New Canadian Art: Part IV

This is the fourth course by John Lucas on contemporary Canadian art and will feature all new material. We will explore the work of artists from across Canada and highlight the extraordinary variety of the Canadian art scene.

Examples will be drawn from a wide variety of media: painting, sculpture, pottery, glassmaking, film, photography and printmaking.

Emily Carr in France

In 1910, Modern Art in Paris had a profound effect on Emily Carr. Her trips to various locations in France and her encounters with Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Fauve and Cubist art inspired and stimulated Carr to create using an entirely new visual vocabulary, technique and palette.

We will consider her sketches, oils on canvas, watercolours and her writing as well. Where Carr went, who she studied with, as well as the why, how and when, will form the framework of this course. Attention will also be paid to the leading artists and movements that constituted the Modern Art of Paris in Carr’s time. Each lecture will provide many examples of Carr’s artwork from private as well as public collections.

NEW Deconstructing 007: James Bond, Beyond the Movies

You know his number and you know his name.

But how did creator Ian Fleming choose the name James Bond—and why “007”? How was the literary Bond different, and what’s being written now?

Find out in this zesty survey course examining the overall Bond Boom—from the movies and books to the music and marketing. We’ll also consider the societal impact of this 60-plus year phenomenon, and touch on some cultural criticism along the way. From shifting gender roles and the changing face of espionage to the post-war collapse of the British Empire and the popular revival of Bond in the 21st century, we’ll look behind the scenes—and beneath the covers—of Ian Fleming’s enduring creation.

This is a course for anyone who loves their antiheroes both shaken and stirred. With Spectre— the 24th official Bond film—coming out in November, there’s never been a better time to deconstruct 007.

Sufism and the Sufi Lodge: Examining Islamic Social and Spiritual Traditions through Architecture and Setting

Canadian Masterpiece Series: J. E. H. MacDonald (1873 –1932)

The orders of Sufism teach initiates how to achieve closeness with the Divine on a lifelong path of service, practice and learning.

While many generations of people from many backgrounds have responded to the “mystical” verse of Sufi poet Rumi or the ecstasy of whirling dervishes, Sufi initiates were and are dedicated to a very intensive course of labour and tasks in this world as well as their metaphysical considerations. Lodges once formed a key element in the economic life and the provision of social services in the Islamic world. This course will look at some of the circumstances of medieval and modern Sufi life by basing discussion around the lives of initiates in the setting of the Sufi lodge.

Instructor: Angela Andersen, PhD in History in Art, studies the art and architecture of Islamic societies.

Art Deco Japan

In art, architecture and design Art Deco became a worldwide phenomenon with a huge impact on 20th century culture. Coinciding with a period of great innovation in industrial materials, film, and air and land travel, combined with an atmosphere of hopefulness after the devastation of the Great War, the boldness and freshness of Art Deco captured the imagination and is for many “the last great style”. Japan’s contributions to Art Deco are among the best

Twentieth-century architect Frank Lloyd Wright was famously named “the greatest American architect of all time” by the American Institute of Architects. His design works included homes, factories, churches, offices, boathouses, train stations and museums—there was almost no building type that he did not design, and no aspect of the design process that he did not control.

Opera Live and in High Definition Go beyond Pacific Opera Victoria’s season and explore three of the Metropolitan Opera’s 2015–16 high definition broadcasts. This course includes the same three lectures as Saturday Mornings at the Opera plus three operatic masterpieces offered in high definition at Cineplex theatres in Victoria. We begin in September with two Verdi greats, Il Trovatore and Otello. In Il Trovatore jealousy, revenge and hate collide as two brothers battle for the love of a beautiful woman; in Otello jealousy instigates heartbreaking tragedy. Wagner’s youthful Tannhäuser juxtaposes profane love and holy redemption, while Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers transports us to the exotic shores of Sri Lanka. In February, we’ll be entertained in Rossini’s witty romp, The Barber of Seville. The course finishes with misplaced magic and a confused quartet of lovers in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Opera lovers and the opera curious alike are welcome to attend.

