SUMMARY:Successes and Failures: A Comparative History of Finland and the USSR in the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nOne of the arguments advanced by the proponents of communist ideas is that in spite of all the horrors of Stalinism and other communist regimes\, they greatly contributed to the advancement of the countries where they managed to establish themselves. Taking into account the fact that in 1900 Grand Duchy of Finland was part of Russian Empire but in 1917 both parts took radically different paths of their development\, a comparative history from 1900 to 1991 may give us a glimpse into successes and drawbacks of different political systems. \n\nGrand Duchy of Finland within the Russian Empire\, 1900-1917\nRevolution and Emergence of Independent Finland: why the Whites won in Finland?\nUneasy co-existence in the interwar Period\nWinter War of 1939-40 and continuation war of 1941-44. How Finland managed to preserve its independence?\n“Finlandization”: Finland and the USSR in the era of the Cold War\nEnd of the Cold War and recent developments in the relations between Finland and Russia\n\nDates and time:\nTues Sep 17           1:30-3:30 pm                    Thomas Sill Multi-Purpose Room\nTues Sep 24          1:30-3:30 pm                    Thomas Sill Multi-Purpose Room\nTues Oct 1              1:30-3:30 pm                    Thomas Sill Multi-Purpose Room\nTues Oct 8              1:30-3:30 pm                    Thomas Sill Multi-Purpose Room\nNo class Oct 15\nTues Oct 22            1:30-3:30 pm                    Thomas Sill Multi-Purpose Room\nTues Oct 29            1:30-3:30 pm                    Thomas Sill Multi-Purpose Room \nBiography:\nOlexandr Shevchenko is a lifelong student and teacher of history.

That is the only area he practices in. \nMike has many years of experience in all levels of court including Provincial Court\, The Court of King’s Bench\, the Manitoba Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. \nHome base is Winnipeg but he also travels throughout the province helping people who are accused of crimes. \nWhen he is not in the courtroom\, he loves to run marathons.  He has coached many runners in Winnipeg to attain their running goals. He has much community involvement\, inter alia\, President of the Manitoba Criminal Justice Association\, former President of the Manitoba Marathon Board\, former President of the Winnipeg Public Library Board\, former President of the University of Winnipeg Students’ Association\, former Board member at St. Mary’s Academy to highlight a few. \nHe looks forward to discussing law with the students of the 55Plus program. \nIf you are experiencing difficulty with the online registration process\, please call (204) 988-7650 to register by phone. \nTo learn more about the University of Winnipeg’s 55+ program\, please click here. \nTo view a University of Winnipeg campus map\, parking map or accessibility map\, please click here. \nIf you have any questions about this course\, or would like to be added to a waitlist\, please email b.doran@uwinnipeg.ca

SUMMARY:Astronomy: How did we get here?
DESCRIPTION:Course Description \nAstronomy is the study of the universe and all the matter and energy in it. It gives us a perspective on what it means to be here on Earth. It can help us locate ourselves in space and time. Once we realize how vast our universe is\, it may seem humbling at first\, but we can be proud of how much humans have understood in such a short time. Astronomy places us in the physical processes that govern the universe. Gravity and atoms work together to make stars\, light the universe\, generate energy\, and create the chemical elements in our bodies. By learning astronomy\, we can see how we fit into that cosmic process. \nAlthough we are very small and human beings have existed in the universe for only a short time\, we are an important part of something very large and very beautiful. We will look at how the various structures of the universe came to be. How did life on the Earth begin? Is there a likelihood of life elsewhere?  All of these ideas will be considered from the point of view of the latest scientific developments. \n  \nBiography of Instructor \nVesna Milosevic-Zdjelar\, former astrophysicist from the National Observatory in Belgrade\, Serbia\, joined The University of Winnipeg’s Physics Department in 2000. In Canada\, she obtained a degree in science education\, and has made important contributions teaching science courses to non-science and life sciences students\, and creating community awareness by initiating science outreach programs. Together with two colleagues\, she created a course “Concepts in Science” which became the preferred science course choice for education and arts students at the University of Winnipeg\, with enrolment increasing tenfold. Vesna’s passion for science education has led to numerous presentations at conferences and symposia for university instructors and science teachers. She teaches a broad range of courses including Astronomy\, Cosmology\, Concepts in Science\, Physics for Life Sciences and Physics of Music. \n  \nDates and time                                                                   Location \nWinter 2025 Term 1                                                                Axworthy Health and RecPlex \nWed Jan 8                               1:30 to 3:30 pm                      Multipurpose Room \nWed Jan 15                             1:30 to 3:30 pm                      Multipurpose Room \nWed Jan 22                             1:30 to 3:30 pm                      Multipurpose Room \nWed Jan 29                             1:30 to 3:30 pm                      Multipurpose Room \nWed Feb 5                               1:30 to 3:30 pm                      Multipurpose Room \nWed Feb 12                             1:30 to 3:30 pm                      Multipurpose Room \n  \nIf you are experiencing difficulty with the online registration process\, please call (204) 988-7650 to register by phone. \nTo learn more about the University of Winnipeg’s 55+ program\, please click here. \nTo view a University of Winnipeg campus map\, parking map or accessibility map\, please click here. \nIf you have any questions about this course\, or would like to be added to a waitlist\, please email b.doran@uwinnipeg.ca.
