From!

    All tours are in person and onsite.

    September 9, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. led by Michael Forbes Wilcox 
    September 10, 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. led by Katherine Kidd 
    September 17, 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. led by Katherine Kidd - CANCELLED
    September 23, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. One walk led by Michael Forbes Wilcox and another by Katherine Kidd 

    Stockbridge was founded in 1737 as a mission and unique partnership with the Mohican.  English leaders taught the Mohicans English, and about Christianity and English agricultural practices while the Mohicans remained self-governing.

    The Stockbridge-Munsee community worked with Housatonic Heritage and other local partners to create a tour of the most important Mohican sites along Stockbridge’s main street. OLLI members, trained by one of the creators of the walking tour, will lead participants along Main Street to learn about the Mohicans who lived in Stockbridge for 50 years and aspects of their culture which are still present today. Stops include the Carriage Barn at the Mission House, the burial ground and the site of the 2021 archeological dig for the Mohican meeting house.

    Please register in advance.

    This walk is approximately a mile round trip and the sidewalks are accessible. Participants should be prepared to be walking and standing for about 90 minutes.

    This walking tour has been developed by the Stockbridge-Munsee Community highlighting the years in which they lived in Stockbridge. Presented in partnership with Housatonic Heritage. The walking tours are free and open to the public.

    The OLLI Distinguished Speakers Series presents:

    Sarah R. Cohen

    Art and Globalism in Eighteenth Century Europe

    Saturday, September 30
    at 3:00pm EDT

    In-person Only at the Berkshire Museum
    39 South Street, Pittsfield, MA


    This event will not be recorded.

    This lecture will explore art produced in Europe during the eighteenth century, a time traditionally known as the “Enlightenment,” but now studied for many other issues of social significance, including unprecedented global travel and commercial exchange. We will consider the visual and material aspects of various artistic media in a range of European countries, as well as art obtained from other parts of the world, and we will query how this art both represented and actively contributed to Europeans’ understandings of their own societies, as well as their perceptions and misperceptions of Asian, Turkish, Native American and African cultures.  Special attention will focus upon the ways art helped to shape Europeans’ gender politics and definitions of race both within Europe and in the slave-holding colonies of the Caribbean islands.

    Sarah R. Cohen, Professor of Art History in the Department of Art and Art History, University at Albany, SUNY, received her Ph.D. in the History of Art from Yale University. Her research has focused extensively upon representations of the body in European art from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Her first book, Art, Dance and the Body in French Culture of the Ancien  Régime, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2000, and she has published a number of articles on gesture and performance in early modern art. Her next two books addressed artistic representations of animals: Enlightened Animals in Eighteenth-century Art: Sensation, Matter and Knowledge (Bloomsbury, 2021) and Picturing Animals in Early Modern Art: Art and Soul (Brepols/Harvey Miller, 2022).  Sarah Cohen’s current work explores the global implications of art made for the French dining table in the eighteenth century.

    Admission is $10 for OLLI at BCC and Berkshire Museum members, and $15 for the general public.

    Admission is free for  students, staff and faculty from Berkshire Community College, MCLA, Simon's Rock, and Williams; youth 17 and under, and those holding WIC, EBT/SNAP, or ConnectorCare cards.

    Attention Chamber Music Lovers! 

    The Listening to Chamber Music SIG is for people who are interested in chamber music and who would enjoy learning about and listening to chamber music repertoire with other chamber music aficionados.  The proposed format will be that the leader of each meeting will provide program notes about a piece, the group will listen together and then discuss what they think about the piece.  This is the proposed format, it is expected that the group will tweak it and decide together what works best and which chamber works will please our collective ear. 

    This group is meeting on Zoom with once-a-month meetings.

    Contact Harriet Wetstone if you if you would like any additional information about this Listening to Chamber Music SIG.

    Creative Nonfiction Writing

    Shared Interest Group

    Meets the second Tuesday of the month at 

    9:30 a.m. Eastern

    Free and open exclusively to OLLI at BCC members

    Do you love to write and want to have a writers’ group to share and critique your work? If you do, consider joining our Creative Nonfiction SIG which meets monthly via Zoom. The format of our meetings will be flexible but will focus on each member sharing their work and receiving mindful critique from other group members.  At each meeting we will pick a leader for the next meeting. That leader will assign a prompt for the next meeting’s writings or writers may choose their own subject.

    What is creative nonfiction? It can be essay, memoir, personal narrative, travel writing, food writing, chronicle, fact-based essays, or biography. The commonality is that the writer uses literary techniques to tell the facts allowing the reader to understand the situations described in a fuller, more emotional way. As one writer — Melanie McGrath, whose book Silvertown, an account of her grandmother's life, describes her writing — the known facts of her stories are "the canvas on to which I have embroidered. Some of the facts have slipped through the holes—we no longer know them nor have any means of verifying them—and in these cases I have reimagined scenes or reconstructed events in a way I believe reflects the essence of the scene or the event in the minds and hearts of the people who lived through it. ... To my mind this literary tinkering does not alter the more profound truth of the story.”

    2023 Pulitzer Prize-winning play English, by Sanaz Toosi.
    This thought-provoking production delves into the lives of four students who, while hailing from the same native language background, come together in an Iranian classroom to prepare for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) proficiency exam. Amid the unique challenge of mastering a new language, their journey unfolds against the backdrop of a single, compelling rule: “English Only!” As they navigate the complexities of language acquisition, 
    English explores the power of communication, connection, and the shared human experience, reflecting the universal struggles and the unique nuances of embracing a new linguistic identity.

    The OLLI Distinguished Speakers Series presents

    Bonnie Stabile

    Sex, Lies, and Stereotypes: Gendered Politics and Women's Representation

    Thursday, October 19 at 7:00 p.m. ET

    Online via Zoom

    Women continue to be underrepresented in positions of power across sectors, including elective office and in private industry. Gendered narratives supporting stereotypes of women as unfit for leadership positions are evident in political rhetoric and in coverage in print and social media. This session will explore how biases in the treatment of candidates based on gender may be evident in or exacerbated by the promulgation of fake news, and further, how such rhetoric is apparent in everything from presidential speech to public policy. 

    Bonnie Stabile is Associate Dean for Student and Academic Affairs and Associate Professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, where she also founded and directs the Gender and Policy (GAP) Center. She is the author of Women, Power and Rape Culture: The Politics and Policy of Underrepresentation, published by Praeger in 2022 and published in academic journals including Public Integrity; the Journal of Public Affairs Education; Sexuality, Gender and Policy; Rhetoric Review; and Politics and the Life Sciences. She writes for Ms. Magazine and serves on the Ms. Committee of Scholars.

    Admission is $10 for OLLI at BCC and Berkshire Museum members, and $15 for the general public.

    Admission is free for  students, staff and faculty from Berkshire Community College, MCLA, Simon's Rock, and Williams; youth 17 and under, and those holding WIC, EBT/SNAP, or ConnectorCare cards.

    Pre-registration is required. Register safely and securely online or call 413.236.2190 (M-F 9am-4pm) to register by phone with a credit card.
