General interest courses Lifelong learner Nan Walmsley lining up her next challenge among the Continuing Studies courses.

“Life’s a pretty good place when you’re interested in it.” – Nan Walmsley “Nan” Walmsley celebrates her 90th birthday this year but shows no sign of slowing down in her quest to learn new things. Since fall 1998, she has taken around 165 courses through Continuing Studies.

That’s an average of about 12 courses per year.

“It’s my garden for summer and then UVic for the winter—that’s how my year is structured,” she explains. “UVic has become a second home for me.”

Walmsley’s memories of UVic go back as far as the Victoria College days when she was studying towards a BA. Craigdarroch Castle seemed a very romantic setting, she recalls. Her love of music was also instilled in those early days. Dr. W. Harry Hickman (for whom UVic’s Hickman building is named) was teaching French but added what he called “a taste of music” during the lunch hour.

Walmsley loves the music courses offered through Continuing Studies but her interests also range from archaeology to current global politics to issues around genetically altered and organic food. Local history is also an interest—even when you’ve lived in one place for a long time and think it’s familiar, digging a little deeper can

take you on surprising journeys of discovery, she points out.

Walmsley’s career after graduating from UBC in 1944 took her into social work at a time when the field was very much a new one in British Columbia, so Walmsley found herself very busy building her professional career and travelling.

Two years later came marriage and the raising of four children. While she was expecting her fourth child Walmsley’s husband fell victim to the polio epidemic—a huge challenge that necessitated her returning to work. Career advancement eventually brought her from Courtenay to Victoria as a district office supervisor and then as a consultant in the area of child welfare.

When she retired in 1984, Walmsley started auditing courses at UVic in various departments.

She also started taking evening courses through Continuing Studies—to keep her French in tune amongst other things—and also made a great friend who was taking a degree in fine arts at the age of 70. Walmsley takes the view that pursuing an interest that’s important to you is also a good way to meet people with whom you’re compatible and who inspire you to do more. That aspect of continuing education is as rewarding as the

www.continuingstudies.uvic.ca • 250-472-4694

knowledge you’re acquiring, she notes.

“I guess I enjoy socializing that has a particular focus rather than just for its own sake,” she says.

Walmsley seems to thrive on challenges and continues to explore the wide range of courses available. “You can sit around finding reasons to say ‘I can’t do this or I can’t do that,’ or you can say ‘why not?’ ” Earlier this year, prevented from taking a Travel Study tour to the Middle East because of political unrest, she switched to another Travel Study program and plunged into the culture of New York City on a nine-day tour led by Robert Holliston.

Over the years Walmsley has been pleased to see the growth of adult education through Continuing Studies. She finds the variety of courses is very appealing and provides the stimulation and challenge she looks for in life. “It really is true that you can learn something new every day,” she says.

How does she decide what to choose each season? “Sometimes it’s picking up an old interest that I haven’t been able to give much time to,” she explains. “Or I just pick something that sounds intriguing and a little mysterious. I know it’ll turn out to be absorbing—the instructors are always so passionate about their subjects.”

The Arts HISTORY IN ART NEW The Art and Architecture of Ancient Greece

The impact of Greek art and architecture on the western world is incalculable. Spread far and wide

by Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire, the cultures of many countries fell under the influence of the Greeks. This course is a study of the Greek world, and will trace its development from the Cycladic and Minoan art of the Bronze Age through the major periods divided stylistically into the geometric, archaic, classical and Hellenistic. All works will be discussed in relation to the social, religious and political milieu from which they sprang.

This course offers an introduction to World Heritage Sites, which are places on earth that are of outstanding universal value to humanity and therefore have been inscribed on the World Heritage List for protection. Currently the list includes over 900 properties which are considered as having outstanding cultural value, such as the Great Pyramids, Machu Picchu and Rapa Nui National Park on Easter Island, or as having natural importance, such as the Great Barrier Reef and Halong bay. In these sessions we will focus in particular on such significant sites in Asia as the tomb complex of the First Emperor of China near Xian, the temple complex of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the historic city Hoian in Vietnam, placing them in a wider historical and cultural context.

Join your instructor and special musical guests as we explore the four operas of Pacific Opera’s 2011–12 season.

In each class we will discuss the background and the stories of the operas, listen to and compare great singers in the roles, and discover how each opera has been transformed from the composer’s first musings to a finished stage spectacle. We begin in October with the tale of Wagner’s ghostly captain of the Flying Dutchman, cursed to forever roam the seas in search of redemption. In November, we’ll have the world premiere of Mary’s Wedding, based on Stephen Massicotte’s play in which dream and reality mingle in the trenches of the First World War. February takes us to the sultry landscape of southern Spain with Bizet’s immortal Carmen. The season ends with a royal beheading over jealous love in Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda.

Music for the Sun King

The Pacific Baroque Festival 2012 This year’s festival will focus on the music of the French baroque, truly beautiful music that belies the politics and intrigue that infused its creation and function. Come and discover the world of Louis XIV, where the magnificence of court life at Versailles could be a blessing or a curse. Where music and dance could make or break the status of a courtier. And where composers such as JeanBaptiste Lully, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and François Couperin happily provided the Sun King with the elegant and politically charged music that defined his reign. Classes will feature historically informed live performances and recordings of the music, videos depicting idiomatic French court dances, introductory discussion of the forms and features of French baroque music and the music of the festival, and of course, examination of the vibrant historical context in which it all took place.

