deeper for more profound insight into why things happened the way they did.”

Talking to Ray Illsley in the main concourse of the McPherson Library at UVic is almost like chatting to him in his own living room at home.

He is relaxed but radiates an energy that one senses comes from being in the midst of an environment that suits him. “I just love being at university,” he enthuses.

Being older than some of the professors who teach the courses he is taking doesn’t deter him at all. “Sometimes they throw out a reference that they know I’ll get but no one else will,” he says with a wry smile.

“Honestly, when I first started thinking about taking more education courses, having retired from a long career as a chef, it was for the possible health benefits—lessening the chances of Alzheimer’s and so on. But I soon realized that I was really just picking up the threads of something that I’d been doing all along—looking for the answers to some of the big questions in history and in life.”

His enthusiasm for history is infectious. “I’ve always been fascinated by history and love reading about it. This program is tying in all the events and facts for me—all the whys and the wherefores—and giving me the ability to delve

“My attention span may even be longer than some of the younger students here and that gives me some advantage when doing a lot of reading.

It may actually be something that older people not so completely immersed in the online world handle better.”

Our conversation was frequently interrupted by people on their way to and from classes greeting Ray, at least one going off with some much needed encouragement from him about getting on with an assignment.

“The energy here is great, really positive,” he says.

“I think everyone who is lucky enough to be here, whatever their age, should really appreciate that fact and use the time well.”

Ray started in the program at the beginning of 2011 and is working his way through courses that include 20th-century history and subjects such as World War II and Yiddish language and culture.

He is also doing a course on academic reading and writing, which he says is challenging but just as rewarding in the way it is helping him organize his own ideas.

Ray plans to finish the Humanities Diploma and then go on to pursue a bachelor’s degree in history.

His family, which includes two teenage children still at home, are very supportive of his passion for the university life.

“My wife, who is a university grad, is always telling me I’m smarter than I think I am. I actually felt quite lost this summer during the period when I had no course to attend. Everyone else was enjoying the break but I couldn’t wait to get back to classes.”

The Arts HISTORY IN ART NEW The Dream Palaces: Movie Theatre Design, 1910–1960

Going to “the show” was a genuine event each week for moviegoers from 1910 up to about 1960, an evening out for which they dressed in suit and tie, hat and gloves and kept their children quiet.

The movie palaces were the settings for dreams, fantasy and romance on-screen and came to match the splendour of the films themselves.

Exotic architecture from Egypt, China, baroque and rococo France and Italy, and Imperial Rome, often with ceilings depicting the night skies across which the stars actually moved, became the inspiration for vast auditoriums. There were the great art deco and streamlined visions, all fitted out to make the ordinary mortal feel like a king or queen.

Hollywood Art Deco

Think Fred and Ginger, Jean Harlow, Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, William Powell and Myrna Loy, plus a host of others, and place them in their glistening blackand-white interiors inspired by Paris art deco of the late 1920s. The result is one of the most beautiful and glamorous “looks” of world film. Hollywood deco was mostly characterized by its interiors but the clothes, jewels and cars of the stars also played major roles in creating the razzle and the dazzle of Hollywood’s golden age. This course will trace the development of the style using stills and film clips, and archival material on outstanding art deco homes of the stars and public buildings in Hollywood itself.

A Perfect Fifth!

Call it what you will—a coming-out … a sudden arrival of maturity … a midlife crisis. With uncanny frequency, “The Fifth” is the ordinal applied to a major work in a composer’s oeuvre. Whether “The Emperor” concerto of Beethoven or Wagner’s Tannhäuser, or any of the remarkable fifth symphonies by composers as varied as Mahler, Tchaikovsky and Schubert, somehow “The Fifth” manages to rise as cream to the top: the best of the best a composer has to offer the world.

In this class we will explore a selection of these phenomenal “Fifths” that have enchanted listeners through the ages. No prior experience in music is required. Refreshments will be served.

