SOME IDEAS NEED A LITTLE TIME TO DEVELOP

LIFE IS A HEALTHY MIX OF LEARNING & DOING Find your own balance with over 200 courses and programs

2012 FALL CALENDAR

www.LearningThatShapes.ca/Fall

Welcome to learning that shapes you and your world Life is a healthy mix of learning and doing. First, you absorb the theory and then you put it into practice. Everything you will ﬁnd in this calendar is based on this balance—whether it applies to your career development, your academic goals or the learning you engage in just for fun. Learning that shapes who you are.

For example, we offer certificate and diploma programs that are academically rigorous and grounded in solid theory, but which also allow you to test what you’re learning in real, hands-on projects. In a program like Restoration of Natural Systems, for instance, you will get your hands (and feet) dirty on field projects that take your experience in the classroom into real-life situations. In the Public Relations program you will be taught by industry professionals and build a network of contacts that will benefit your career growth. Other courses will provide you with the same opportunities to practice what you learn, whether you are learning a new language, learning to identify birds, learning to draw or developing your photography skills. Have fun this fall with a mix of learning and doing that will shape your outlook on life!

Join us for a day of fun on Saturday, September 29 UVic is celebrating its 50th anniversary starting with a festival on the UVic campus. It’s open to everyone in the community. We hope you will join in the fun and visit the Continuing Studies tent while you are here. Meet program staﬀ, ﬁnd out about new courses, win prizes! For more information about the festival events, please visit www.uvic.ca/anniversary/festival/

This calendar is also available on our website in a user-friendly interactive format—nothing to download, just turn the pages and click on a course title to get to registration.

The Arts HISTORY IN ART NEW

Caravaggio

Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi) is unquestionably one of history’s greatest painters. In his own day he was a very controversial figure: bold, innovative and unconventional. His private life was equally colourful, marked as it was by wildness, scandal and criminality. He may not have invented chiaroscuro, but he redefined and perfected the light and shadow technique. His dynamic compositions and meld of intense emotion and realism set the tone for the baroque artists who followed him. In this course we will examine his life and work, and consider his contemporary fellow artists.

European-based classical music is not indigenous to the Americas! Through the efforts of patrons and admirers, impresarios and musical luminaries, little by little the great music in the European classical tradition put down roots in the Americas over the course of the past 150 years.

Looking closely at the structure of the language, we will study how their perception of Gaelic preserved surprisingly old cultural ideas yet placed Christian theology and its Latin medium of communication close to its linguistic heart. We will look at the poetry both religious and secular that celebrated and promoted the language alongside the storytelling tradition that formed the basis of modern folktales and lore.

We will also consider alternative interpretations and try to decide which is best, though never claiming that there is only one that is right.

The Celtic Church

Celtic spirituality is immensely popular today. Many believe the tenets of the Celtic church show respect for nature in an era of pollution and exploitation. This course, however, will explore the origins of Celtic Christianity in Ireland and Scotland, which were not without religion or spirituality in the Early Middle Ages. You’ve heard about St. Patrick and St. Columba, but what about St. Fillan or St. Mungo? What do you really know about St. Bridget? What exactly was a Culdee and why is that ascetic community so well remembered? After Christianity was firmly established in Scotland and Ireland, the church was assaulted by the Vikings. We will learn about that, as well as the influence of the Anglo-Normans, and finish with the spirituality of the early church, which continued to shine through the prayers of Scottish Gaels living in the 19th century. This is a course on the history of the early church, not on modern Celtic spirituality; the lecturer is a historian, not a theologian.

An Afternoon in … Istanbul: The Stuff of Dreams

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 fullscale 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.

Join us for a photo journey to one of the most popular travel destinations in the world: Turkey. In the first session, Destination: Turkey, we’ll go on a photographic exploration of the entire country.

One of the few metals to occur in its pure form on the surface of the earth, gold is a remarkably malleable material that can be formed into any shape. To celebrate the 50th (golden) anniversary of the University of Victoria, we have chosen to explore the role of this rare and beautiful metal in medieval society. Speakers will address the ways in which gold was used for sacred purposes ranging from reliquaries and liturgical items to the ornamentation of buildings and manuscripts with gold leaf. The metal had a central role in economic life, with gold coins circulating across the known world. Other talks look at the metaphorical dimensions of gold, including the medieval bestseller The Golden Legend and the pervasive concept of lost “golden ages.” We hope to bring you a workshop that is worth its weight in gold!