Intrigue at the Conservatoire

Claude Debussy famously noted that the dust clings heavily to the walls of the Paris Conservatoire. Far from being a comment on the housekeeping staff, his was a fair yet lamenting, even incredulous comment regarding the powerful role of conservative traditionalism which marked all aspects of the work of the Paris Conservatoire. Who would have thought that the roles of the top prize winners would include Messieurs Boisselot and Gastinel, and not Messieurs Chausson and Ravel!

Still, the venerable institution made possible some of the finest, most evocative, most provocative music ever to grace our concert stages. With spirit and defiance, the musical youth of Paris found their own voices.

In this class we will explore lost, hidden, faceforward and resplendent musical treasures and moments from the Paris Conservatoire. No prior experience in music is required to enjoy and benefit from this course. Refreshments will be served.

The Age of Enlightenment and the Operas of Gluck and Mozart NEW

The 18th century is known as the Age of Enlightenment, in which dramatic changes occurred in science, philosophy, literature, arts and music. These changes made opera in particular more rational, reflective of true human experiences, and therefore more accessible to its audience. This course will explore the social and political events that led to the evolution of the opera from baroque to classical with two of its greatest composers: Gluck and Mozart.

During our four weeks, we will focus on Gluck’s Orfeo and Euridice and three of Mozart’s greatest operas: Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and The Magic Flute. Our detailed examination of these operas will include discussions of the underlying values and ideals of the Age of Enlightenment and their influence on the compositional style and character development. Musical examples of some of the best available recordings of these operas will also be presented. No previous musical or opera experience is required.

A Mythic Journey through the World’s Sacred Music Myths are humanity’s oldest form of engaging with and transmitting meaning across generations. A living myth is understood to be reality for those cultures in which it operates.

Sacred music (and also dance) is the medium in which we can most instinctively relate with the deepest sources of meaning in any given culture.

Listening to the myth and sacred music together provides a wonderful opportunity to enter into worlds of joy, loss, longing, nostalgia and devotion, enhancing our appreciation for the unknown, while noticing the profound connections that link all of humanity’s deepest aspirations.

In each class we will focus on a selection of myths and music from a wide range of cultures, circling the earth. We begin our journey in India; subsequent travels may include Iran, Turkey, Bali, China, Japan, the Indigenous and Latin Americas, Africa, Aboriginal Australia and Europe (medieval and contemporary).

Connecting the Hand and the Eye The concept of conscious, artistic seeing is fundamental to any visual art. Saying we are “looking at a person” is one thing, but actually seeing what it is we call a person is very different. If we can name the object we see, we are probably not really seeing it. Learning to see like an artist means unlearning the way we jump to conclusions about what we think we see. The better we become at increasing the gap between seeing and analyzing, the easier it is to achieve our artistic goals through drawing, painting, photography or any other art form.

The course objectives are rooted in building the vital connections between the hand and the eye.

Through innovative drawing practice, exercises and a look at the process of seeing itself, this course will intrigue and benefit everyone, from beginner to experienced artist.

Please bring paper and pencils to class.

Read Like a Writer: Classic Ghost Stories Does the thing that goes bump in the night exist or is the heroine losing her mind? In a psychological ghost story, this question creates increasing doubt and fear in the reader. In this course, we’ll examine closely and assess, as a writer would, the elements that make a ghost story spook us long after the lights are out. We’ll discuss literary techniques and the building of atmosphere, mystery and emotion, paying special attention to how authors raise tension and use ambiguity to chilling effect. Much of our time will be spent discussing The Haunting of Hill House, a 1959 novel by Shirley Jackson, considered by many to be one of the best ghost stories published in the 20th century. (Spoiler alert: We will discuss the ending as well.) We’ll also take a look at elements of The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters.

Medieval Literature: Chaucer

Writing in the last part of the 14th century, Geoffrey Chaucer was witness to the transformations, ideals and harsh realities of the Hundred Years War. His social class and his experiences as a soldier, diplomat and spy in the ongoing conflict of his time gave him a unique perspective on his era’s inherited ideals of courtly love and militant nobility.

This course will use his “The Parliament of Fowls” and “The Canterbury Tales” as a means of understanding his life in the most turbulent century of the medieval world. Several of his poems will also be considered, along with the connection between Chaucer’s material and his language, both being a complex derived from French and English.

Danielle Hall: Professional Specialization Certificate in Teaching French Immersion As a new teacher, I felt that I had completed enough university courses for the time being.

I started my bachelor of arts degree right after high school and moved right along to my bachelor of education degree the September following my convocation. After six years of university, never mind the 13 years I spent as a French immersion student in the Saanich school district, I had completed my teaching certificate and was starting the career I had dreamed of. I knew I was fully equipped to teach students at the elementary level, but when I thought of teaching students in the French immersion program, something was missing. I had no doubts that I could effectively teach them all that they needed to know and that they would move along in the French immersion program just as I had. After a

short while, I realized that it was the methodology of teaching French immersion students that I wanted to learn more about.