Richard Wagner: The Composer and the Ring Cycle NEW

Perhaps no one in the history of opera has equalled Richard Wagner in his vision and ability to combine the art of poetry, drama and music into one inclusive art form: the music drama. According to Wagner, a revolution in all aspects of 19thcentury opera was needed to bring it to new creative heights. With this vision, Wagner created his Ring Cycle that included four music dramas: Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. Wagner not only wrote the poetry and composed the music for these dramas but also commissioned the construction of special instruments, as well as designing a special theatre for their continued performances. This course will take you on a journey of Wagner, the man, the composer and the detailed examination of his music dramas of the Ring Cycle. Musical excerpts of these dramas will also be included in the course. No previous musical or opera experience is required.

Music Appreciation: What to Listen for in Music

THEATRE

Are you sensitive to everything that is going on in music? Do you often feel confused when confronted with new music? This course aims to encourage the art of listening. We will explore the fundamental technical components of music (melody, harmony, rhythm, etc.) and how composers develop these elements to create a composition, whether classical or popular. An understanding of the technical elements of music may lead to a conscious awareness of music as a whole, and an understanding of its higher levels of meaning.

No musical background is required to enjoy and benefit from this course.

Beethoven Poet: Hector Berlioz’s Romantic Image of Beethoven NEW

In the 1830s, at the dawn of French romanticism, Beethoven’s symphonies premiered in Paris to mixed reviews. In this course, we explore how the young composer–critic Hector Berlioz swayed the public to embrace Beethoven in the romantic image of Poet—as a Titan who broke the “rules” to create unprecedented levels of expression and multisensory aesthetic effects. Berlioz describes these expressive effects by using a range of vivid imagery, notably analogy: with the high drama of Shakespeare and Goethe to describe the Fifth and Seventh Symphonies; with the famous landscape art of Michelangelo and Poussin to describe the Pastoral Symphony; and with the new literary ideas of Victor Hugo to promote Beethoven’s controversial Ninth Symphony. As such, we discover Beethoven’s symphonies as “poems” that supersede the expressive ability of all other arts.

Musical knowledge is helpful, but not necessary to enjoy and benefit from this course.

Collagraph, a form of hand-pulled print, forms the nuts and bolts of the first part of this two-day course. Once you’ve pulled your own prints you will be introduced to a new process called ink collage, where the plate becomes the art form. We will explore the imagemaking component of ink collage, where several new textural materials are incorporated into the plate building.

This course is designed for those who have completed Watercolour for Beginners or a similar course with Joanne Thomson as the instructor. Expect to build on the basics of colour mixing and composition and move toward a more individualized style of expression. There will be project opportunities for you to try out new things.

From there, learn about effective colour application which, with the textural material, will create light and dark passages that will add flair and depth to your imagery. At the end of the workshop you will leave with your own hand-pulled prints, ink collage and a strong understanding of successful composition, color use and collage application.

BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT

Lucas has a passion for bringing challenging projects to fruition. She was hired to help create one of the top 50 golf courses in Canada. In 1996 Margaret was committed to bringing Tiger Woods, then a student at Stanford University, to play Olympic View.

This was the first Canadian golf course that Tiger Woods would play until many years later when he made an appearance at the Canadian Open.

In 2003 Lucas moved downtown to become the new manager of the Hotel Douglas. She was saddled with the challenge of transforming a business which did little to contribute to the appeal and allure of downtown. With the support and encouragement of the owners, the Danzo family and her boss, Eric Donald, she set about changing the overall image of the hotel from that of a

liability to an asset. With a visionary business plan, she has worked tirelessly over the past eight years to bring life back to a part of the downtown that was once considered undesirable.

Lucas is an asset to the many committees and boards that she sits on because she brings the voice of business, understands the regional perspective, cares deeply about our downtown and is not afraid of getting involved. She is currently on the Board of Governors at Camosun College, a director for the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence and for the Victoria Hospice and Palliative Care Foundation, a member of the Victoria Citizens Advisory Committee for the Johnson Street Bridge project and a Governor of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce. Her hard work and community spirit earned her the “2009 Business Person of the Year” award.

Her involvement in the community as a whole makes her a force for positive change in Victoria.

Faraway places and firm friends

Learner Profile: Travel Study Program

Main photo: Anne McLaughlin at the Taj Mahal, Agra, India in 1991. Inset: Anne McLaughlin (left) enjoying cocktails with friends at New York’s historic Algonquin Hotel in May 2011.

Anne McLaughlin’s connection with UVic goes back to the very first day: July 1, 1963. She was one of only three teachers of physical education.

