The Arts HISTORY IN ART John Singer Sargent and His World NEW

The great painter John Singer Sargent “knew everyone worth knowing” during his lifetime and he painted portraits of many of them. These portraits of the likes of Claude Monet, Auguste Rodin, Ellen Terry, Robert Louis Stevenson and a variety of political and society luminaries—the content of a recent spectacular exhibition in London and one currently at the Metropolitan Museum, NYC—are the inspiration for this course in which all other forms of Singer’s work will be examined as well. His relationships with his subjects, his influence and his legacy will be explored to invoke the glittering artistic, social and political worlds in which he moved.

Instructor: John Lucas, MA, BFA

Fee:

$109 plus $5.45 GST

A selection of important 20th and 21st century women artists, such as Ellen Neel, Freda Diesing and Susan Point will be studied. Each lecture will provide many examples of artwork from private as well as public collections.

Fee:

$109 plus $5.45 GST

From Ravenstail and Chilkat robes, button blankets, to hats and baskets for every reason, Northwest Coast women have always created in a wealth of indigenous materials. While historically women did not carve poles or masks, this changed profoundly in the 20th century so that now an examination of First Nations women artists includes carvers, printmakers, engravers, jewellers, textile designers and more.

In this course we will consider the art as first encountered by Spanish, British and American explorers and traders in the 18th century and trace the innovation and change as the period of contact came to the Northwest Coast.

Canadian Masterpiece Series: Frederick H. Varley (1881– 1969) NEW

At Berwick Royal Oak (For more courses at this location, see page 38) Frederick Varley 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. Varley became a leading portrait artist in addition to turning 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 Vancouver and Garibaldi Park.

The course is designed to include as many examples of his paintings as possible from the turn of the 20th century until 1965. In addition to his painting, Varley is renowned as a very gifted art educator who was highly influential in the development of British Columbia art and artists in the 20th century. His powerful and energetic years initiating and fostering the growth of the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts in Vancouver and also the BC College of Art will be examined in detail.

A Short History of Jazz

Irving Berlin and the Popular American Song NEW

When asked what Irving Berlin’s place in American popular song was, no less an authority than the great Jerome Kern replied, “Irving has no ‘place’ in American popular song; he IS American popular song”. The prolific Berlin wrote nearly 2,000 songs, a score of Broadway shows, and the music for Hollywood films, all of which contained some of the most beautiful and beloved melodies and lyrics of the 20th century, such as White Christmas. Annie Get Your Gun alone has eight songs that became huge hits and instant classics. This course will examine his life and music, his influence and his legacy. In addition to recordings and film clips, the course will feature live performances by singers and instrumentalists.

This course surveys some of the high spots and hidden corners of the 150 years of music we call baroque. What did 17th and 18th century listeners hear in this music that we easily miss today? How can we better appreciate the novelty, extraordinary physicality and emotional immediacy of Baroque music?

From Monteverdi to J. S. Bach, composers took certain conventions for granted that would have immediately signaled the music’s expressive terrain: they called it “establishing the affect.”

Recognizing those conventions is key to a deeper understanding of Baroque repertoire.

Instructor: Elissa Poole played historical flutes with the Tafelmusik Orchestra for many years and performed with numerous early music ensembles internationally and in Canada. For 20 years she also wrote concert reviews and articles on music for the Globe and Mail. Elissa Poole now teaches music history for the School of Music at UVic.

You are invited to take a short tour of jazz—to meet the people, explore the historical time line and listen to the music. Did you know that jazz began in the United States? Did you know that jazz musicians invented the drum set? Did you know that the words “cool” and “hip” are jazz terms? Join us in learning more about the history of jazz, from its birth in New Orleans to the music we hear today. Topics we will cover in the eight classes include: New Orleans and Ragtime; Birth of the Blues; Jazz and Americans in Paris; Swing Bands Storm Europe; Big Band Era and Modern Jazz; The Rise of Fusion Jazz; Importance of Recordings and the Internet; Jazz Legends to Modern Artists. Take part in this introduction to the history and developments of jazz, exploring its contributions to and reflection of culture to the present day.

Join us for a short voyage through the history of classical music—as an introduction to the major composers, their historical eras and their musical compositions—from Early Music to Modern compositions. What do we listen to in music? We navigate our understanding by building on recognition of the fundamental elements of music, notably melody, harmony, texture and orchestration. Then we explore how each composer develops these musical elements into innovative forms that at once reflect an individual “style and expression,” and yet also reflect the aesthetics of a particular historical era.

As such, we learn to discern the unique historical styles, and the “fingerprints” of major composers.

To this end, our multi-disciplinary class draws on several fun listening exercises, easy to follow compositional analysis, and expert commentary from our “tour guide” that encourages a more engaged listening experience.