Luckily, the department of Continuing Studies at the University of Victoria was offering a program that would be perfect: the Professional Specialization Certificate in Teaching French Immersion. The courses are offered to teachers around the province through online instruction during the school year and on-campus instruction during the summer. The program consists of four courses in a one-year period. The program was flexible enough that I could start taking courses in the summer and I was able to complete two of the courses at the same time. I spent the month of July at UVic, getting to know teachers from around the province and practising my French.

During those summer weeks, I learned about teaching my students through oral language and many other strategies that support students who are learning a second language. After the summer courses were over, I was able to keep in touch with my colleagues through a forum during our online course in the fall. The experience of sharing my ideas and strategies through online conversations was valuable and effective, especially since I had already met my peers during the summer session.

This pre-existing connection gave meaning to the conversations that we had on the forum and created a network for future sharing and communication about various aspects of our profession.

The courses in the program covered content relevant to teaching and enforced various strategies for teaching students in a second language. The courses explored many aspects of the education field, from the curriculum to lesson planning to parent and student expectations.

The assignments related well to the reality of teaching in the classroom and the flexibility of the online courses accommodated the schedule of a full-time teacher.

Having just completed the certificate, I feel that this program has provided me with the “missing” piece that I was looking for in my role as a French immersion teacher. I have added to my repertoire of strategies and tools for teaching French immersion students and I feel that the knowledge that I have gained through my courses will prove to be valuable to both myself and my students in the French immersion classroom.

Danielle Hall is an elementary school teacher in Victoria.

Teachers study for an average of 5 years just to qualify.

Learning to Teach: Teacher Preparation in Victoria, BC 1903–1963 Authored by Dr. Vern Storey (UVic professor emeritus), Learning to Teach offers a glimpse into the early years of BC schooling and the province’s first systematic approach to preparing teachers for elementary schools. Through the official record, the stories told by Normal School students and more than 30 archival photographs, Learning to Teach has enlivened the historical record of an important era in public education in Canada’s westernmost province.

Learning to Teach will appeal to teachers who were certified during the Normal School years, to teachers and other readers interested in the legacy of those who were, and to general readers and scholars. The book traces the history of teacher preparation from the Normal School years and the transition from a college to university program.

Rick Burley: Certificate Program in Environmental and Occupational Health Rick Burley started a career as a safety director with an international commercial transportation organization in 1995. Having looked for a distance program that would provide both a solid foundation through its curriculum and courses that are relevant to today’s health and safety issues, he enrolled in the certificate program at UVic in 2007.

Burley found that online interaction with the other students in the program provided insights from the large and diverse health and safety field around the country, and added a great deal to the learning experience.

“The rewards of graduating from the EOH program have been immediate… It is a foundation of education that will last a lifetime.”

Identifying Behaviour: What’s Going On and Is It Normal?

NEW

Mental illness indirectly affects all Canadians through illness of a family member, friend or colleague. It is estimated that 20 per cent of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness during their lifetime. Given the prevalence of mental health problems and the stigma that still surrounds them, it is hard to decide what’s going on and if it is normal. This course will provide information about the most common mental health problems: anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders and schizophrenia. We will explore the interplay of genetic, biological, personality and environmental factors contributing to mental illnesses, provide some decision-making frameworks to assess the presence and severity of a mental illness, and look at helpful approaches and community resources to ensure that if help is needed, the person can be guided to effective treatment.

Instructor: Linda Latham, RN, MHSC, is an instructor in the UVic School of Nursing and has worked in mental health throughout her career. She is very passionate about work to de-stigmatize mental illness.

Pet Euthanasia and Loss

Making the Decision, Managing the Grief When facing the decision to euthanize a pet, be it in a crisis situation or after lengthy illness, your veterinarian is likely the one who will guide you through this difficult time. Our culture doesn’t provide us with the rituals, the understanding or the support we need to help us mourn the loss of a companion animal. Your closest friends and relatives may not even acknowledge or understand the depth of feeling you have for a lost pet. Look at the psychological aspects of a bond with an animal and gain guidance to prepare for and manage the grief process. Learn new insights into the role of the veterinarian in assisting owners with making end-oflife decisions for their pets and an understanding of what actually happens when pets are euthanized.

Instructors: Dr. Corrinne Allyson has 25 years’ experience as a psychotherapist and counsellor, including bereavement counselling in hospices. She facilitates a pet loss support group in Victoria and offers one-on-one counselling to help manage pet loss bereavement.

I definitely see my work and projects through a different lens.” – Michele Sirett Diploma in Cultural Resource Management: Cultural Landscapes course, April 2011

workshops at various places. The UVic course has been the best and most interesting so far.

I was looking to do a masters but could not find a program flexible enough for my needs.

Graham Gidden, a park planner with Cowichan Regional District, appreciated this aspect of the experience at UVic.

“I am a very busy person and taking big chunks of time away from work and family was not going to work for me. This program allows me to learn in one-week bits and complete the odd course online. I am finding it very doable.