Things progressed, however, and in time the university had its own School of Physical Education (now the School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education). In 1971 McLaughlin became the director of the Faculty of Education’s advising centre.

McLaughlin retired from UVic in 1991. “I went to Victoria College, so technically I’m not a UVic grad,” she says, “but after 28 years on campus I feel like the place is partly mine.”

Before she retired McLaughlin signed up for a travel study tour through what was then called UVic’s Division of University Extension and Community Relations (later renamed the Division of Continuing Studies). “Visiting China

in 1989 was a fabulous trip. Everyone seemed to be wearing the Mao style tunics and there was a noticeable lack of colour. That’s what struck me in 1994 when I went back to China on another Travel Study tour—the colour seemed to have returned.”

In 1990, McLaughlin experienced the USSR on a travel study tour that went all over the country in short hops, sometimes just an overnight stay in one city before heading to the next location.

“The only fresh vegetable that seemed to be everywhere was the hydroponically grown cucumber,” she remembers. “McDonald’s had just opened in Moscow and someone in the group knew someone from Canada who was working there … so we paid a visit.”

Having definitely got the travel bug, McLaughlin went on the tour to India in 1991. “The Persian Gulf War was still going on and because of that, I suppose, there were fewer tourists around. It was an amazing time to see India.”

“The 1993 tour to the Galápagos Islands was a standout trip for me. One week on a 20-passenger yacht with a naturalist who really

knew her stuff. We were lucky to see it all at a time of fewer restrictions than there are now. It was a sheer delight.”

In total, McLaughlin has been on 23 travel study tours—10 of those as on-site coordinator, a role she was invited to take on and one that she has taken in her stride.

“I’ve met all sorts of people on these tours, made new friends … relationships that have lasted,” she says. Attitude is important, she adds; to get the most out of these travel experiences, “You need to be open minded and adaptable.“ “They’re nothing like commercial tours—you get the lectures ahead of time, and great background material to prepare you. I’ve never felt any trepidation. I’ve been spurred on by curiosity and confidence in the quality of the UVic experience.”

What’s next? Not decided yet, says McLaughlin, but it won’t take her long to pack.

F.M. Alexander Technique Discover the Benefits of Balance The Alexander Technique is a subtle body–mind technique, involving an interactive process of change through everyday actions. Find increased spontaneity by becoming more conscious of unnecessary and often life-long habits. Through poise and improved use of our voices, we can replace unconscious tension, freeing untapped energy through easier breath and movement.

Improved kinaesthetic awareness allows muscular tension to dissolve. This weekend will include individual and group study, as well as visual and written resources. There are no specific exercises or special equipment, and this practice can be applied anywhere; work, school or home. We will observe and develop practical applications for ongoing self maintenance, addressing particular concerns that may arise with individuals in the group. The Alexander Technique is versatile and can be fulfilling at any age or ability.

Note: Please wear comfortable clothing and bring an exercise mat or towel. Note that lunch is not provided; please bring a bag lunch. This workshop is two full days.

Instructor: Ms. Johanna Godliman, BA, mSTAT, mCANSTAT (Society of Teachers of the FM Alexander Technique), is a member of the Canadian Society of Alexander Teachers and the worldwide Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique based in the UK. She has been teaching the technique since 1990.

Exercise For Your Mind

Physical Fitness for a Healthy, Aging Brain The human brain contains more than 100 billion brain cells, or neurons, each linked to as many as 10,000 other neurons. As we grow older, we lose both neurons and the branches of these cells (called dendrites, which allow for communication between cells). This course will review some of the latest research on how exercise affects the brain, enhancing both its structure and function throughout the aging process. Physical exercise

A Natural Approach to Addressing Female Hormonal Concerns Many women suffer from issues related to their menstrual cycle, so much so that having symptoms of PMS or menopause is often considered normal in our society. Just because something is common does not mean that it is naturally the way it should be. This course will empower women with knowledge of their own cycles/hormones and how factors such as environment, food, digestion, the birth control pill/HRT and stress can impact them. A naturopathic approach can help to promote comfortable menses, regular cycles and a healthy hormone balance. This session is relevant to all women, including those who suffer from conditions such as PMS, menstrual cramps, irregular cycles, PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis or who are approaching or experiencing menopause.