Gift of the Muses

Daughters of Zeus, followers of Apollo, deities of Delphi: we know them as the Muses. Since antiquity the Muses have given their name to music. Even to our own day they have been credited by musicians the world over as the source of musical inspiration. Poetry of love and praise, our stories and legends, the quivering of the universe and shaking of our bodies, our laughter and our failings have been claimed by the Muses and granted to us through music.

In this class we will explore some of the masterpieces of music, and through them follow the journey of inspiration as it works through composers and interpreters. No prior experience in music is required.

By the end of the course you will have achieved a deeper understanding of how inspiration drives the act of creating and recreating music by learning basic elements of: • The brief biographical history of selected composers with a focus on their sources of musical inspiration; • The characteristics and evolution of creative and recreative process in music; • Compositional techniques employed to capture the creative impulse in sound; • Principal influences at play in the creation of selected works; and • The variety of approaches employed by conductors and performers in interpreting presented works.

Eighteenth century Classicism emerged when two worlds collided: the old aristocratic regime, which sought to preserve traditions, order, reason, and symmetry, and a new politicaleconomic alignment in Europe, led by revolts for a transfer of power to the middle class, capitalism, and individual rights. Music born of this era constitutes one of the pinnacles of Western culture.

Working with inexpensive materials and using easy-to-follow exercises, you will be guided to gain hand-to-eye connectivity while exploring mark-making and tonal options.

Perspective will become a natural element of your drawing.

The program will include in-class drawing projects and suggested assignments to bring out the artist in you.

A comprehensive supply list will be sent before the course starts. A limited amount of supplies will be provided by the instructor ($10 charge included in class fee).

Expressive Drawing and Mark Making This course offers the opportunity for you to stretch your creative muscles. It is designed as a companion course to the popular Yes, You Can Draw!, or as a standalone exploration of drawing and mark making.

The course provides interesting yet easy to follow class exercises and projects using both wet and dry media, such as charcoal, ink, some watercolour of course, pencil and some tools that are expressive and well “outside the box.”

While working with inexpensive materials and using easy-to-follow projects, you will explore the various media that offer the excitement of mark making. The class projects will assist in your understanding of the effects of lighting, volume, structure, texture and space. This will lead to renderings that build on the fundamentals, adding a rhythm and mood to arrive at strong compositions and your own personal creative expression in mark making and drawing.

The course timeframe is structured to provide ample time for home based exploration of assignments. A comprehensive supply list will be sent before the course starts. A limited amount of supplies will be provided by the instructor (included in the course fee).

The Contemporary Landscape 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. The impact of human activity on the natural world, from subtle to surreal, has spawned a category of landscape imagery beyond pastoral, reflecting contemporary political, social and environmental trends.

In this course, we will examine early examples of alternative landscapes spanning the Age of Discovery (often aided by the camera lucida) to modern works such as Ansel Adams’ more obscure “Fiat Lux” commissions and the documentarian photomurals of Edward Burtynsky, currently in vogue.

In addition to class lecture time, there will be two planned field trips during which you will capture your own images, and complete a pair of single image assignments (self or commercially printed). The objective of this course is for you to create thought-provoking landscapes of

historical context reflecting our era.

“You have lived and learned in your own special way, and you have important thoughts, experiences, and feelings to pass on to those around you.” – Robert Flashman et al Most of us have a Last Will and Testament for the legal allocation of our possessions, but few of us prepare an equally important document that outlines the values, wisdom and personal reflections we truly want to pass on to others. An ethical will, or legacy letter, is an effective way to achieve this important task. Such a document may well be one of the most cherished and meaningful gifts you can give to family, friends or community.

This workshop will encourage you to examine and chronicle the personal values, beliefs, life lessons and achievements that have been particularly important to you. Through small group discussion and guided writing exercises, you will have an opportunity to begin this process.

