LearningThatShapes.ca/Fall

The common thread—curiosity. Find out how Renée O’Leary (above left) went from wondering what life’s next step should be, to embarking on a Humanities diploma, earning a master’s degree, and now researching and working on her PhD. Read her story on page 38. Gina Martin (centre) needed to add a very specialized skill set to advance her work in the health field. Read her story on page 48. Eric Akis (right) transformed a consuming interest in working with food to a career as a writer—via a program of business courses. Read his story on page 54.

If you are naturally curious about things—all kinds of things—then you’ll find yourself in good company at Continuing Studies. Satisfy your curiosity about many aspects of life and the world around you by engaging in some of the fascinating and often surprising courses we offer every fall and spring.

You may find that one interest leads to another and opens up possibilities you hadn’t considered before. Continuing Studies is a place to connect with ideas and people in a way that is accessible, challenging and fun! Learning that shapes who you are.

The Arts History in Art NEW

Picasso and 20th Century Art

Many would argue that Picasso is the greatest artist of the 20th century. He was a great painter, an innovator almost without equal, a founder of the Cubist movement, co-developer of the art of collage, sculptor, theatre designer, printmaker and ceramicist. The range of styles in which he worked throughout his long life is astonishing and his influence incalculable. This course will examine Picasso’s life and work, and that of some of his great contemporaries such as Braque and Duchamp. Instructor: John Lucas, MA, BFA Date: Time:

Wednesdays, September 17 to November 5 2:30 to 4:30 pm

Architectural Insight—Part II: How We Interact With Buildings NEW

This course continues the exploration of how we create and respond to architecture, begun in Architectural Insight: How We Understand Buildings (no prerequisite is required). Architectural design shapes how we build and move through spaces, and how we maintain and add to existing structures. We work, worship, participate in ceremonies, attend performances, and go about our everyday lives in architectural settings. We will look at the different building materials people use around the world, experiments with architecture and its ideologies and architectural symbols. How do we feel about buildings? How do we remember them? Represent them? We will also engage in discussion about the role of an architectural “message” for class, politics, religion and other societal issues. Instructor: Angela Andersen, MA History in Art, is currently working on her PhD dissertation and research focused primarily on the architecture of Islamic societies, and the inter- and intra-religious interactions that take place through architectural sites. Date:

Tuesdays, September 16 to October 7

Time:

10:30 am to 12:30 pm

NEW An Introduction to Turkish Architecture

The landmass of what is today the country of Turkey straddles western Asia and Eastern Europe. The architectural history of this region goes back millennia and includes some of the most impressive structures of the ancient, medieval and modern world. This course will cover the architecture of the prehistoric and ancient Near Eastern, Hellenistic, pre-Christian Roman, Byzantine, Armenian, Seljuk, Ottoman and Republican eras. Through images, lecture and discussion, we will look at how architecture is a result of an ever-changing cultural and societal environment. Instructor: Angela Andersen, MA History in Art, has been conducting research and fieldwork in Turkey for more than a decade. Date:

Tuesdays, October 14 to November 18

The Arts

Monumental Carving of the Northwest Coast

Music

Masterworks of Symphonic Literature

This course focuses on the various poles in Northwest Coast cultural groups: house posts, commemorative, clan/crest, memorial and mortuary poles from Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth, Kwakwaka’wakw, Tsimshian, Gitxan, Nisga’a, Haida and Tlingit communities. In looking at the earliest known poles as well as contemporary carvings, you will learn about the context and function of poles as well as their iconography, including the crests, legends and history associated with a wide range of poles. The course will take in the work of many well-known Northwest Coast carvers such as Charles Edenshaw and Susan Point.