Sri Lanka

Join us as we explore the rich history and cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, located just 35 kilometres from India across the Palk Strait. The island’s stunning natural setting provided refuge for early Buddhists and the country remains a major centre of Theravada Buddhism, but it is also home to Hindus, Muslims and Christians. We will consider how geography, climate and foreign intruders have all influenced the island as we know it today.

Antarctic Exploration: Adventure Meets Adversity 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. 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. Instructor: Chris Mundigler, ACA, BA, is a local archaeologist and anthropologist. Date: Thursday, November 1 Time: 7:00 to 9:00 pm Sessions: 1 Fee: $21 plus $2.52 HST Code: ASHI521 2012F C01

A Journey through Israel

Israel is the promised land of the Jews, the birthplace of Christianity and the home of some of the holiest sites in Islam. Whether you are interested in exploring religion, understanding politics, or you just want to relax on its hedonistic beaches, this beautiful, troubled land is guaranteed to challenge your preconceptions. In this session we will take a photographic journey through Israel to gain a deeper appreciation of its colourful history, the diversity of its people and the complex challenges facing this fascinating country. Instructor: Paul G. Chamberlain, PhD, is an historical geographer who specializes in Middle East studies and has a special interest in history, comparative religion and current political events in the region. Date: Thursday, September 27 Time: 7:00 to 9:00 pm Sessions: 1 Fee: $21 plus $2.52 HST Code: ASHI523 2012F C01 NEW Becoming Human: The Origins of Art and Symbolic Behaviour

What does it mean to be human? What is it about our species that sets us apart from every other living creature past and present on this planet? The short answer is our creative impulse, our ability to perceive life in an abstract, symbolic manner, and our desire to communicate these ideas to others. But where did this urge come from and how long ago did it start? Starting in Africa approximately 100,000 years ago, a new pattern of human behaviour emerged, including the earliest examples of elaborate burials and portable art. From there, these practices spread out around the globe. In this course we will explore the antiquity of the “creative explosion” and briefly cover the history of human cognitive evolution. From Africa, we will follow the development of all forms of symbolic behaviour into Ice Age Europe before focusing on the ancient rock art created by our distant ancestors between 10,000 and 35,000 years ago. Instructor: Genevieve Von Petzinger is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at UVic. Her work on European Ice Age rock art was featured on the cover of New Scientist in February 2010, and in 2011 she was chosen as a TEDGlobal fellow and asked to share her research with an international audience at the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh. Date: Thursdays, November 8 to 29 Time: 7:00 to 9:00 pm Sessions: 4 Fee: $65 plus $7.80 HST Code: ASHI525 2012F C01

NEW Freedom from Attachment and Fear

The Buddhist Path to Liberation Buddha taught that our problems do not exist outside our minds. The real nature of our problems is our unpleasant feelings, which are part of our mind. Unpleasant feelings like stress, worry and fear come from our delusions of attachment and self-grasping ignorance. For example, when our wishes are not fulfilled we experience unhappiness and depression, which often cause us to become angry, creating more problems for ourselves and others. Why is this? This is because we have strong attachment to the fulfillment of our wishes. By controlling our attachment and other delusions, we can experience real freedom from problems and suffering. This course will focus on practical methods for reducing our attachment. Each class includes instruction, guided meditation and discussion. Instructor: Gen Kelsang Zopa is a Buddhist monk who has studied Kadampa Buddhism for more than 19 years and has taught extensively throughout Canada. He is currently the Resident Teacher at Bodhichitta Buddhist Centre in Victoria.

Buddhist Faith and Wisdom

How to See Ourselves and the World with Pure Eyes What exactly is faith? Are faith and wisdom opposites? Faith is more than just belief. All good qualities and realizations depend upon faith and are nourished by it. Without faith everything is mundane, and we are unable to see beyond the ordinary and imperfect world we normally inhabit. Faith is like pure eyes that enable us to see a pure and perfect world beyond the suffering world of our experience. This course will examine how faith and wisdom depend upon each other and are inseparable aspects of living a meaningful life. Each class includes instruction, guided meditation and discussion. Instructor: Gen Kelsang Zopa (see instructor biography under Freedom from Attachment and Fear, above) Date: Saturdays, November 24 to December 8 Time: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm Sessions: 3 Fee: $58 plus $6.96 HST Code: ASHI528 2012F C01

Glorious 150th: A Look at Some of Victoria’s Oldest Residences in Celebration of Our City’s Sesquicentennial NEW