Bring your mothers, daughters, sisters and friends!

Prostate Cancer and Men’s Health NEW

Men’s Health Initiative of British Columbia (MHIBC): A Vision for a Healthier, Longer Living Man (1:00 to 1:45 pm): One hundred years ago men and women had equal average lifespans.

Over the past century, in countries around the world, including Canada, a consistent pattern has developed: males experience higher mortality rates than females across the spectrum of life, from conception to old age. It is only in the past decade that world governmental and nongovernmental organizations are forming to address the issues of male-specific health. MHIBC is spearheading a men’s global health movement, and is a non-profit organization with a vision to “add ten better quality years” to men’s lives, especially in middle age.

This initiative is reaching out to men of all ages, and looking at attitudes and behaviors through a ‘male lens’ to advise lifestyle guidelines, treatment, care and prevention services. Join us to discuss how you can be an advocate for men’s health.

PSA: Simple Test, Not-So-Simple Solution (1:45 to 2:30 pm): Prostate Cancer is the most common male cancer in Canada and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. Within our country’s aging

baby boomer population, prostate cancer cases will continue to increase and threaten longevity and quality of life. The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test has long been used as a diagnostic test for prostate cancer, but there are problems—it simply isn’t as accurate a test as men would like.

This session will address the controversies and reality of PSA as a screening, diagnostic and prognostic tool, and will consider some new and future options to improve on PSA. A question-andanswer session will follow the presentation, so come with your questions ready!

Prostate Cancer and Men’s Health NEW

Men’s Health Initiative of British Columbia: Connecting the Dots (10:30 to 11:15 am): In BC, average male life expectancy is currently 4.4 years less than females. The potential to develop a Men’s Health program in British Columbia is here and now; by building on the expertise we currently have across multiple institutions and disciplines, we can become global leaders and develop a strong model of male health care, awareness, education, research and advocacy. In this session, learn about “connecting the dots” or, connecting the diverse foci of excellence in our health care delivery sectors, including government, public health, and educational and research communities in BC, and exploring these foci through a “male lens.” This session will address how “connecting all of these dots” will open the door for establishing a male-friendly health-oriented society that is an equal partner to women’s, children’s, aboriginal and immigrant health initiatives, and what you can do to get involved.

PSA—The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (11:15 to 12:00 pm): Many experts are stepping back to take a look at the implications of the widespread use of PSA screening. This shift comes on the heels of a growing body of evidence showing that the benefits of PSA screening may not outweigh the potential harm of unnecessary treatment.

Although experts are somewhat split on the value of PSA tests as a screening tool, there is widespread agreement on two major points: over-diagnosis and over-treatment rates are far too high, and there is an urgent need to refine PSA testing to be a more effective screening tool.

In this session, learn about the realities of PSA testing and the controversies around using this as a diagnostic tool.

This course shows how life in the Highlands was different from the Lowlands and other parts of Great Britain and how similar to Ireland it was.

The Scottish Highlands: 16th and 17th Centuries

Science vs. Religion

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the laws and customs of the Scottish Highlands were considered archaic; they were common in western Europe in the High Middle Ages, but had disappeared by the Renaissance. Highland chiefs were still inaugurated, not crowned, in ancient ceremonies and revered by their clansmen as quasi-sacred figures.

A Highland assembly for justice in the 17th century resembled a Viking thing of the 10th or 11th centuries. Secular marriage outside the church was normal. What really frightened Lowlanders and English was the chiefs’ ability to raise a small army

It seems that science and religion, whatever form they may have taken in the past, have always been at odds with each other. In this course, we will explore that historical relationship, as well as look at the fundamental elements of each which have caused so much dissension and difficulty throughout history.

However, our minds can change, and by exploring the nature of our minds we will discover through our own experiences that in fact, it has limitless potential and we can all become the joyful, loving, beneficial people we long to be.

Exploring Aging through Film NEW

The quality and nature of later life experience is changing and so are attitudes. Canadians are living longer than ever before. Older, healthier adults continue to contribute to society and engage in a variety of meaningful activities, and more and more of us are recognizing this new, emerging vision of old age as our own. The impact of this “longevity revolution” on how we live and understand our lives has far-reaching implications and is being reexamined by governments, researchers and educators as well as those in the social sciences, arts and humanities.