Sing! Level I

Develop your listening skills and aesthetic appreciation of classical music in preparation for the Victoria Symphony’s 2014-15 season. Each session in this course corresponds with a different program from the Symphony’s Signature and Legacy series, including such highlights as the Bruch’s poignant Violin Concerto, Britten’s stark War Requiem, Rachmaninoff’s dazzling Piano Concerto No.3, and Mendelssohn’s vivacious Midsummer Night’s Dream. Through guided listening and discussion, you will learn how to discern elements of form, instrumentation and style in these works and gain more enjoyment at concerts. Guest Symphony musicians will share their expertise and offer personal insights into the works we are studying. All levels of listeners, from beginners to veteran Symphony enthusiasts, are welcome.

The Fashionable Body in the History of Art NEW

We constantly “edit” our bodies in many ways, through diet and exercise, and clothing of different materials, structures, colours and textures. Fashion and design create the fashionable body, which changes with each period of history. This course will examine the fashionable male and female body types from ancient times to the present, and show how artists and designers have often influenced the appeal of certain body types along the way. Illustrations will include paintings, sculpture, prints, fashion plates and film clips. Instructor: John Lucas, MA, BFA

A Song for the Ages

For the past thousand or so years people have committed songs to parchment and paper, leaving an unparalleled legacy. It’s possible that humans have always sung songs. In this course we will explore a selection of these beautiful expressions of the human spirit that have enchanted listeners through the ages. Over the years, simple songs became madrigals and motets, operas and song cycles, orchestral songs and intimate chamber songs—we’ll look at examples drawn from the period before Alphonso X through Richard Strauss and beyond, embracing the potency of words and music made one.

The Jazz Age

Discover how the rage for jazz—from the decadent and the risqué, to popular home entertainment—came to epitomize an entire era, known as the Jazz Age (a term coined by F. Scott Fitzgerald). In a period of unprecedented cultural shifts after World War I, jazz—in many guises—accompanied extraordinary prosperity and a fast-living “anything goes” attitude that, to some, represented a threat by association with the immoral. It existed on the fringes of society in illegal speakeasies and taboo nightclubs where “hot” performances by African-American artists of the Blues, Ragtime, and Early Jazz Bands were considered a danger that stimulated the “nerveirritating, sex-inciting jazz emotions.”

Are you new to opera or already captivated by the experience? This Saturday morning course will help you to appreciate and understand opera’s exciting world. Join your instructor and special musical guests as we explore the three productions of Pacific Opera Victoria’s 2014-15 season. Each session will give you background to the story, a comparison of great singers past and present in each role, and insights into how each opera emerged from the composer’s first musings to finished stage spectacle. Staged only once before by a Canadian opera company, Wagner’s Das Rheingold is the first opera of Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle. It tells the tale of the forging of a magic gold ring and sets in motion the conflicts that will ultimately destroy the gods. A more earthly kind of madness is to be found in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, the story of an outcast geisha’s tragic love affair.

The Devil, Death and the Supernatural in Romantic Music NEW

Meet the devil, death and the supernatural in the controversial “program music” of Hector Berlioz and Franz Liszt. Experience the evil supernatural interwoven with eroticism and decadence in the operas of Wagner, Verdi and Strauss. At the core of the Romantic spirit is the belief in the Apocalypse. In the early 19th century, events such as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars marked an entire generation with mal du siècle, a type of post-traumatic stress combined with great hopes for the coming of a better world.

Opera: The Beginnings to the 18th Century

Opera: 19th Century and Beyond

Curious about how opera developed as a musical form? For centuries, music has reflected society’s struggles, hopes and dreams, and celebrated its triumphs and achievements. From Ancient Greece to the 20th century, vocal and opera composers have responded to the changing demands of their audience and their society with their most creative and poignant works.

Following Opera: The Beginnings to 18th Century, this course continues the exploration of opera of the 19th and 20th centuries. Learn about the social, ideological and political changes that influenced each composer, and explore the movements of bel canto, verismo, and realism in opera. We’ll examine the works of significant French, German, Russian, British and American composers of the period using the best available audio and video performances.