“It attracted people from across the country, which elevated the overall learning experience through shared interest in the topic of study,” he said. Gidden is planning on specializing within his profession by broadening his understanding of cultural landscapes and then communicating their importance to others.

From the landscapes associated with historic buildings, industries and rural communities, to traditional use sites of First Peoples, cultural landscapes are tremendously diverse resources that present special preservation and management challenges. This course focuses on the nature of cultural landscapes, and develops your ability to identify, evaluate and develop preservation strategies for landscape resources that are integral to your community.

“The experience has reminded me of the importance of always learning through life and that taking courses that are of interest is always beneficial on multiple levels beyond learning new material.”

Michele Sirett, Recreation and Culture Supervisor with the City of Campbell River, found that the program format fits well with her longterm and shorter-range goals.

“The best part of the classes is the opportunity to immerse myself in the heritage or culture being presented. I never get that opportunity at work.

I am always trying to accomplish cultural projects off the side of my desk.

“I have met an amazing number of interesting people. Most of the people who attend the courses work directly in the field and have so much more experience and knowledge than I do.

Learning from my classmates is another thing that makes the courses better than most.”

Sirett also found the Continuing Studies avenue into university-level study a very supportive environment. “The instructors have been exceptional. They are all professionals in the field and provide a wealth of knowledge to the classes.

It really has been impressive!”

Humanities, History, Contemporary Issues Archaeology of Ancient Trade Routes Ancient trade routes have always connected cities, civilizations, empires and continents. They are most famous for carrying exotic goods and spices across vast regions of the Old World, connecting far-flung peoples with fantastic lands beyond the borders of imagination.

Early Medieval Scotland: Picts and Scots Often considered a mysterious people, a clearer picture of the Picts is forming through the use of archaeological records, place name evidence, saints’ lives, king lists and annals, etc. The Scots were a Gaelic-speaking people who came from Ireland during the late Roman Empire. The Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata extended from the north of Ireland to the southwest of Scotland; the centre of kingship shifted about AD 500 from Ireland to Scotland.

Christianity came to Scotland during this period and many clergy left Ireland to found churches in Scotland. In the ninth century the Picts and Scots merged to form the Kingdom of Alba, to meet the Norse threat.

In this course, students will learn about the society and culture of the various peoples of Scotland during the early medieval period (400–1000).

Industrial Victoria AMICA at Somerset House Within recent memory Victoria was a major industrial city, boasting busy railways, docks and factories. Illustrations promoting the city featured smokestacks ringing the harbour, each sending a black plume into the sky. Today we might grumble about the noise and pollution they caused, but in the 1800s and early 1900s Victorians basked in the prosperity they hoped would result from such enterprises. Who were the captains of industry and what did they produce? Everything seemed to be manufactured here: lumber, shingles, textiles, rope, boots, carriages, iron products, coal gas, beer, wine, vinegar, paint, cigars and opium. What led to the growth of these firms and what caused their decline and disappearance? To answer these questions, historian John Adams has gathered pictures showing lost industries, the people who owned them and the workers who toiled for them. He will use them to illustrate his talk about this fascinating but often overlooked part of our history.

Instructor: John Adams is an historian, author and heritage consultant, well known for his historical walking tours around Victoria. His books include Old Square-toes and his Lady: the Life of James and Amelia Douglas, Historic Guide to Ross Bay Cemetery, Ghosts and Legends of Bastion Square, Christmas in Old Victoria and The Ker Family of Victoria, 1859–1976: Pioneer Industrialists in Western Canada.

The Lost World of the Samurai The samurai governed Japan for nearly a millennium and remain one of the most enduring and iconic images of traditional Japanese culture. However, few people truly understand who these famed warriors were or what suddenly happened to more than two million of them just over 140 years ago.

Join Trevor Absolon to explore the lost world of the samurai and peel away the pop-culture myths to expose the true history of these renowned warriors.

Discover the samurai’s non-Japanese origin and learn about their pivotal role in driving Japan’s first indigenous people from the main island of Honshu.

Find out how these fierce warriors shaped much of what we now recognize as being central to the image of modern-day Japan. Finally, learn about traditional Japanese armour, which like the fierce samurai warriors who once wore it, was far more complex and sophisticated than it appeared.

Instructor: Trevor Absolon has recently returned to Victoria after living in Japan for 19 years. He is the only non-Japanese-born citizen to have received a command rank in the Soma Noma-oi, the oldestrunning (over 1070 years) authentic samurai festival still held in Japan.

Becoming a Friend of the World: The Buddhist Way of Loving Kindness NEW

The path to enlightenment is really very simple— all we have to do is stop cherishing ourselves and learn to cherish others. All other spiritual realizations will come naturally from this. Our instinctive view is that we are more important than everyone else, whereas the view of all enlightened beings is that it is others who are more important. Which of these views is more beneficial? Countless enlightened beings discovered that by abandoning selfcherishing and cherishing only others, they came to experience true peace and happiness. To achieve this we do not need to change our lifestyle, but we do need to change our views and intentions. Once we view each and every living being as important we shall naturally develop good intentions towards them. In this course we will explore seeing the kindness in others, letting go of the self-centred mind, and the joy of cherishing others.