Instructor: Faye Ferguson provides personal history services to individuals and families in the greater Victoria region (www.fayeferguson. com).

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”, 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.

The world of Positive Psychology introduces simple, effective and practical tools to help you look at the world in ways that help you feel happy, optimistic and in control of your life.

This is not about faith, affirmations or getting a personality transplant. Instead, it’s about really looking inside and gently challenging the way

Stress and Sudden Unexplained Death

Body Language Level II: Further Communication

Sudden unexplained death (with no underlying cause seen at autopsy) accounts for a significant number of deaths, often occurring in stressful situations. The patterning of social pressures which might account for this are poorly understood, although the manner in which the nervous system may engage with fear to produce such a result has long been understood.

Learn about the social stressors that may cause this phenomenon as Dr. Stephenson draws on case histories from his work, particularly among refugees, to help explain the patterning of social pressures and death.

Would you like to understand more about the hidden language your body sends out and receives? Learn about cross-cultural differences, personal territory, “public” vs. “intimate” body language styles, gender differences, the body language of interpersonal attraction, and the latest research from inter-species body language communication.

NEW European Borders Without Walls: An Open Online Course

Understanding borders in the 21st century is more difficult than ever before. Thanks to technological changes borders are nearly

everywhere. They are both physical (a line on the ground) and virtual (biometric), and all of us are now subjected to multiple boundary crossings. Borders are becoming more difficult to define and manage and 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 open online survey course you will learn about the history of borders and boundary making. You will explore what happens in cultural borderlands, and how current changes affect our understanding and the activities of governments as they face the many challenges related to borders and boundaries: flows of trade or migrants, pandemics and sustainability issues, and security.

You will have access to a wide range of debates on the history, culture, economics, sustainability, security and governance of borders. Each of the course’s 10 units introduces a fundamental aspect of our era of changing borders and uses a variety of learning activities to illustrate the topic. Video-clips, short readings and online lectures lead to weekly group discussion and assignments.

The course material will prepare you to compare North American and European borders and formulate ideas on both. Some of the topics we will cover include: • defining borders, boundaries and frontiers, and their history • political, ethno linguistic and religious communities and borders • markets and borders • migrations and borders • governments and borders—the ongoing struggle • environmental challenges • security policies and border challenges This course is possible thanks to generous funding from the European Union Centre of Excellence and the Jean Monnet Chair in European Border and Urban Region Policies at UVic. It is open on a non-credit basis to professionals in the public and private sector and community members with a strong interest in borders. Non-credit participants who finish all assignments will receive a certificate of completion.

The course is also open to UVic students as a fourth-year undergraduate credit course (EUS 490), assessed according to university standards and subject to tuition fees. If you are a UVic student who would like to register for credit please contact borders@uvic.ca.

Celtic Mythology

Destination: Peloponnese

The ancient Celts believed that all things, animate and inanimate, were possessed by a spirit or god. Mountains, hills and trees were manly, while rivers and meadows were feminine. The Celts knew that the gods watched their every move, so any action was carefully considered. Nature and the landscape were highly respected, and that reverence for nature passed gently to Celtic Christianity. Then there was the tough side of Celtic mythology: the fearsome and muscular warrior gods who were remembered for the battles they fought.

In this course you will learn about the Gaelic deities of Scotland and Ireland and about the development of the belief in fairies. We will also deal with Gaulish and British gods.

Ancient and Traditional India to 1700 CE NEW

India, besides boasting one of the oldest civilizations of the world, has given us many essential things, such as decimal numbers, the zero, yoga and meditation. Even the current trend of food security and “locavorism” can be traced back to ancient Indian eating practices. But, for most of us in the West, India, and especially its ancient heritage, is a mystery. In this course you will learn about ancient and traditional Indian civilizations to 1700 CE. Through readings, class discussions, and videos, we will cover such things as the Indus Valley Civilization, the Aryan migrations, caste, Indian religious traditions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism), Indian regions, kingdoms, and empires, and Indian art, literature, architecture and science.