Where are Victoria’s log houses? What’s the oldest building in the city? What’s “Gothic” architecture doing in Victoria? Who was the city’s first architect? How come we’ve lost so many mansions? What’s the smallest house in Victoria? Why is downtown brick, and almost everything else wood? What could you build for $100 in the 1880s? Author and researcher Nick Russell explores these and other questions about Victoria’s architecture from the 19th century, in an entertaining and richly illustrated talk based on his recent book: Glorious Victorians: 150 Years/150 Houses: Celebrating residential architecture in BC’s capital. Instructor: Nick Russell, PhD, retired as a journalist and journalism teacher to expand his interest in built-heritage. He and his wife have restored several heritage homes, and won a wallful of heritage awards. He is a former president of Heritage Regina and the Hallmark Heritage Society, and is an active researcher for the Victoria Heritage Foundation. He was senior editor of the four-volume series, This Old House: Victoria’s Heritage Neighbourhoods, and was co-editor of Victoria Underfoot: Excavating a City’s Secrets.

Ghosts and Legends of Victoria

Christmas in Old Victoria

As October draws to a close people begin to think of Halloween, the end of the year in the old Celtic calendar. As days grow shorter and colder, the veil that separates the land of the living from the land of the dead begins to lift and the spirits move freely between the two realms. Historian John Adams has been collecting ghost stories from Victoria for 25 years and will share some of the classics and some of the most intriguing during this presentation. He will define ghosts and explain why Victoria seems to have more than its fair share of them. His talk will include lots of history of the city, too, so will be of interest even to skeptics. This is one not to miss … if you dare.

Christmas was observed as a religious event during the early days of Fort Victoria, but by the time the Fraser River Gold Rush began in 1858 it had started to take on a more secular appearance. Find out how Christmas was observed in Victoria during the 19th century, from the annual decoration of the churches to the competition between butcher shops for the fanciest store window displays. In this illustrated talk, John Adams will draw upon the reminiscences of Emily Carr, Dr. John S. Helmcken and many other residents of the city who vividly describe their Christmas traditions and memories. If you think that the commercialization of Christmas is a recent phenomenon, you will be amazed to discover it was happening here back in the 1880s.

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.

An Afternoon in … Machu Picchu

Join us for three sessions with popular instructor Chris Mundigler.

Machu Picchu—the name alone evokes hushed tones and reverent nods. But the place is so much more: perched in the heavens, it was at once a palace for mere mortals and a home for the gods, hidden from both native and European eyes for almost 500 years. Join us as we explore this enigmatic sanctuary in the clouds from its initial construction during the European late Middle Ages to its forgotten glory, to its eventual rediscovery only a century ago, and its current status as number one on many bucket lists.

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 demise through civil war, environmental misuse and the greed of slavery.

The Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Politics of Truth This talk looks at Canada’s ongoing Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which is addressing our wrongful history of attempting forcibly to assimilate indigenous children in residential schools. In particular, the talk will focus on how the TRC, through its mandate and approach, is attempting to discover the truth about the schools. Dr. James will show first that how to approach the matter of “truth” has been a major question for other truth commissions around the world. Second, he will explain that the Canadian TRC appears to have followed the famous example of the South African TRC in taking what the litera-

ture on truth commissions calls a “victim-centred” approach to truth. This approach contrasts with more classically “perpetrator-centred” approaches to truth, that is, those that focus less on the knowledge and insights possessed by the victims of the injustices, and more on uncovering the deeds, decisions and guilt of those who committed them. Despite its impressive strengths, Dr. James argues that this kind of approach runs the risk of leaving unaccountable the Canadian institutions responsible for the injustices associated with the residential schools. Instructor: Matt James, PhD, Department of Political Science, UVic Date: Thursday, October 4 Time: 9:30 to 11:30 am Sessions: 1 Fee: $23.75 plus $2.85 HST Code: ASPT006 2012F C01

The 2012 Race to the White House: US Politics and the Media On November 6, 2012 many in the United States will cast their vote for President, Congressional Representative, Senator, and other political offices. However, most attention is focused on the Presidency. Will President Barack Obama win a second term or will he be unseated by a Republican candidate? The race to the White House catches our attention due to the colourful commentary and photo opportunities that pundits, the media and regular people respond to in the legacy media and new media. The talk will also discuss the impact of legacy and new media such as Twitter on the election.

Date: Thursday, November 1 Time: 9:30 to 11:30 am Sessions: 1 Fee: $23.75 plus $2.85 HST Code: ASPT006 2012F C02 For more on the US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, please see: • Politics, Parties and the 2012 US Presidential Election, page 32

Tropical Troubles: Conservation in a Crowded World Biodiversity decline is one of the most serious challenges confronting humanity.

