Alzheimer's disease and related dementias impact more than 6 million families, with 15 million projected to be affected by 2050. Although we're learning that it is possible to reduce the risk of dementia and slow the rate of cognitive decline, we do not yet have a national effort focused on prevention. Kelly O'Brien from UsAgainstAlzheimer's and Dr. David Hoffman of Maria College and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors talk about why we need a national dementia prevention goal, and how public-private partnerships can advance the fight against Alzheimer's and related dementias.Hosted by: Leanne Clark-Shirley, PhD, Vice President, Programs & Thought Leadership at the American Society on Aging with Peter Kaldes, President & CEO of the American Society on AgingGuests:Kelly O'Brien, Executive Director, Brain Health Partnership, UsAgainstAlzheimer'sDavid Hoffman, DPS, CCE, Associate Dean for Academic Initiatives and Government Affairs, Maria College, additional faculty appointments with Alden March Bioethics Institute at Albany Medical College and University at Albany School of Public Health and Associate at Large Director, National Association of Chronic Disease DirectorsResources:A Shared National Goal to Reduce Dementia Prevalence Call for a National Dementia Prevention GoalDementia prevention, intervention, and care: 2020 report of the Lancet Commission Public members of the advisory council on Alzheimer's research, care and services: 2020 recommendations

Episode Topic: Jack HallWe begin with "Jack Hall," an old ballad that has its origins in the early eighteenth century. It begins as a narrative of the life of a convicted criminal who was executed at Tyburn Tree in 1707, but then mutates across time, with recordings by Irish and American artists like the Dubliners and Johnny Cash. We will ask what each of these versions contribute to the evolving tradition of the song, and how it became so widely known.Featured Speakers: Ian Newman, Professor in the English Department and Fellow of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies and of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, University of Notre DameRev.

Episode Topic: "Jerusalem"This week we focus on what has become the national anthem for England (as opposed to Great Britain): the song known as "Jerusalem." With words by the poet William Blake and music by Charles Hubert Parry, this strange song is sung in the terraces at sporting events, performed at Royal Weddings and classical concerts, and is played as the soundtrack to "Visit England" tourism advertisements. We'll consider how an obscure lyric, part of a preface to an esoteric and highly enigmatic prophetic poem, became one of the best known patriotic songs in England.Featured Speakers: Ian Newman, Professor in the English Department and Fellow of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies and of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, University of Notre DameRev.

Episode Topic: "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square"In the final week of London in Song, we focus on one of the most successful London songs of the twentieth century. Written in 1939, with words by Eric Maschwitz and music by Manning Sherwin, this romantic ballad was quickly established as a standard of the lounge repertoire and has been recorded by Vera Lynn, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Harry Connick Jr., Mel Torme, and Rod Stewert among many others. The song takes its title from a short story by Michael Arlen. This week we will consider what happens in the translation from short story to song, and we will ask what it means for a nightingale to sing in Berkeley Square.Featured Speakers: Ian Newman, Professor in the English Department and Fellow of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies and of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, University of Notre DameRev.

Episode Topic: Alfred Hitchcock's "Sabotage"In the last week of our Hitchcock in London book club, we examine "Sabotage," (1936) the film he adapted from Joseph Conrad's novel "The Secret Agent" (1907). The film makes some noticeable changes from the novel, in its setting, representation of the police, and in the role of Winnie. It also includes two famous sequences that illustrate Hitchcock's philosophy about the importance of editing and the differences between surprise and suspense.Featured Speakers:Susan Ohmer, The William T. and Helen Kuhn Carey Associate Professor of Modern Communication, University of Notre DameKieron Webb, Head of Conservation, British Film InstituteRev.

Episode Topic: Joseph Conrad's "The Secret Agent"Joseph Conrad's novel "The Secret Agent" follows a group of anarchists in London near the end of the 19th century as they plot to destroy symbols of Victorian England. Conrad's depiction of the group was influenced by the political experiences of his youth and his years working on ships that traveled the world. The novel takes an ironic tone towards the anarchists' political views that was inspired by conversations Conrad had with their supporters and by newspaper accounts of anarchist activities in the 1890s. The sense of London we gain from the novel, especially as the characters walk through different areas of the city, is reinforced by photographs from the period.Featured Speakers:Susan Ohmer, The William T. and Helen Kuhn Carey Associate Professor of Modern Communication, University of Notre DameKieron Webb, Head of Conservation, British Film InstituteRev.

Episode Topic: The Film of "The Lodger" In week 2 of our book club, we will discuss Alfred Hitchcock's film adaptation of Marie Belloc Lowndes' novel "The Lodger." "The Lodger" was the first film Hitchcock directed in London after completing two films in Germany in 1925. It stars Ivor Novello, a matinee idol of his time, and is notable for its expressive use of lighting and shadow, qualities influenced by German films of the period. Changes in several characters from the novel, especially Daisy and the detective, create a more ambiguous moral universe for the film and challenge our assumptions about the lodger's guilt. In directing his first feature in the U.K., Hitchcock benefited from collaborating with experienced colleagues such as Ivor Montagu and screenwriter Eliot Stannard and we will talk about the influence of London's thriving film culture on his work.Featured Speakers:Susan Ohmer, The William T. and Helen Kuhn Carey Associate Professor of Modern Communication, University of Notre DameKieron Webb, Head of Conservation, British Film InstituteRev.

Episode Topic: "The Lodger" We begin by reading Marie Belloc Lowndes' novel "The Lodger," which was published in 1913 and became an immediate, worldwide hit, selling more than one million copies in the next twenty years. The novel focuses on the Buntings, a married couple on the verge of desperation who are rescued by a mysterious man who rents a room in their house. The novel charts their growing suspicion towards him: Is he linked to the series of murders that are taking place in the neighborhood? What about his attraction for their daughter Daisy? The Lodger creates an atmosphere of doubt and mistrust that challenges us to decide for ourselves who is guilty.Featured Speakers:Susan Ohmer, The William T. and Helen Kuhn Carey Associate Professor of Modern Communication, University of Notre DameKieron Webb, Head of Conservation, British Film InstituteRev.

One technical college in Wisconsin is blazing a new trail by offering college credit for core courses using prior learning assessment (PLA) – credits typically reserved for electives. Awarding PLA credit beyond electives has yielded unforeseen results for individuals and the institution. Guest Lynette Livingston, Executive Dean of Business, Arts, Sciences, and Academic Initiatives at Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, shares how her institution started with curriculum profiling.  [Show Notes] The process of curriculum profiling helped CVTC evaluate how ACT® WorkKeys® Assessments correlated to a current core math course. Although hesitant initially, educators recognized the benefit of awarding credit to students who have proof of demonstrated skills. Rather than reassessing students to prove their competency a second time, students are able to take more advanced courses. Ultimately, this incentive encourages students to finish a degree program more quickly. In fact, creating a dual-credit program alongside the PLA program has increased enrollment at CVTC.  Lynette shares the motivation behind starting with a curriculum profile, challenges CVTC overcame to successfully implement a prior learning assessment program, and what they learned along the way. Listen to Episode 3 to learn how CVTC leverages their prior learning assessment program as a recruitment tool.