In this photographic tour, we’ll visit the Peloponnese through the major archaeological sites, the wayside Greek villages, the people, food, touristic hot spots and the one-of-a-kind Mediterranean shoreline. We will feast our eyes on the majesty, beauty and wonder of a part of Greece that gave us the first Olympic Games, unprecedented art, magnificent landscapes, one side of the Trojan War and more beaches than you can shake your sunglasses at.

Orientalism: Impressions of the Arab World through Western Eyes In the 19th century Western travellers descended on the Arab world, transmitting colourful imagery back to Europe in the form of art, literature and photography. This representation of the Other from a position of power was problematic, because such discourses rested on the premise that the West knew more about the Orient than the Orient knew about itself. As well as depicting romantic, timeless and exotic imagery, there was a tendency to depict the Orient as static, passive and sometimes morally inferior, promoting prejudices that not only facilitated colonialism but linger in the Western imagination to this day. In this session, we will explore the concept of Orientalism in the context of “Grand Tour Memorabilia” to better understand how it was articulated, why it has stimulated so much debate, and what it means for our contemporary understanding of the Arab world.

At Berwick Royal Oak J. E. H. MacDonald is best known for his role as a founding member and a driving force of the Group of Seven. We will consider his student years, his commitment to Canada and the arts in particular, and his unique vision of the landscape of Canada. MacDonald turned his attention to urban and rural topics throughout Canada. In this course we will focus on his work in diverse areas of the country, particularly those of Algonquin Park, Georgian Bay and Algoma regions of Ontario, as well as Atlantic Canada and the Rocky Mountains.

The course is designed to include as many examples of his paintings as possible from the turn of the 20th century until 1932. In addition to his painting, MacDonald is renowned as a highly gifted designer, an extraordinary art educator and poet who was highly influential in the development of Canadian art in the 20th century.

Western Civilization as we know it would not exist if it was not for the historically and archaeologically rich area of southern Greece known as the Peloponnese. In this photographic tour, we’ll visit the Peloponnese through the major archaeological sites, the wayside Greek villages, the people, food, touristic hot spots and the one-of-a-kind Mediterranean shoreline. We will feast our eyes on the majesty, beauty and wonder of a part of Greece that gave us the first Olympic Games, unprecedented art, magnificent landscapes, one side of the Trojan War and more beaches than you can shake your sunglasses at.

Their steps have included litigation against pipeline expansion, interventions in hearings to block pipeline approvals, collaborations with faith groups to stimulate ethical and spiritual debates about expansion, divestment campaigns and preparations for direct action. Opposition parties have had to consider the nature and extent of their own commitment to bitumen. In this lecture, Dr. Lawson will survey and assess key strategies for and against bitumen, and consider their implications for the coming federal election.

The World According to John This talk will introduce you to the delights of The Book of John Mandeville (late 1350s), a medieval bestseller that claimed to recount a far-travelling English knight’s recollections of the biblical and marvellous East, from Constantinople to the Earthly Paradise. Originally composed in French, this account was actually compiled from other books, including genuine travellers’ memoirs. In its day and for centuries after, it was more popular than Marco Polo’s memoir, being translated into 10 languages (including Czech, English, Irish, and Latin) and circulating in deluxe manuscript copies as well as cheap ones; by the early 16th century it had been printed in eight languages. Early readers included Geoffrey Chaucer, Christine de Pizan, Leonardo da Vinci, Gerardus Mercator, Martin Frobisher, and Sir Walter Raleigh.

Instructor: Iain Macleod Higgins, PhD, has taught at the University of Victoria since 2001 in both the English Department and the Medieval Studies Program.

Why Study Canada?