Film, perhaps more than any other contemporary medium, offers portrayals of old age in a breadth of social contexts providing alternatives to the now-outdated views that equate aging with decline and age 65 with the end of development.

How is the journey through later life depicted in modern films? How do these portrayals relate to the scientific data available on aging and development? Do these films reflect what we have learned and are learning about the aging process from those who have embarked on this later life journey? Do they ring true to our own experiences?

This course spans 10 weeks of feature film screenings, reading and group discussions, and will reshape your perspective on the changing realities of aging and how they are portrayed in film.

There are nine film and discussion sessions and one final class discussion scheduled. The films are: The Straight Story; Harry and Tonto; Away from Her; The Private Lives of Pippa Lee; The Savages; O’Horten; Wrestling Ernest Hemingway; Wild Strawberries; and Driving Miss Daisy.

This course is also offered for undergraduate credit through the departments of geography, sociology and psychology at UVic. Instructor: Holly Tuokko, PhD Date: Tuesdays, January 24 to April 3 Time: 6:30 to 9:20 pm Sessions: 10 Fee: $100 plus $12.00 HST Code: ASHI504 2012S C01

A Journey in the Footsteps of the Israelites The journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land is widely regarded as one of the most important events in the Bible, yet biblical geographers are still uncertain as to which route the Israelites actually travelled. In this course we will attempt to retrace the footsteps of the Israelites using maps, artifacts and photographs.

It is hoped that by exploring the cartographic representation of this event in detail, we will be able to identify a variety of discourses embedded in the text, and thereby enrich our understanding of the narrative.

Instructor: Paul G. Chamberlain, PhD, is a historical geographer who specializes in the Middle East; he is interested in textual criticism and comparative theology. He has spent time in Egypt and Israel, and travelled across the Sinai with the Bedouin, exploring sites associated with the Exodus.

Often, when we look at our life, we feel stuck in fixed external situations and in unhelpful ways of thinking. Rather than creating the life we want, we settle for coping with the life we feel we have. But the truth is that we can create the joyful and fulfilling life we want. Buddha’s teachings on karma give us the tools we need to begin bringing about this transformation here and now.

This course will include discussion on the following topics: • freedom from the past • karma—creating the life we want • a vision of change

Poetry, Song and Magic in Germanic and Celtic Societies NEW

In the medieval world of the North Sea, poetry held the key to reality itself. Bards and satirists in Ireland could deform kings while the heroes of the Norse sagas could expel poisons, fool trolls and converse with the gods—all through the use of poetry. This course looks at the intersection of poetic and mythological perceptions and practices in Norse and Irish society, including principles of composition and experimentation.

An Evening on … Easter Island Easter Island, lovingly called Rapa Nui by the locals since the 1860s, also bears more romantic, ancient names, such as Te pito o te henua, meaning “the navel of the world” and, perhaps most fittingly, Mata-ki-Te-rangi, which means “eyes looking to the sky”—a most apt name when we consider the almost 900 moai statues left behind by the ancient islanders, carved in just 300 years during the European Late Middle Ages.

In this illustrated talk, we’ll explore this tiny island (smaller than Salt Spring Island), and look at its ancient discovery by Polynesian explorers, its more modern discovery by Europeans, and its untimely

Pagan Ritual in the Shadows of Christian Europe

Psychological Effects of the Transition to Retirement

Irish monks were famously though strangely comfortable with the persistence of pre-Christian practices in their lands, while Iceland, Norway and Sweden remained resistant to conversion until the 11th century. In this series of lectures, we will look at the evidence for the persistence of pre-Christian beliefs and practices around the North Sea, particularly in Ireland, Scotland, Iceland and Scandinavia. In addition to medieval sources, we will also consider folklore and custom as it persisted into the modern period in order to see what remains of these pre-Christian beliefs and perceptions.

Psychological effects of disengagement from a work life and the transition to retirement are to be discussed in this course. These effects include partial identity loss, decision paralysis, diminished self trust, experience of a post retirement void, the search for meaningful engagement in society, development of a retirement/life structure, the confluence of aging and retirement, death anxiety, the critical nurturing of social relationships and self actualization. Some aspects of pre-retirement life that can be predictive of a successful transition are also presented. This course is relevant for future and extant retirees, counsellors and retirement advisors, with clients who are planning to retire or have retired.