Becoming a Friend of the World: The Buddhist Path of Compassion NEW

History of Chinese Victoria AMICA at Somerset House Chinese people began arriving in Victoria in large numbers during the Fraser River Gold Rush. Many stayed in the city and operated businesses. Others headed to goldfields, coal mines, sawmills and railway camps. Most intended to return to their families in China once they had made their fortunes.

Some struck it rich; others failed. Collectively, they made their mark on Victoria, the oldest Chinatown in Canada and until 1902, the largest in the country.

It is now a National Historic Site. Historian and author John Adams will speak about many fascinating aspects of Chinese history in Victoria and show some rarely seen pictures of early activities and businesses.

Developing compassion and wisdom, and helping those in need whenever possible, is the true meaning of life. By increasing our compassion we come closer to enlightenment and to the fulfillment of our deepest wishes.

Instructor: John Adams is an historian, author and heritage consultant, well known for his historical walking tours around Victoria. He is currently writing a book entitled Chinese Victoria. More information about John’s heritage programs and other books is available at www.discoverthepast.com.

What exactly is compassion? Compassion is one’s motivation to cherish other living beings and desire to release them from suffering. Although we already have some degree of compassion, at present it is very biased and limited. When our family and friends are suffering, we easily develop compassion for them, but we find it far more difficult to feel sympathy for people we find unpleasant, or for strangers. If we genuinely want to realize our potential by attaining full enlightenment we need to increase the scope of our compassion until it embraces all living beings without exception. In this course we will explore how to develop compassion, take away suffering and give happiness; and to engage in a bodhisattva’s actions.

Into the Unknown? The Vikings and Their Expansion into the North Atlantic NEW

Renowned as sea-going adventurers, the Norse expansion reached beyond their known world to Greenland and even North America. This is a tale of adventure, death, conversion and survival at the ends of the world, told through written sources, archaeology and forensics. This day-long course takes a look at the nature and impact of the Viking expansion in the North Atlantic (including Scotland and the British Isles, the Faeroes, Iceland, Greenland and North America) in the 8th–13th centuries.

We will draw on a variety of sources including archaeological data, saga literature, historical sources and language to explore the Viking raiding and settling in the west. Students will be encouraged to approach the sources critically, considering their strengths and limitations for developing our understanding of the Viking Age.

MEDIEVAL STUDIES 25th Annual Medieval Workshop Saturday, February 4, 2012 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

Magicians, Seers and Sages 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.

Women, Power and Art in Byzantium NEW

Byzantine history is often seen as a parade of powerful men. In fact, imperial women in Byzantium had considerable freedoms and were often influential in how their empire was run. Some, like Irene of Athens and several empresses called Theodora, were instrumental in religious politics. Others were intellectuals, founded important convents or invested heavily in art and architecture. Often as mothers and sisters, but occasionally as independent rulers, these women negotiated a delicate balance between traditional and innovative social roles. This session will explore the connection between empresses, princesses and aristocratic women, and the role art played in their exercise of power. How are these females represented in art?

And what does their patronage tell us about their own outlook on life and their empire?

Iran: A Critical Analysis of an Emerging Global Crisis Iran is popularly understood in the West today as a nation that is destabilizing the Middle East through actions such as promoting terrorism, developing nuclear technology and refusing to recognize the State of Israel. Many in that region, however, see the West as the source of the problem. A long period of political interference to bolster corrupt regimes, unwavering support for Israel and a need to control the flow of oil have all created a feeling of distrust among many in the Middle East. In this presentation we will examine Iran’s recent history and its current political landscape to better understand the contemporary issues surrounding this country’s desire to harness nuclear technology and aggressively assert its role in the region.

Instructor: Dr. Paul Chamberlain is an historical geographer who has taught at UVic for 18 years; he specializes in Middle East studies and was recently invited to Iran by the University of Tehran.

Oman and Zanzibar What is the connection between desert Oman on the Arabian Peninsula and tropical Zanzibar, an island off the east coast of Africa? In short: trade.

Oman, a trading nation for thousands of years, exported minerals and frankincense, the latter once controlled by the Queen of Sheba. Eventually Oman and Zanzibar were drawn together by the lucrative Indian Ocean trade in spices and slaves. In this session we will examine the history of each area independently, as well as their historical connections.

Introduction to Building a World beyond War NEW

In these days of planetary awareness all war can be seen as civil war. Can war be relegated to the same annals of history as human sacrifice? The common challenges we all face—nuclear proliferation, terrorism, climate change—require new ways of thinking. We can no longer afford war.

Participants in this session will be challenged to examine their own and society’s assumptions about war, and to become part of alternative solutions to conflict. We will explore solutions to conflict at a personal, community and international level.

Mediterranean Religious Traditions An Historical Approach While there are three major religious traditions that survive in the Mediterranean region today, all of them have their roots buried deep in antiquity.

Southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa all have a long history of religious culture tied to these three major religions, but each of these areas also has its own unique blend of tradition and belief, custom and conflict.

In this course, the third in a series on the origins of religions in the Mediterranean region, we will investigate the mythology, mystery and state religions of Hellenistic, Roman, Judaic, Christian and Islamic times to the Middle Ages.