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

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

The Canadian Studies Program is designed for full- or part-time local and international students who wish to broaden their knowledge and understanding of Canada. In addition to three core courses in Canadian culture and issues, students may choose from a range of other courses related to Canada offered by the faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences and Fine Arts.

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

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 had an impact on our culture and how did received notions of wilderness affect 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.

Humanities Humanities Diploma Program 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.

The Humanities Diploma Program (HDP) is an award-winning program designed to help mature students access a university education in the humanities. HDP students range in age from late-20s to mid-80s and have a wide range of backgrounds. They engage in full- or part-time study for career or personal development, and benefit from individual support from program and faculty coordinators and from the community they build with their peers. In return, they bring their extensive life experience, diverse

french programs Hungry for French? Enjoy a varied menu that fits every taste.

You may have many reasons for wanting to speak French but no matter what your motivation, we believe that you’ll learn faster and retain what you learn if the experience is friendly, supportive and something you’ll look forward to each time.

Whether you’re working towards a French Language Diploma and a credential that demonstrates a high level of ability, or simply have a love for language, a desire to engage with new friends, and want to immerse yourself in a different cultural experience, our programs welcome you at every level.

French Language Conversation Classes (FLCC): New Format!

The FLCC program is a club you’ll be glad you joined! You’ll meet and get to know people like yourself who want learning a language to be fun, stimulating and connected to the reality of your life and how you live it. The emphasis is on learning to speak and understand French in a relaxed atmosphere among friends.

We have restructured this program to better meet the needs of our student population, offering three 10-week sessions per year and courses that participants self-select based on their abilities. The purpose of each course is to give you the opportunity to practice your oral French at a level that you are comfortable with (novice, conversant or advanced), and not to take you to the next level. The only exception is the pre-novice level, which is an introductory class that you normally take once, and only if you are a complete beginner.

Courses at each level can be taken as many times as you wish, and the main themes will vary from one session to the next, based on the interests and needs of each class. Select a class that is appropriate for you: Register for the Pre-Novice level if …

You can recognize a few French words because they look or sound similar to words in your own language.

Register for the Novice level if …

You have taken the Pre-Novice course, or if you already know how to: count up to 20, spell your name, give your address and your phone number, speak about yourself, your family, your work, the weather, time and date, identify basic shapes and colours, ask and answer basic yes/ no questions.

LearningThatShapes.ca • 250-472-4747

Register for the Conversant level if …

You already know how to: Speak on the telephone, ask for and give directions and other information (such as say where it hurts), make reservations, give a definition, clarify a statement, tell whether a sentence is in a past, present or future tense.

Register for the Advanced level if …

You already know how to: express the relation of time between various events in the past, present and future, make hypotheses, express various emotions (disappointment, empathy, surprise, etc.), give advice, disagree with someone, use different registers in different contexts, identify accents from various parts of the Francophone world.

The classes represent a small time commitment—just one two-hour class per week for 10 weeks—and there is no required textbook to buy and no exams. You’ll also have access to the many language resources available at UVic, including the digital language labs and the library.

Fall 2015 term runs from the end of September to the beginning of December.

Fee: $229 per term (10 weeks)

French Language Diploma Program (FLDP) This is a comprehensive part-time program in French, focusing on both oral and written communication that can take up to five years to complete. Unlike the conversation classes, it is designed to allow you to move progressively from one level to the next.

You can start as a beginner, but if you already know some French we offer a $15 assessment (refundable when you register in the program) and can determine which level is appropriate for you. You normally enter a course in September, but you can also join one at midpoint in January if your initial level is sufficient. This program features required textbooks and one exam per session.

At some levels, there is an option to choose between the regular face-to-face section and the blended format (in which most of the instruction is done online and only five classes are face-to-face).

There are five levels and two terms per level.

Each term is 13 weeks. Levels 1 and 2 consist of a two-hour class twice per week, and Levels 3 to 5 consist of a three-hour class once per week.