25th Annual Medieval Workshop:

Magicians, Seers and Sages Saturday, February 4, 2012 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Magician, shaman, seer, witch, sage, wizard, sorcerer, sibyl: many words have been used to describe the charismatic individuals believed to be able to glimpse future events and penetrate the barriers between the physical world and the spiritual realm. They are the possessors of arcane wisdom and the performers of magic, both benevolent and malignant. Such skills might engender veneration in some, fear and revulsion in others. Confrontation with established religions could lead to brutal results including the torture and burning of women alleged to be witches. The 25th Annual Medieval Workshop will explore the enduring fascination—both in the medieval period and in our own time—with magicians, seers and sages. The workshop sessions will address the social and cultural roles performed by these unusual men and women, and the varied representations in literature and art of legendary practitioners of magic such as Merlin and Morgan le Fay.

Buddhist Wisdom for Challenging Times NEW

If we could understand how things exist—discover their true nature—we would naturally overcome all fears and all sufferings. Buddha taught that all things are the nature of mind, so the main causes of happiness and suffering cannot be found outside the mind. By understanding how internal conditions within our mind shape everything we experience, we gain deeper insight into our world, our relationships and ourselves.

Adventures in North and West Africa NEW

Join this virtual trip to three former French colonies in North and West Africa that have a rich and long history predating colonialism. In Morocco, we will explore the traditional villages of the Western Atlas, the historical cities of Marrakesh, Meknes and Fès (the world’s most intact medieval Arab city), hike through canyons, dunes and mountains and go on a desert trek with a Berber guide. The focus in Senegal will be the exploration of its Atlantic coast, its natural beauties and wildlife. In Mali, where the legendary Timbuktu is located, the presenter will report on a volunteer experience in Bamako.

Emily Carr’s autobiographical works, particularly The Book of Small, Growing Pains and The House of All Sorts will be the basis for this illustrated talk by John Adams. Emily’s descriptions of her childhood home and the early days of James Bay, Fairfield and many other parts of Victoria are some of the best contemporary word pictures of the city in the 1870s and 1880s. Archival photographs have been carefully chosen to match the places, events and people that Emily wrote about. This will be of particular interest to Emily Carr fans, as well as those who want a good overview of 19th century Victoria.

Antarctic Exploration: Adventure Meets Adversity NEW

Destination: Desolation— Easter Island and Antarctica AMICA at Somerset House Join us on a virtual expedition to two of the most desolate and enigmatic places on earth—Easter Island and Antarctica.

At between 1,000 and 3,000 kilometres from anywhere these two “islands”—one smaller than Salt Spring Island, the other of continental proportions—offer diametrically opposed landscapes.

Both have harsh environments for humans to populate; both have seen their share of exploration and tragedy; and both offer a unique look at what has been considered, at various times in human history, the ends of the Earth. This photographic tour will highlight the serene beauty of a tropical island and an icy wasteland; the enigmatic majesty of stone statues and flightless penguins; one, a lava outcropping and the other, a glacial wonderland.

At Berwick Royal Oak Contrary to some textbooks, the “Age of Exploration” did not end in the 17th century; it was alive and kicking well into the 20th century and beyond, in one of the harshest and most demanding environments on Earth—the Antarctic.

With characters who would feel just as much at home in some Greek epic as they did on the frozen wasteland of this ice continent, names such as Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen will live forever in the annals of exploration and adventure alongside the new pioneers—the scientists of our modern era—who have taken on the reins of exploration and are forging new ground in our understanding of the Earth and ourselves.

Join us as we look back over the generations of hardy souls who have braved the unknown, challenged the worst conditions on Earth and sometimes, met their match in a fatal attraction that most of them would have done all over again in a heartbeat.

Talking about the Holocaust The Holocaust was one of the most horrific events of the 20th century and its impact is still felt in many ways today. During the Second World War, the Nazis and their collaborators murdered nearly six million European Jews. This lecture examines the origins, progression, central characters and enduring legacies of the Holocaust, and everyone should be clear at the outset that studying it is deeply upsetting. All of us will likely find ourselves saddened or angered or profoundly disturbed—and usually all three at once. But the Holocaust is part of world history and in part this tragedy created the world we live in now. It must be remembered in order to fully understand who we are today.