Discover what gave rise to the invention of opera, as we explore works from ancient times through to the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical eras. Along the way, we will look at the social and political events of each era—and their most significant opera composers—using the best available audio and video performances. Instructor: Zhila Kashaninia is a graduate of Victoria Conservatory of Music and York University and has been teaching opera history courses since 2009. In May 2010, Zhila was invited by the Director of the Cultural Institute in Campeche, Mexico to perform a concert of Spanish songs and hold a lecture on the history of the art of Spanish songs.

Photographer as Artist, Artist as Photographer NEW

When is a photograph just a photograph? What can elevate your photographs into works of art? This course will explore this enduring question and help you to grow, artistically and stylistically, as a photographer and artist. Although entrenched in technology, photography shares much with classical art forms. Technique (and equipment) may indeed be the foundation of photographic expression, but that foundation is vulnerable without an understanding of the core disciplines, such as composition and tonal layering. While the emphasis is on creativity, other topics covered include outputting options (silver halide, digital, alternative processes), articulating an artistic vision and gallery protocol, as well as photography’s status within the fine art community. You will be encouraged to prepare two single image assignments to be respectfully critiqued by your class group and instructor. Some experience with photo editing software and/or darkroom skills is an asset for this course.

Travel Photography: Storytelling

Travel Photography: a History Travel and photography have gone hand-in-hand since the first photographic image was made with a camera in the 1820s. From the mid-to-late 19th century, people began bringing back images of their adventures and memories of the places they visited to those at home, opening up the world to everyone. However, before the invention of the instant-gratification digital revolution in cameras, the combination of travel and photography wasn’t always easy, and sometimes it was near impossible. Join us for an amazing investigation of the birth and evolution of photography-onthe-go, and the trials and tribulations of recording our travel memories. Dates:

Join us as we explore the tombs, temples, tents, stonework, brickwork, woodwork and glasswork from countries around the world and learn how to best depict the essence of that architecture and the spirit of the cultures that produced it. Time:

Travel Photography Series: Fall Session

Suggested pre- course viewing: Manufactured Landscapes (2006 film), directed by Jennifer Baichwal.

You have the equipment and you know how to use it. However, once you begin travelling, how do you deal photographically with all those monumental, exotic, extravagant, and beautiful architectural structures you encounter? Architecture symbolizes much of what civilizations and cultures are about, and is a vitally important element in capturing your travel experiences.

Throughout history artists, including photographers, have chronicled every era of human existence in their depictions of the world around them. From early cave paintings to state-of-the-art digital photographs, all have the makings of historical documents.

From Journal to Story: Using Life Experience to Create Fiction

Freelance Journalism in 2014

According to the American writer and essayist, Flannery O’Connor, “Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”

How do you get started as a freelancer? Do you work for free? Should you focus on websites or magazines? How do newspapers fit into things? What is the proper query etiquette? There are so many questions when you’re trying to navigate the wilderness of freelancing. This course will help you make sense of them all, while reviewing some of the basics of what makes good journalism. Learn tips on what editors want and how to keep editors coming back to you; learn how to avoid doing what makes editors run the other direction. Learn who you should be writing for, how to find your identity as a writer, how to deal with finances, and go over some basic journalism skills. Instructor: Greg Pratt is a local freelance writer and editor who writes regularly for Douglas, Revolver, Island Parent, Brave Words, Snowboard Canada and other publications. His work has also appeared in Wired and Today’s Parent. He has made editors happy and angry, and will share what he has learned along the way.

Find out how you can draw inspiration from life events to write powerful short stories or novels for children, teens or adults.

Boundaries 101: Where You End and I Begin The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. Healthy boundaries are essential, both to one’s sense of self and in having quality relationships with others. Yet for many, the concept of boundaries is foreign or confusing, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. Traditional approaches to learning about boundaries often focus on assertiveness training—come and learn about boundaries through the exploration of yourself and adult development. Learn how to “grow up” and to differentiate and, in the process, develop and enforce healthy boundaries in your life. Ultimately, come prepared to learn more about yourself in this skill-building session.