Fee: $509 per term (Levels 1 and 2) or $419 per term (Levels 3 to 5)

LANGUAGES 47

If you have already completed Level 5 and are eager to continue to strengthen your advanced skills in a course that features grades and written work but no exams, the French Language Advanced Course (FLAC600) has been designed especially for you.

We’re here to answer your questions and help you get started.

Contact us by phone or email if you have questions about which program is right for you. We can help you with applications and information about the bursaries that may be available to you. You can also drop by the office and speak to our friendly multi-lingual French program staff.

We love to speak French and we know you will too!

This year the University of Victoria’s Public Relations Program celebrates its 20th anniversary.

We would like to pay special tribute to the people who have assisted in making this program a success.

This includes students, graduates, instructors, staff, steering committee members, industry professionals and influencers.

Below are just two of our many graduates. You can read more about them and others at our celebration website:

www.uvcs.uvic.ca/publicrelations/20years

Gillian Edwards, 2015 Grad

Alec Tully, 2007 Grad

“I am currently a Communications Specialist for Brookfield Residential, one of the largest developers and homebuilders in North America. I work mainly on stakeholder engagement for our new communities, to ensure that voices are being heard and incorporated into our beautiful communities. I started into PR and communications after working an election campaign and seeing the inside scoop of what goes into the political campaigns that we see as a citizen. When the election campaign was over, I knew that I wanted to work in communications so I started looking for programs that would give me the background I needed to get into that field.

Currently, Alec is a Public Affairs Officer with the Province of British Columbia’s Public Affairs Bureau. He works at the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation in Victoria.

What I love most about PR is the constant variety—and the insight into how people think! It’s never what you expect, that’s for sure. I have been lucky to use communications in a number of different roles so my background is quite diverse now. PR is a field that is always needed in any organization. It also helps that I love writing and words!”

LearningThatShapes.ca • 250-472-4747

In 2006, he was the recipient of the second annual Petroleum Communication Foundation Legacy Scholarship for Excellence in Communication. His education includes an Honours BA (history, 1974), BEd (elementary school teacher, 1975), MA (history, 1982) and MA (journalism, 1986) from the University of Western Ontario.

In addition, he earned a certificate in video production from the Banff School of Fine Arts (1989).

“UVic’s Public Relations Program provides two invaluable tools: context and contacts,” says Alec. “Like me, many students have actually worked in communications for years without much specific training in the conceptual, historical and research context of public relations. The program remedies that deficiency. Then of course, it’s really all about people, because you learn from students as well as instructors. The program is a goldmine for contacts.”

Instructor: Dr. Richard Dewey, Associate Director of Science Services, leads the team of Ocean Networks Canada staff scientists.

Dr. Dewey’s background is in physical oceanography and marine acoustics.

Located on mid-ocean ridges, hydrothermal vent ecosystems are characterized by extreme environments and unique organisms, which don’t depend on sunlight. Scientific study is very challenging in these environments, but research is slowly providing us with an understanding of hydrothermal vent organisms and how they evolve over time. Join us to learn more about the science of these ecosystems and Ocean Networks Canada’s NEPTUNE observatory which operates a suite of sensors 2 km beneath the ocean surface at the Main Endeavour Vent Field 250 km off the BC Coast.

Automobile Aerodynamics Since Henry Ford’s first car, automotive engineering has advanced in leaps and bounds.

No longer do we putter along at a sedate 30 miles per hour with the wind gently blowing our scarves backwards. As technology has advanced so has our ability to achieve supersonic speeds—faster than 760 mph—on land! In this talk, we’ll look at the impact of aerodynamics on automotive engineering and design, ranging from family sedans to Formula 1 racing cars, and show how fuel efficiency requirements have resulted in lowering the drag coefficients of even the mighty gas guzzlers!