HUMANITIES DIPLOMA PROGRAM Winner of a National Award of Excellence The Humanities Diploma Program has received an Award of Excellence from the Canadian Association for University Continuing Education.

Why Study the Humanities?

Humanities are those studies created by the human desire for knowledge and understanding of our history, classical traditions, literature, language and philosophy.

Why Study Canada?

A country as vast, diverse and ever-changing as Canada offers near-limitless opportunities for study and reflection.

Multicultural and multilingual, with a unique political, economic and social history, Canada defies easy definitions and continues to fuel debate about its “identity” as a nation.

The Canadian Studies Program is designed for fullor part-time local and international students who wish to broaden their knowledge and understanding of Canada. In addition to three core courses in Canadian culture and issues, students may choose from a range of other courses related to Canada offered by the faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences and Fine Arts. Options for study include: • the diploma: a credit program that can be transferred toward an undergraduate degree • the certificate: a shorter, non-credit program • elective courses in Canadian studies

Studying the humanities increases our appreciation of ideas and of various modes of thinking. It leads to a greater understanding of values within cultural and historical contexts.

Canadian Studies courses can be taken for credit (1.5 units) or for non-credit. Proficiency in English is required. A fee differential applies to international students.

It can sharpen our skill in formulating our own ideas, developing them coherently and expressing them clearly and effectively. It can help us read “difficult” texts with increased comprehension and powers of analysis. It helps us learn how to learn.

SAGE—STIMULATE, ADVANCE AND GUIDE EDUCATION An Exciting Learning Alternative!

Would you like to exchange ideas and pursue some of your favourite subjects with a small group of other interested people? If so, become involved in our SAGE program.

SAGE Study Groups The main component of SAGE is our study groups.

Study groups are not taught by instructors; instead, a facilitator assists in coordinating the presentations of group members and in moderating the discussions.

An important aspect of study groups is their small size (maximum 15 participants). Group members quickly get to know each other, and learning takes place in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

There is a limited number of fee waivers available for all study groups.

Study groups will also be held at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. For more information about these groups, call 250-721-7797.

Study groups happen through your initiative, so if there is a subject you would love to learn more about and you are willing to facilitate a group, please call Janet McDonald at 250-721-8827. No experience necessary! We provide the training.

Social Justice, Progressive Politics and Taxes: A Reader

“Nan” Walmsley has taken around 165 courses through Continuing Studies since 1998.

“Life’s a pretty good place when you’re interested in it.”

Read the full story on our website: www.uvcs.uvic.ca/studentstories/

Alistair Macleod, Professor Emeritus, Department of Philosophy, Queen’s University, gave a keynote lecture in February 2003 as the Division of Continuing Studies’ distinguished guest. This event was part of the year-long UVic Celebration of 100 Years of Education.

In this reader, which is based on the lecture, Professor Macleod explores the role of ideals of liberty, equality, efficiency and justice in political decision making. He sketches and evaluates several objections to a justice-based political agenda, takes note of the implications of tax-cut promises for public programs in health and education and identifies strategies for protecting citizens from the lure of such promises.

URBAN RESTORATION WALKS—2012 Restoration Highs and Lows: Restoring Greater Victoria’s Hills and Valleys Three free Restoration Walks sponsored by the Restoration of Natural Systems Program The urban environment, particularly those areas with major changes in elevation, poses many challenges to natural ecosystems. The ravines and valleys contain creeks that are used to carry away rainwater from our streets and buildings, resulting in heavy water flows in winter that scour creek bottoms and erode banks. The hills are prime areas for residential development and recreational use, leading to habitat destruction and the introduction of invasive species. Restoring Highs and Lows describes a ravine and two mountains in Greater Victoria, the challenges they face, and current restoration initiatives. Come and see the issues first hand as well as what is being done to restore them.

These sessions take place at off-campus locations.

Instructors: Val Schaefer is the Academic Administrator of the Restoration of Natural Systems Program. Jessica Miles is a graduate of U Vic’s Environmental Studies Program. They will be joined by a local expert for each site.