Although we yearn to be happy, our uncontrolled desires cause us harm and can produce the opposite of what we really want. Our strong attachment to fulfilling our own desires creates problems for others and ourselves. In these sessions you will learn how to control your mind by controlling your desire. We will explore how to free ourselves from compulsive ways of thinking and acting that compel us to seek satisfaction from the wrong sources.

Exploring Aging through Film The quality and nature of later life experience is changing, and so are attitudes towards aging. 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 as our own. Through film screenings, readings and group discussions, we will explore these central questions: How is the journey through later life depicted in modern films? What are the implications of these depictions for modern society? 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

Ancient Trade Routes

Destination: Amazon

Ancient trade routes connected cities, civilizations, empires and continents. They are most famous for carrying exotic goods and spices across vast regions but early humans migrating out of Africa also used them. We will look at the archaeological evidence for these ancient routes that moved people, armies, goods and technology across inhospitable deserts, mountains and oceans on an inexorable march to who we are today.

The Amazon River is the largest freshwater drainage system in the world, at more than 6,900 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide in some places during the wet season. In this session we will go on a photographic expedition along two stretches of this majestic river system in the northeastern and southeastern corners of Peru. Date:

Gandhi: An Introduction to his Life, Thought and Significance NEW

In its final issue of 1999, Time Magazine named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) one of its three “people of the century.” Gandhi was a vigorous opponent of western imperialism and a tireless campaigner for the civil rights of the marginalized in society. He was also a fierce critic of modern capitalism and a pacifist whose unique method of nonviolent resistance (Satyagraha) enabled the resister to claim the moral high ground. Through class lectures, readings, film and discussions you will learn about Gandhi’s life, philosophy, and his lasting influence on the world. Instructor: Chandar Sundaram, PhD, is a historian of South Asia who has taught and worked in North America, India and China. His new book, Little Grace in the Giving: the Origins of the Indianization of the Indian Army’s Officer Corps 1817-1945, will be published soon by Helion Press (UK).

In the southwest corner of Arabia lies a mysterious country that once straddled the incense road, an ancient trade route that carried luxury goods from as far away as Africa, India and China into the vast emporiums of the Mediterranean basin. Once the home of the legendary Queen of Sheba, and possibly the site of Ophir (King Solomon’s mines), today Yemen is an impoverished country plagued by overpopulation, water shortages and sectarian violence. In this session we will use maps, artifacts and photographs to explore this little-known corner of the Arabian Peninsula. On our journey we will examine Yemen’s colourful history as well as its contemporary geography. Your instructor will also briefly discuss the current political situation in the country.

In this illustrated talk, you will learn about some of Victoria’s prominent families of the fur trade and gold rush eras: Sir James and Lady Douglas, Dr. and Mrs. Helmcken, the Finlaysons, Works, Tolmies, Pembertons, McKenzies and O’Reillys. Where did they come from, where were they educated, how did they earn their living, what roles did the women play?

Join us on a visual journey through Rome, a city steeped in millennia of history, intrigue and beauty. From the forums to the baths, the fountains to the Vatican, Rome is one of the world’s favourite tourist destinations, and it’s easy to see why: once home to emperors and despots, gladiators and Renaissance men, the city is now filled with business people, artists and tourists. We will take a visual journey through the city as part tourist, part time-traveller and explore the culture, archaeology, sights and timelessness of Rome.

Not surprisingly, even a few scandals will be included in the stories. You will see pictures of the family homes, some still standing and some long ago demolished, with some rare photographs of the interior rooms.

This visual tour will include the first government buildings and surrounding homes and the introduction of industry to the area including shipyards, grain elevators, and chemical plants. You will learn about First Nations’ extensive use of the shoreline and the Hudson’s Bay Company’s establishment of company homes and Beckley Farm. The neighbourhood developed a rough reputation by the mid-20th century, but now James Bay is a vibrant area combining heritage streetscapes, seaside parks, deep-sea docks, commercial and tourism nodes nestled beside the Parliament Buildings.