Medieval to Renaissance: The Evolution of Botanical Illustration NEW

From early times through to the Medieval and Renaissance eras, plants have been an important theme for artists and illustrators in Europe, the Americas and the East. In this course we will explore the fascinating history of flowers and foliage in paintings, prints and drawing.

We’ll begin with the rather stilted, unnatural illustrations of medieval herbals and codices and continue on to the “golden period” of botanical illustration, represented by the accurate and clinical portrayals of 18th century Linnaean style.

Instructor: Susan Hawkins is currently a PhD Candidate in Art History and Visual Studies at the University of Victoria.

Rainwater Harvesting: Building Natural Processes

Options for Study

Developing an awareness of natural and built-environment water cycles is essential for the effective management of water resources.

Urban development (including vast, impervious surfaces and sophisticated supply/waste systems) has severely interrupted natural water cycles. Refurbishing nature’s water processes is a big job, requiring changes in our thinking and in the decades-old cultural modus operandi associated with water systems. This course introduces the basic premises of rainwater harvesting and the “new” lifestyles and thought processes it encourages us to adopt.

The diploma option requires you to apply to the program and for credit study at the University of Victoria. Please call 250-721-8458 for information about applying for credit study.

Instructor: Ken Nentwig, BLA, MLA, CLIP, CLD. A retired landscape architect, Ken is an educator who has developed rainwater harvesting and management training for the Canadian Association for Rainwater Management (CANARM) as well as an online course with Gaia College. He is involved with the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (ARCSA) education program and consults with developers, builders, landscapers and rainwater practitioners in best practices for rainwater system installations.

whales, puffins and many other birds around Gull Island. We also plan to attend at least one performance of Opera on the Avalon. We depart St. John’s and travel northwest by coach to Clarenville, from where we visit the Bonavista Lighthouse and see a performance of the Rising Tide Theatre in Trinity.

Academic Resource: Christine Forster, Department of Hispanic and Italian Studies, UVic Date: May 9 to 25, 2016 Cuba is the largest, and least commercialized, island in the Caribbean. However, with increasing numbers of travellers from the United States, recent agreements between Barack Obama and Raúl Castro, and Fidel Castro’s failing health, this situation is rapidly changing.

During our 17-day tour around the island, from the cities to the tobacco fields and sugar cane plantations; from the beaches to the Sierra Maestra Mountains; we will study the history and politics; and explore the strong African influence on Cuban culture, particularly on religion and music. Though more than 40% of Cubans declare themselves Catholics, and supposedly only 2% are followers of Santería (Afro-Cuban religion), the fact is that religious syncretism is very common, even among Catholics.

the rise of the great city-states of Athens, Corinth and Sparta. We’ll become familiar with the true character of ancient Greece, when opposing forces often united under the common threat of an eastern empire—at one time, the Persians; at another, the Ottomans. We will learn about Greece’s Golden Age of culture, politics, art and philosophy, which fed an emerging civilization and influenced the Romans, Byzantines and Turks after them, until Greece’s ultimate independence in the 19th century.

With more than 200 original rhythms created on the island, including son, cha-cha-chá and guaguancó, Cuban musical tradition has long been of international renown. We will have the chance to enjoy musical performances of Cuban and Afro-Cuban rhythms during our stay.

Our itinerary includes the mainstays of all these mythologies, power struggles and cultural awakenings: the bustling city of Athens; the Peloponnese with its Mycenaean splendours of temples and palaces; the birthplace of the Olympic Games; religious sanctuaries, which provided venues for citizens to pay homage to their gods; medieval fortifications of magnificent engineering; the last capital of the Roman Empire; and finally, the idyllic island of Santorini and its fabled city of Akrotiri, destroyed by the gods, and ours to wonder at.

The beautiful colonial architecture is another highlight of our trip, particularly in the city of Havana, where we spend time at the beginning and the end of the tour. From Havana, we travel east by comfortable coach as far as Santiago, with stops along the way in Trinidad and Camagüey.