Participation in the two related courses, Early Mediterranean Religions and Later Mediterranean Religions, is not essential to understand and enjoy this course.

Paleoclimatology II: Survival of the Fittest Both the history of culture and climate tell us that human societies have evolved from huntergatherers to culturally dependent societies, and more often than not, that evolution includes an increasing vulnerability to environmental and climate change on our planet.

In the past, theories about the demise of some of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known have hinged on politics and military power struggles, but in this session we’ll explore a different perspective on this age-old speculation—that of changing climates and how they had disastrous as well as beneficial consequences on past cultures and people.

Israel/Palestine as 2012 Approaches NEW

How Have the Transformations of 2011 Affected the Scenario?

From the intensification of Hezbollah’s political power in Lebanon early during the year, through such additional, watershed developments as the fall of Hosni Mubarak’s regime in Egypt, and the reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas, 2011 has been marked by events of extraordinary significance for both the Middle East, and the region’s connections with the world as a whole. As 2012 nears, this presentation will explore what such occurrences, together with those further, yet-to-occur (and perhaps unforeseeable) events of singular importance for the Israel/Palestine scenario, might mean with respect to that conflict’s hoped-for—but as-yetunrealized—easing.

Instructor: Andrew Wender, PhD, Departments of Political Science and History, UVic. He teaches and researches in the areas of politics and religion, political theory, and modern world history, with a geographic emphasis on the Middle East.

Gaelic culture has the peculiar position of contributing enormously to modern Anglo-American culture, but with little or no recognition. This course will look at all the cultural elements of the Gaelic world, from language and literature to food, dance and clothing. This class will meet for six weeks, proceeding as a directed reading course and discussion group investigating the nature of Gaelic culture and its contribution to modern western society.

Medieval Irish Culture

Medieval Ireland has been accused of hiding the most barbarous people on Earth and of saving civilization. It produced the earliest collection of ecclesiastical law, yet has been accused of preserving its pre-Christian, pagan culture intact. Whether druidic or priestly, native or invader, medieval Ireland presents a complex knotwork of contradictory impressions to the modern mind. In this six-week course, we will look at five strands in this knot—history, language, poetry, law and religion— attempting to see what the extant record has to say to us about the emerald island during its supposed “Dark Age.”

Date: Wednesdays, November 2 to December 7 Time: 7:00 to 9:00 pm Sessions: 6 Fee: $100 plus $12.00 HST Code: ASHI501 2011F C01 NEW The Archeological and Chemical Hunt for the Origins of Wine, Beer, and Extreme Fermented Beverages

The history of the human species and civilization itself is, in many ways, the history of fermented beverages. Drawing upon recent archaeological discoveries, molecular and DNA sleuthing, and the texts and art of long-forgotten peoples, Dr. Patrick McGovern takes us on a fascinating odyssey back to the beginning when early humanoids probably enjoyed a wild fruit or honey wine. We follow the course of human ingenuity in domesticating plants of all kinds—particularly the grapevine in the Middle East, rice in China, and the cacao (chocolate) tree in the New World—learning how to make and preserve wines, beers and what are sometimes called “extreme fermented beverages,” which comprise many different ingredients. Early beverage makers must have marvelled at the seemingly miraculous process of fermentation, and must have been even more amazed to discover mind-altering substances, medicines, religious symbols and social lubricants all rolled into one. The perfect drink, it turns out, has not only been a profound force in history, but may be fundamental to the human condition itself.

Uncorking the Past

Following a tantalizing trail of archaeological, chemical, historical, ethnographic and artistic clues around the world and through the millennia, your instructor will share a compelling story of humanity’s ingenious, intoxicating quest for the perfect drink. Whether it be mind altering, medicinal, a religious symbol, a social lubricant or artistic inspiration, fermented beverages have not only been a profound force in history, but they may be fundamental to the human condition itself.

This course will be of interest to those who wish to learn about the origin and practice of fermentation. Some background knowledge in fermentation processes would be beneficial. This course is offered in conjunction with ANTH 392.

An Afternoon in … Antarctica

Antarctica—land of snow and ice, the ends of the Earth, the last frontier, the ultimate adventure.

It’s different things to different people, but one thing is as clear as an ice-bound morning here: its otherworldly magnificence has caught the minds and souls of adventurous mortals for generations.

As both the harshest environment on earth and the most photogenic, Antarctica has proved to be the dream of a lifetime for some, and the final resting place for others. Join us as we find out what makes this place so intriguing as an inhospitable home to a handful of explorers, as well as a multitude of natural wonders.

An Afternoon on …

An Archaeological Dig NEW

Archaeology, the study of remains and monuments, unearths often the only knowledge we have of vanished cultures, their lifestyles and even their very existence. In this illustrated talk, we’ll see what it’s like to dig into ancient cultures, bringing alive the buried past over the course of an excavation season. We’ll work our way through discovering and excavating an ancient 3,500-year-old Bronze Age settlement in southern Greece—from the first tentative shovels in the ground; to the full-scale excavation of houses, industrial areas and even a palace; to the science, art, technology (and sheer fun) involved in the day-to-day adventure of digging up the past.