In this course we will trace the life and works of this Montreal-born artist including his time in France, first as an art student and then as an official war artist for Canada. We’ll study paintings from private collections as well as Jackson’s most famous works, many of which have become Canadian icons. Two of Jackson’s favourite sketching locations were the St. Lawrence region and Southern Alberta: he returned to both areas repeatedly over several decades while traversing Canada on his quest for adventure and new material. We will examine his unique contributions to Canadian art history, and within this context his associations with—and influence on—many other artists and gallery administrators.

NEW The Ukrainian Crisis in Historical Perspective

The recent pro-European revolution in Ukraine elicited an aggressive response from Russia including the annexation of Crimea and the support of separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. As Ukraine slides into a civil war and Russia enters a new Cold War against the West, commentators around the world are trying to make sense of the conflict’s causes. In order to understand the Ukrainian crisis and the renewed tensions between Russia and the West, we will begin with a broad historical survey of Russo-Ukrainian relations that will help explain why a resurgent Russia is using Ukraine as a battleground against the West. Presenter: Serhy Yekelchyk, PhD, is cross-appointed with the departments of Germanic and Slavic Studies and History at UVic. He teaches a variety of courses including Russian History, Soviet Culture, Modern Ukraine and Stalinism.

European Borders without Walls: An Open Online Course NEW

Borders are becoming more difficult to define and manage. Increasingly, policy makers must deal with the multiple and complex activities of governments and the actions of private and public organizations across international boundaries. In this free online survey course you will have access to a wide range of literature on border studies including the history, culture, economics and security of borders. There will be a special focus on the politics and policy making processes which span the study of international borders. We will compare European borders to those in North America and elsewhere in the world. Some of the topics we will cover include: • Defining borders, boundaries, and frontiers • Political, ethno linguistic and religious communities and borders • Markets and borders • Migrations and borders

Instructor: Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly, PhD, is the director of the European Studies Program and the European Union Centre of Excellence at UVic. He is also the Jean Monnet Chair in EU Border and Urban Region Policies and a leading EU border expert.

Medieval Studies 28th Annual Medieval Workshop Saturday, January 31, 2015 Burnt at the Stake To people living in medieval and early modern times in Europe, burning at the stake was more than an execution: presented as a Biblical punishment, the ritual was intended to construct and instruct the community. From heretics to witches, philosophers to scientists, the victims of the pyres changed with times and places, but the purpose was always the same: the flames would destroy not only their bodies, but also their names and memories. This workshop will examine some famous cases of burning at the stake—the Cathars, but also Abelard’s books, Joan of Arc, Savonarola and the witchcraft trials—and pay tribute to the memory of those who were persecuted and silenced. It will also contrast historical documents with modern perceptions and explore

Humanities Diploma Program

An introduction to the multidisciplinary study of cultural structures and expression in Canada, including literature, the fine arts, mass media and communications.

The humanities are academic disciplines that study human culture – history, classical traditions, literature, language and philosophy. We study the humanities to learn how to construct an argument, how to think critically: in short, to learn how to learn. The skills acquired in the humanities will benefit you in your personal and professional life, but are also valued by society.

Issues and Ideas in Canadian Environmentalism  CS201 This course gives you an opportunity to explore how the physical environment of this country has shaped the Canadian people. What are the connections between our environment and the Canadian identity? How has the environment influenced our culture? How have received notions of wilderness affected our environment? How has Canada’s environment been interpreted and protected, despoiled and worshipped, and what can we learn from this story? Throughout the course we will explore the differences between European and non-Western approaches to environment and land use. We will examine theories as to how our environment has influenced Canada’s position in the global environmental movement. We will also look at environmental activism, and the meaning of sustainability and environmental justice, from a Canadian perspective. Note: This is an online course.

SAGE—STIMULATE, ADVANCE AND GUIDE EDUCATION SAGE Study Groups—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? Sage 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 these groups is their small size (maximum 15 participants). 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. 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.

