The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Fresno State will present a lecture and question and answer opportunity with classicist and historian Dr. Victor Davis Hanson.

Hanson works with Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, a program dedicated to research on domestic policy and international affairs. Hanson is a retired and honorary Fresno State professor.

He joined the Fresno State faculty in 1984 and initiated a classics program before leaving to the acclaimed Hoover program at Stanford in 2004.

Hanson, who lives in Selma, has written about 170 articles, book reviews and newspaper editorials on Greek, agrarian and military history and contemporary culture according to his biography.

He has recently written articles on government actions surrounding Hurricane Katrina and the war in Iraq and has released a new book “A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War,” which will be publish in October by Random House.

He has also won several awards including the American Philological Association Excellence in Teaching Award in 1991, which is given to undergraduate teachers of Greek and Latin, the Eric Breindel Award for opinion journalism in 2002 and Alumnus of the Year at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2002, where he received his B.A. in 1975.

The OLLI, a new program at Fresno State created for adults 50 and older who wish to continue learning, is hosting the event on Wednesday, Sept. 28 in the Satellite Student Union from 5-7:30 p.m. Admission is free for Osher members and costs $10 for everyone else. Seating is limited. To reserve tickets call 278-0008, for all other information visit www.csufresno.edu/ExtendedEd/osher.htm.