The Economic Theory of Cooperation Economic theory typically assumes people make decisions to benefit themselves. Economic situations frequently require cooperation, but this can be hard to sustain in the face of individual self-interest. Game theory studies interactive decision making, and game theorists have developed a number of formal theories to explore how cooperative behaviour can be sustained among self-interested decision makers. These ideas have been applied to a diverse range of topics including tax policy and fair cost sharing. This class provides a brief overview of this research.

God’s Tribunal? The Early Modern English Execution as a Political Forum, c. 1660–1770 The image of the 17th- and 18th-century hanging day has become synonymous with the brutality of a bygone age and a legal system that valued property over human life. But in early modern England, public execution was much more than a debased spectator sport; rather, the gallows were at the very centre of moral and political discourse.

A proliferation of printed material focusing on the lives, behaviour and dying words of condemned malefactors grew out of the much publicized and partisan treason trials and executions of the 1660s, 1670s and 1680s, in which the old divisions and truth claims of the English Civil War were reopened and retried in the very public forum of the gallows.

This presentation will explore the ways in which, for political dissidents and “game” highwaymen alike, “dying well” was both a common goal and a potentially subversive act.

The Geological History of British Columbia and Its Role in the Great Alaskan Terrane Wreck Some 250 million years ago the Earth was a very different planet. All the continents were grouped together in a single supercontinent—Pangea.

Pangea was surrounded by a global superocean— Panthalassa. The west coast of North America, bordering the eastern margin of Panthalassa, was located near the Alberta–British Columbia provincial border. Almost all of the crust that makes up British Columbia was subsequently added to the west margin of North American during the breakup of Pangea. This begs the questions, where did all this crust come from, and how did it get here?

We will discuss evidence that suggests that British Columbia was assembled in a “subduction factory” located on the other side of Panthalassa, greater than 15,000 km west of North America; speculate on the long strange odyssey that subsequently brought BC to our continent; and describe the “terrane wreck” that terminated BC’s wanderings, gave rise to the Rocky Mountains, and was responsible for the construction of Alaska.

Humanities are those studies created by the human desire for knowledge and understanding of our history, classical traditions, literature, language and philosophy. These studies encompass disciplines that address a variety of needs: to examine the ethical values in our lives, to examine our social responsibilities and to develop intellectually sound ways of reflecting on what it means to be a human being.

HUMANITIES, HISTORY, CONTEMPORARY ISSUES

41

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.

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.

Who Should Apply?

The Humanities Diploma Program is designed to meet the needs of those members of the community who wish to follow an integrated course of fullor part-time study in the humanities, and who may need an introduction to university study.

Its flexibility will enable you to choose, in consultation with a faculty coordinator, a particular topic, theme or area of study and to arrange a selection of day or evening courses directed toward that topic. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary approaches, in order to make full use of the resources of all humanities departments at the university.

An orientation course is offered each fall to familiarize you with the library, essay writing and study skills.

CS 201 This course offers an opportunity to explore how the physical environment of this country shapes the Canadian people. What are the connections between the environment and our sense of identity? How has the environment impacted our culture and how did received notions of wilderness impact our environment? How has Canada’s environment been interpreted and protected, despoiled and worshipped, and what can we learn from this story?

In probing the idea of environment as shaper of national consciousness, CS 201 will examine the difference between European and non-western understandings of environment and land use, theories about how environment has determined our development and Canada’s position in the global environmental movement. The course will look at environmental activism and the meaning of sustainability and environmental justice. Through lectures, discussions, films and readings, you will be challenged to articulate your own worldview, and how it informs your appreciation of the environment.

“This program complemented my bachelor degree perfectly, and allowed me to take on new challenges and opportunities while building my network.”

Lori Elder: Certificate in Public Relations My career in communications began in 1987 upon graduation from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I graduated with a degree in communications and was lucky enough to secure a coveted internship at KATU Channel 2 (an ABC affiliate) working as assistant producer of a local children’s television show. I met some amazing people and learned a lot about working behind the scenes at a busy television station.

Having come back home to Victoria, I once again landed an amazing opportunity—but not at a television station, or even in my chosen field.

I was offered a contract position working for a crown corporation. Although I was only supposed to be there for a few weeks, I was fortunate enough to be hired on for 17 years.

During that time, I was able to continue to grow my skills as a communicator through my various roles in project management, marketing and client services, business development, and human resources. Although I really enjoyed the work I did, I always wanted an opportunity to get back into doing more communications-specific work.

From editing to script writing and everything in between, I got to do it all! It was a fantastic opportunity and a great chance to put my education and skills to work.

In 2001 I heard about UVic’s Certificate in Public Relations program. After reading through the course descriptions I knew that this was exactly what I was looking for. The program provided me an opportunity to learn new skills, such as writing communications plans, and offered a relevant current look at the communications profession locally and in various sectors.

I also developed a passion for children’s television programming and was certain this was going to be my new career path. It’s funny how life works out sometimes.

Another perk for me was the opportunity to meet, and learn from, a wide range of students—not only other communications professionals, but people with broader work experiences as well.

This program complemented my bachelor degree perfectly, and allowed me to take on new challenges and opportunities while building my network. For example, it led to a very rewarding volunteer position as media relations coordinator for the Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion events in Victoria. It also opened other doors for paid work (through promotions) performing a wide range of communications functions for our senior management team. None of this would have been possible without the excellent training and concrete skills I gained through the Public Relations Program.