Resolving the conflict between sustaining tropical livelihoods and maintaining and enhancing conservation has been the focus of Dr. Dearden’s research program for almost 30 years. In this lavishly illustrated lecture he draws upon current research activities in countries such as Tanzania, Ghana, Thailand and India to illustrate the nature of the challenge, the importance of understanding geographical context, and possible solutions to the decline in biodiversity.

What’s New in Humanities? Why Truth Is Important in the Aftermath of Violence What is the value of truth in the aftermath of massive human rights violations? One important reason truth matters is because of its connection to knowledge. To be true is to be faithful to experience. And so when societies commit to seeking

truth, they commit themselves to seeking statements and narratives and offering explanations that are faithful to experiences. Whose experiences must statements, narratives and explanations be faithful to? And which aspects must be taken into account? How societies answer these questions reveals a lot about what they value.

Humanities

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. 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.

Issues and Ideas in Canadian Environmentalism 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, and 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. Note: This is an online course.

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. NEW

Works of Eckhart Tolle

One of the most popular spiritual teachers today is Eckhart Tolle. As well as having sold over eight million books, he has appeared on a major webcast presentation with Oprah and inspired many to discover the joy of a life lived more “in the now.” If this topic intrigues you, please join us for a fascinating look at this influential author and teacher. This study group will take the form of facilitated discussion of the main themes of Eckhart Tolle as articulated in his works, The Power of Now and The New Earth. It is not necessary to have read both books, but one might be helpful. No background knowledge is necessary and everyone is welcome. Participants are expected to make a brief presentation to the group but that may be as simple as a reading of a passage from one of the books, followed by your comments.

HISTORY OF LANGUAGES NEW

This series of lectures will focus on the evolution of specific languages, from their origins to their present-day forms, under a multitude of historical, cultural, social, economic and even technological influences.

The Gaelic Language on Both Sides of the Irish Sea This course will trace the development of the Gaelic language from its earliest forms to the present day, looking at how the common language of the medieval court poets formed the basis for both Irish and Scottish Gaelic. Intended to ground students in the idioms and vocabulary distinctive of Gaelic tradition as it grew and changed in Ireland from the seventh century to the modern day, these lectures presume no previous knowledge of Irish or Scottish Gaelic but more advanced students will also greatly benefit from its focus on the development of the linguistic tradition.

The History of English: Saxons to Shakespeare (and Beyond) This course will trace the development of the English language from its earliest attested sources in England to current forms found in various dialects around the globe. Our purpose will be to define continuities and disjunctions in the language as it changed and developed through the impact of French during the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries, Latin during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, and the myriad influences of globalism after the transportation and informational revolutions of the 20th century. We will define processes that shaped the language over its history and still shape it in such unexpected milieux as rap music and chat abbreviations. By doing so we will give students a clearer understanding of the many and vexing idioms that define modern English, whether written or spoken.

New Pilot Project in FLDP We have developed a blended version of FLDP100, for students who do not have the time to come to campus frequently: it will feature mostly online components as well as a few regular classes on campus to provide the necessary oral communication opportunities. The blended course will run concurrently with the regular face-to-face course, so that students who start the program at level 1 have the choice between the two delivery methods. The blended version will only be offered for the fall term this time as a pilot project. Our plan is to develop further levels using the same delivery method, thanks to the feedback we will obtain from participants in the pilot. The tuition for this first offering will be only $300. In return, participants must agree to be tested before and after the course as well as answer a few questionnaires during the session to give us feedback on their experience. For more information call Didier Bergeret, French Programs Coordinator, at 250721-8511.

It can be taken as a stand-alone credential or concurrently with an undergraduate degree. Depending on the time you can devote to your studies, the program may be completed on a full-time (1–2 years) or part-time (2–4 years) basis. Normally, admission to the diploma program requires the completion of at least two years

Sustainability, Environment Cross-Cultural Stories of the Land NEW

Belinda Claxton and Briony Penn are friends and share the same territory of WENNANEC—the place facing Saanich—one of the oldest and most sacred village sites in the Salish Sea. Both are descended from prominent leaders of this territory in their own cultures. At the heart of the friendship is their love of the land, which leads to a collaboration on restoration, conservation and education projects. Join these friends for an evening presentation or for a day-long, hands-on workshop to learn more about the natural and cultural history of this area. Instructors: Briony Penn is an artist, geographer, educator, columnist, TV host of Enviro/Mental, and adjunct professor/lecturer in the School of Environmental Studies and Restoration of Natural Systems Program. Briony has worked extensively with many environmental organizations and is the co-founder of The Land Conservancy of BC.