Admission to the following sessions is free, but call 250-472-4747 to register so we can guarantee you a space.

Note: These walks are not strenuous but sturdy footwear, a water bottle and rain gear are recommended.

Located on the campus of the University of Victoria, Mystic Vale is a ravine formed by Hobbs Creek.

The creek is regularly flooded by water from stormdrains, which has left the upper part of the creek uninhabited by fish, created major slope stability issues and silted the lower reaches of the creek.

Mystic Vale is also heavily infested with invasive plant species. Walk participants will see Aqua-Tex’s most recent restoration efforts in stabilizing the creek’s banks and altering the pond structure to allow for riparian growth and recreational use.

Mount Douglas Mount Douglas is one of the sites being restored by the City of Saanich’s Garry Oak Restoration Project (GORP). Restoration has focused primarily on invasive species removal and monitoring on the summit. There are high populations of European rabbits that pose challenges to plantings of native species. The walk will showcase the restoration activities that have taken place at this popular recreation site and will be led by Robert Bridgeman of the Friends of Mt. Douglas.

Mount Tolmie Mount Tolmie, like Mount Douglas, is a Garry Oak Restoration Project site which contains many invasive species, garden species and human impacts.

Although controlled burning is a recommended practice in restoring Garry Oak ecosystems, it is not permitted within the city because of the potential danger. In 2005, however, there was a fire on the mountain which has provided an interesting opportunity to observe what role controlled burning could have here. Join us for a closer look at the site.

Invasive species are highly successful species often dispersed by people, frequently transported by commercial or recreational activities. This course examines the biology of invasions focusing on the life-history adaptations and dispersal strategies which contribute to their success at both the individual and population levels. On completing the course, students will be able to identify common invasive species and know their distributions, life cycles, growth habits, reproductive characteristics and adaptation. Additionally, students will have an understanding of control options embracing preventative, cultural, biological and chemical control methods. Finally, the course will explore novel ecosystems that are created when invasive species insert themselves into the fabric of natural ecosystems and the problems they create with traditional approaches to ecosystem management, for example when an endangered species becomes dependent on an invasive species for its survival.

Northern Italy and Rome Join us as we travel through some of the most famous landscapes and regions in all of Italy, each with a very different history and culture.

Whether enjoying a stroll through a sleepy medieval town or a busy shopping district; indulging in a glass of private-reserve from a secluded wine cellar or a gastronomic feast; or making sense of Etruscan and Roman marvels—the landscape and background of Northern Italy has so much to offer.

Our journey begins in Milan, the major city of the Lombardy region, fashion capital of Italy, and home to Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper and La Scala Opera House. While here we enjoy an excursion to, and a boat trip on, Lake Como. From Milan we head to “fair” Verona in the Veneto region, from where we visit Vicenza, Lake Garda and the Alpine region around Bolzano (and pay our respects to Ötzi, the Iceman). Next, we travel to the water world of Venezia (Venice), with an excursion to the unique Roman settlement at Aquileia.

Continuing south, we visit Ravenna with its amazing Roman history and Byzantine mosaics, and stop in atmospheric Bologna. We then cross into Tuscany and immerse ourselves in the awe-inspiring museums, art galleries and architecture of Florence, including an excursion to Fiesole in the hills

above the city. As well, we will visit Siena, with its cathedral, squares and cuisine; from there we head southwest to explore the history and archaeology of the Etruscans toward the last stop on our tour, the Eternal City of Rome.

Though the itinerary is full, there is only a single one-night stop (most are three nights), ensuring a fairly leisurely pace.

will visit the medieval cities of Ávila and Segovia. Ávila is famous for its fabulous medieval walls and Segovia is home to a beautiful gothic cathedral, a famous castle and a 2000-year-old Roman aqueduct. Toledo, just south of Madrid, reflects a blend of Christian, Moorish and Jewish traditions in its fascinating architecture. We will also pay a brief visit to Valencia on our way to Barcelona, capital of the Catalonia region and renowned for the architectural works of Antoni Gaudi and Lluís Domènech i Montaner. And, no trip to Spain would be complete without spending some time in its capital, Madrid. In Madrid we will visit the famous Prado museum, home to works by Velazquez, Goya and el Greco, and have time to visit other sights as well.