Currently I am working in the non-profit sector for Volunteer Victoria, where I again work with amazing people, and help to support close to 300 other non-profit organizations.

I also have the privilege of meeting and speaking with current students of public relations, with whom I willingly share my experiences and learning.

I believe in lifelong learning, and encourage you to discover for yourself its many benefits.

Lori Elder currently is the Manager, Communications & Community Relations at Volunteer Victoria.

Between the Tides The intertidal area in and around Victoria is an ideal place to study marine life due to the easy access to different habitats, the tidal regime and the abundance of plants and animals. In this course we will attempt to discover the different forms of invertebrate life that occur between the tides, and try to understand how this diverse group of animals can survive under such harsh conditions. We will examine their habits of protection, movement, feeding and reproduction. Lectures, laboratory demonstrations and field trips provide an excellent opportunity for experiential learning. The seven indoor sessions will be held in the marine biology lab equipped with flow-through tanks and housing for an assortment of marine invertebrates ranging from sponges and anemones to crabs and sea stars. Three field trips will provide opportunities for observing more of the local marine life in its natural habitat. Because of the nature of the spring tides, all field trips will be on wet west coast beaches in the evening.

RESTORATION SPEAKER SERIES 2011 Restoration Highs and Lows: Restoring Greater Victoria’s Hills and Valleys Three free lectures 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.

Facilitator: Val Schaefer is the academic administrator of the Restoration of Natural Systems Program.

Admission to the following sessions is free, but register online or call 250-472-4694 to register so we can guarantee you a space.

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. Join us to learn about current restoration activities on this popular local recreation site.

Mount Tolmie Mount Tolmie, like Mount Douglas, is a GORP 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.

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 Aquilea.

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 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, we will spend three nights at most stops, ensuring a fairly leisurely pace.

Southern and Central Spain This tour will introduce you to the beauty of southern and central Spain. The major cities we will visit include: Madrid, Toledo, Córdoba, Granada, Malaga, Sevilla, Avila, Segovia and Barcelona. Southern Spain is well known for its Moorish architecture and brilliant flamenco music. We will have an opportunity to visit the amazing Moorish palace, La Alhambra, in Granada, the wonderful mosque of Córdoba, and the beautiful city of Sevilla that shows off her Moorish flavour in the graceful tower of the cathedral, the Giralda, once a minaret. We will have an opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of flamenco by attending a show called a “tablao.”

In central Spain we will visit the medieval cities of Avila and Segovia. Avila is famous for its fabulous medieval walls and Segovia is home to a beautiful gothic cathedral, a famous castle and a 2000-yearold 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 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. There 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.

The Four Corners Enigma The Four Corners region of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah is a unique blend of indigenous American Indian nations, history, culture and archaeology, at once awe inspiring and puzzling.

On this tour we will travel a landscape of desert plateaus, massive sandstone cliffs and red rock canyons, at one time home to the enigmatic and cliff-dwelling Anasazi Indians.

In Cortez, located in south-western Colorado, we’ll visit its wonderful cultural centres and impressive Native American programs that highlight the Anasazi, Navajo, Hopi and Rio Grande Pueblo traditions, taking us back in time to a once-thriving civilization that rivalled any other. From truly amazing natural landscapes of sandstone and volcanic rock, to man-made wonders the likes of which are found nowhere else in the world, we’ll cover a now-bleak terrain that was once home to thousands of people thriving in a sustainable environment. We’ll visit places like Chaco Canyon with its amazing pueblos, as well as one of America’s largest archaeological preserves, Mesa Verde National Park, located amid channels of deep canyons cut into the mesa, and sheltering hundreds of caves that are some of the largest and best preserved Indian cliff dwellings.

With over 16,000 archaeological sites in the area, there will not be a lack of amazing places for us to explore.

Coming to the UVic Campus The University of Victoria encourages visitors to use sustainable transportation to get to campus: transit, walking, cycling and carpooling. For detailed information on travel choices available to you, please visit web.uvic.ca/sustainability/ TransportationTravelChoices.htm.

Parking Pay parking is in effect Monday to Saturday, 24 hours, except at University Centre Parkade and the Ian H. Stewart Complex, where pay parking is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Parking permits may be purchased at any of the parking permit dispensers located in the numbered lots outside Ring Road, including the Ian Stewart Complex.

These permits are valid only in the General Parking areas (coded blue on sign posts) in numbered lots only, not at parking meters or Reserved parking areas (coded red on sign posts). The lettered lots (inside Ring Road) are for Reserved permit holders until after 4:30 pm weekdays, at which time general permit holders may park. The “after 4:30” rule for General Parking permits does not apply to the areas marked “24-hour Reserved.” Dispensers accept both coin and credit cards. The University Centre Parkade has limited parking and due to the rate structure, only permits purchased in the parkade are valid in the parkade.

Permits must be displayed in clear view on the vehicle dashboard so that both the expiry date and time can be easily inspected.

There are a number of short-term, coin-operated parking meters provided for visitor use.