Belinda Claxton learned from her late mother to appreciate her very rich culture and values; to appreciate the land, water, sea life animals and native plants, and in return to look after the land. An Introduction to the Natural and Cultural History of WENNANEC Through the intertwined story of Belinda’s and Briony’s families’ lives and relationships to the land from contact to now, their path of restoring the land and the divide between cultures is described. Participants will learn about one of the teaching tools which Belinda and Briony have developed: the 13-moon calendar wheel that captures the two world views in the months of the year, the seasonal happenings, the plants and animals that live at WENNANEC, and the spiritual traditions in both languages, English and SENCOTEN.

Restoration Speaker Series 2012 Restoration on the Bay Three free lectures sponsored by the Restoration of Natural Systems Program The coastline, bays and offshore islands around cities are often biologically very productive. Being situated next to urban development, they face many threats to sensitive ecosystems. The coastlines of the bays around Victoria are eroded by wave action from the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Inner Harbour has a legacy of sediment contamination from previous industrial activity and gasification plants. In this evening lecture series, speakers will describe the environmental issues facing the bays and islands around Victoria and work being done to restore these natural areas. Coordinator: Val Schaefer is the academic administrator of the Restoration of Natural Systems Program. Admission to the following sessions is free, but call 250-472-4747 to register so we can guarantee you a space.

Argentina: Culture and Geography Argentina, the eighth largest country in the world and second largest country in South America, has been named “El país de los seis continentes” (The Country of Six Continents) due to its strikingly diverse geography, history and culture. However, because of its turbulent politics, economic ups

and downs and geographical isolation, Argentina has remained well off the beaten travel path, its charms known only to the adventurous traveller. During our three-week stay, we will explore the rich cultural heritage and diverse geographical regions that this country has to offer. We will have the opportunity to observe and experience the cultural sophistication of Buenos Aires as well as the topographical beauty of the pampas, the rain forest on the Brazilian border, and the wineproducing regions of the Andean Northwest. This exciting tour will include tango lessons at the traditional Café Tortoni; a show at the elegant Teatro Colón; a live soccer or polo match; a visit to the Plaza de Mayo (where the Madres do their weekly round to remember their “disappeared” sons and daughters); a stop at Evita’s tomb in the Recoleta cemetery; a ride on the impressive “Train to the Clouds” in the northwestern province of Salta to observe the breathtaking Andean landscape; a visit to the wineries of Cafayate where we will sample Argentina’s unique Torrontés grape; a traditional asado criollo feast at one of the great estates on the pampas (home of the legendary gaucho); a guided walk through Iguazú Falls National Park to explore the rich flora and fauna of the rainforest; and several free days for shopping

After three nights in Cappadocia we drive to Tarsus, the birthplace of Saint Paul. Travelling eastward to Gaziantep, we will visit its ancient Kale (citadel), the Coppersmiths’ Bazaar and the Archaeological Museum. We then make our way to Kahta for an overnight stop, allowing us an early morning ascent of Mt. Nemrut with its colossal statues and spectacular views. From here we drive to Urfa, considered by some to be the birthplace of Abraham, and visit the ancient city of Harran, with its mud beehive houses, and the prehistoric site Gobekli Tepe, the world’s first temple. We then fly from Urfa to Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, where we spend our final two nights before our return journey home. Academic Resource: Chris Mundigler, ACA, BA Date: May 2013

Art History of the Southwest: Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico Join us to discover the unique qualities of the desert which have inspired artists for thousands of years. In the 20th century, New Mexico was the spiritual home for internationally renowned artist Georgia O’Keeffe as well as a rich source of inspiration for Lawren Harris, who made New Mexico his home in the late 1930s. Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico attracted writers and artists of the Bloomsbury Group as well, most notably, D.H. Lawrence. We will travel the special landscape of the American Southwest with a particular focus on both the indigenous cultures—particularly the Hopi, Zuni, Tewa and Navajo—and the life and works of Georgia O’Keeffe. Flying from Victoria direct to and from Phoenix we will visit galleries and museums such as the Heard in Phoenix and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. Included will be dedicated trips to historic sites such as Taos Pueblo, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Ghost Ranch near

Theatre in Scotland and England This is the tenth theatre tour to Britain with Dr. Michael Booth, beginning in Scotland and moving south to England, taking in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, Stratford-upon-Avon and finishing up in London. In each of these centres we go to the theatre, the principal focus of the tour, although the sightseeing element is also important. The pace is unhurried: only one hotel stay is shorter than three nights, and travel is by private coach. Since the British theatres are always late in choosing their repertory, the actual selection of plays for the tour will be necessarily delayed but will be announced as soon as possible. Academic Resource: Michael Booth, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Department of Theatre, University of Victoria Date: September 18 to October 6, 2013