This program is sponsored by the Faculty of Humanities and the Division of Continuing Studies. There are no tuition fees; however, you must still apply and be accepted into the program.

Graduate Profile Renée O’Leary, Humanities Diploma Program doctoral student, social dimensions of health

I had no inkling when I started in the Humanities Diploma Program in January 2004 that I would be a health care researcher. I had entered the program with the primary goal of obtaining a university credential for points for my immigration application. I discovered a weekly delight of lectures, slides, music and readings by professors from many different disciplines. I could ask all kinds of questions and hear fascinating replies. I did not like writing (then), so I was pleased that the assignments were only a few pages each. Looking up references and sharing what I read was more enjoyable than I expected. I appreciated the professor’s feedback on how to better express my information. So when I got an “A,” I chalked it up to a nice prof and my interesting essay topics. That summer, I took Moral Problems in Modern Philosophy. My prior experience in hospice care provided material for an interesting paper, and I “aced” another course. I felt like I had a fever in my brain. How would I apply my newly discovered abilities? My late life career goal was to make a difference by reducing human suffering and death. I read that tobacco-related deaths were approaching five million annually. Tobacco control became my focus, and Sociology my lens.

Still in the diploma program, I took courses in Linguistics, English, French, and Philosophy. My brain was on fire! I completed the diploma program in December 2005, and knew I wanted to go on. It was helpful that the diploma courses were credited to my next program, a BA Honours in Sociology (2007). I went on to obtain my MA (2011) while working as a Research Assistant for the BC Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health. Now I am completing my PhD in the Social Dimensions of Health.

On your own path, you can rediscover the joy of learning. – Renée O’Leary

Graduate Profile Gina Martin, Professional Specialization Certificate in Population Health Data Analysis See page 47 for program details. Gina Martin is the first graduate from the Professional Specialization Certificate in Population Health Data Analysis (PHDA) program delivered in partnership by Population Data BC and the Division of Continuing Studies and Dept of Geography at UVic. With a Masters in Health Geography from the University of Victoria, Gina worked for the Centre for Addictions Research of BC during the past three years. “It was really good for me to gain more experience working with large data sets and use a secure research environment to get used to the complexities of various kinds of datasets we come across daily. The spatial data and network analysis work, applied longitudinal analysis techniques and foundational SAS skills I learned really benefitted my research work,” said Gina. “I have done some online courses before. I felt the courses in this program were well organized. The labs were very useful and very applied, instructors were always available to answer questions and the weekly or biweekly course modules provided structure but also some flexibility”.

When asked about the biggest benefit the program has given to advancing her career in Population Health, Gina replied, “Learning analytic skills and then applying them using training data that’s similar to real data I come across in my day-to-day work has been invaluable. It really gives you a good idea about all the statistical methods that are commonly used when analyzing data.”

I feel better equipped and much more confident. – Gina Martin

Spring Explorations at Yellow Point Lodge “ The leaders, the laughter, the environment— this has been the most enriching week of my life.” In spring, the world is alive with beauty: the meadow of sea blush and camas; the mink, otter, hummingbirds, eagles and blue herons pursuing their springtime agendas; the forests fresh and green; the sea alive with birds and sea life. Join us in April for some leisurely days of learning, explorations and pleasure at beautiful Yellow Point Lodge. Presenters may include biologists Marc Bell, David Denning, Darren and Claudia Copely or pianist Bruce Vogt. There will be some early morning birding, and in the evenings we’ll call owls, stargaze, enjoy a sing-along and watch computer and microscope videos of the days’ samplings of nature. We’ll also make an inspiring visit to Wildwood, Merve Wilkinson’s selective forestry acreage. This is a unique opportunity to recharge and relish the spring concert of nature. Come on your own, plan a reunion or bring your hiking group. You can choose double accommodation in the lodge, or sleep in rustic or modern cabins with fireplaces or electric heat.
