15 February 2024

On 31 December 2009 I retired from California State University Chico and am now associated with the University as a Professor Emeritus of Anthropology.

Since 2004 have made presentations on various cruises, with emphasis on "Peoples and Cultures of the Pacific" as well as World War II. Since 2009, my wife Carol ("Sadie") Urbanowicz, has also made numerous presentations on various cruises. Powepoint presentations that I have made on selected cruise itineraries have also included lectures dealing with Paul Gauguin, Charles Darwin as well as Science, Technology, and Creativity. I have lectured on itineraries of the following ships and in alphabetical order they are: Amsterdam (2008, 2013, 2015, & 2016), Maasdam (2018a & 2018b), Noordam (2016), Ocean Princess (2015) (note: formerly known as the Tahitian Princess), Oosterdam (2012), Pacific Princess (2006), Paul Gauguin (2007, 2016, 2017, 2022a & 2022b), Prinsendam (2009), Queen Elizabeth (2012), Queen Elizabeth 2 (2007), Queen Victoria (2011), Rhapsody of the Seas (2011), Rotterdam (2010), Ryndam (2008), Sapphire Princess (2007 & 2014), Seabourn Sojourn (2017 & 2018), Spirit of Oceanus (2009), Star Princess (2012), Statendam (2013, 2014, & 2015), Tahitian Princess (2004 & 2005) (note: now known as the Ocean Princess), Viking Sun (2018 & 2020), Volendam (2010 & 2014), and Zaandam (2008 & 2011). In 2016 and in 2017 I was a designated a "Smithsonian Journeys Expert" for the Paul Gauguin on a "Voyage" to French Polynesia. In June 2022 I provided lectures on the first ever "Chairman's Cruise" on the Le Paul Gauguin in French Polynesia and in September 2022 I was a Smithsonian Journeys Expert for a "Cruising French Polynesia" cruise on the Le Paul Gauguin.

In March-April 2020, my wife and I were scheduled to provide lectures on the Oosterdam, but the cruise was cancelled due to COVID-19. In January 2021 I was to have been the Smithsonian Journeys Expert on the Wind Spirit in French Polynesia but the cruise was cancelled due to COVID-19. In February 2021 my wife and I were scheduled to provide lectures on the Seabourn Sojourn on a cruise from Tahiti to Australia but that cruise was cancelled due to COVID-19. In November 2021 I was to have been the Smithsonian Journeys Expert on the Wind Spirit in French Polynesia but that cruise was cancelled due to COVID-19. In January-February 2022 my wife and I were scheduled to provide lectures and be Conversationalists on the Seabourn Sojourn from Honolulu to Auckland but that cruise was cancelled due to COVID-19.

This particular page is updated on an occasional basis and includes academic publications, tourist information, various web pages, as well as various items that might be found in a city, county, college, or university library. The following words of the distinguished Pacific scholar O. H. K. Spate [1911-2000] are well worth considering as you peruse this page:

"If it would take a lifetime to visit all the shores and islands of the Pacific, one sometimes feels it would take nine lives to master fully the vast literature of the deep. All that the explorer can do is to mark some positions and take some soundings.... [stress added]." Oskar Hermann Khristian Spate, 1979, The Spanish Lake (University of Minnesota Press), page x.