Come with us in our exploration of the developments of classical music, and gain an understanding of its contributions to and reflection of culture and society.

No previous musical knowledge necessary.

This course is designed to help develop your listening skills and aesthetic appreciation of classical music in preparation for the Victoria Symphony’s 2016 season. Each session corresponds with a different program from the Symphony’s Signature and Legacy series, including such beloved masterworks as Chopin’s Piano Concerto no. 1, as well as more adventurous music including Brahms’ Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. Through guided listening and class discussion, you will learn how to listen to the form, instrumentation and style in the selected works. By learning what to listen for, your enjoyment during concerts will increase significantly. Guest symphony musicians will be invited to share their expertise and offer personal insights into the works we are studying. All levels of listeners, from beginners to veteran music enthusiasts, are encouraged to attend.

Go beyond Pacific Opera Victoria’s season and explore one of the Metropolitan Opera’s 2016 high definition broadcasts. This course includes the same two lectures as Saturday Mornings at the Opera (see above) plus one operatic masterpiece offered in high definition at Cineplex theatres in Victoria. We begin in January with Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers, transporting 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.

Saturday Mornings at the Opera If you missed the first session of this course in the fall, but would like to join this term’s classes, you are in luck! Limited space is still available in the remaining sessions, which focus on two of the season’s Pacific Opera Victoria productions.

In each class we will discuss the story of each opera, compare great singers past and present in their roles, and discover how each opera was transformed from the composer’s first inspiration into a finished stage spectacle. In February, we’ll be entertained with the escapades of a resourceful barber and a lovesick nobleman in Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. Our season concludes in April with misplaced magic and a quartet of confused lovers in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This course is suitable for opera enthusiasts of all levels and those just beginning their love affair with opera.

Re-Imagining Classicism

Proponents of the finest that music has to offer idolize the idea of classicism. From classical music to the Classical Period, Neo-classicism to recovery of styles from the golden age, the perfection and balance of a true classic holds incredible power for us. Again and again, musicians turn to the past and re-imagine a strong cultural and ideological heritage in new, clear forms.

In this class we will explore some of the masterpieces of classicism in music, and through them, will follow the journey of classical thought re-imagined in crystalline sound and balanced forms. No prior experience in music is required.

Verdi: Life, Operas and the Italian Reunification Giuseppe Verdi dominated the world of Italian opera in the 19th century. He changed the direction of Italian opera from its past emphasis of merely expressing the beauty of the voice to a deeper expression of human drama and the portrayal of dramatic truth. Verdi’s characters displayed a passion for truth and justice—a force that became synonymous with the Italian Risorgimento (uprising) and was ultimately behind the reunification of the country that he truly loved. In this course, we will explore eight of Verdi’s masterpieces: Macbeth, Rigoletto, Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Un Ballo in Maschera, Don Carlo, Aida, and Otello. Through this journey, we will weave the social and the political patterns as well as Verdi’s own personal tragedies and triumphs that shaped his operas. Musical excerpts of some of the best audio and video recordings will also be included in the course. No

The goal is to help you make both increasingly intuitive and less overtly conscious choices.

We will also examine why outsiders often recognize and document their new environment more effectively than their homebred counterparts. Are we lulled into complacency by the “normalness” of our day-to-day surroundings? How do we as photographers attune our senses as well as make the crucial differentiation between normal and mundane?

The key learning objective is to see your surroundings in a new light, and in doing so, you may also realize potential projects in your midst.

WRITING AND LITERATURE NEW Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Joyous Celebration, Superficial Escapism, or Cynical Attack on Romantic Comedy?

Actors, teachers and critics of the Dream long have focused on its superb language, the fairies and the immediately appealing bumbling clown, Bottom. Recently, many critics and directors have been dissatisfied by the superficiality of its young lovers and the absence of convincing threats to them, extreme even for Shakespeare’s romantic comedies. This has led these critics to promote earnestly its serious ideas and its potential for cruel negative attitudes toward love and sex that could not have ended happily without implausible magic portions and supernatural aid.

This session will emphasize exceptionally vivid scenes and speeches that have been performed in such different ways on stage and in movies.

By attending to timing and tone, we will try to suggest how contexts can absorb and build upon the insights of such analyses. Otherwise, their overly literal treatment of negative implications will distort the essential spirit of the play.

This session comes one week before Pacific Opera Victoria’s production of Benjamin Britten’s opera, which uses more of Shakespeare’s lines than does any other opera based upon one of his works. We will not consider Britten in any detail, but refreshing our memories of the play should help us respond to the excitement created by this example of how new interpretations in music, art, and fiction—not to mention stage performances and our own reading—can lead audiences to imagine in fresh ways a play strikingly different from any other.

Writing for Children: Advanced

How did a 13th century poet—writing in Farsi, the language of Persia—become the best-selling poet of the present day? Rumi was one of several luminaries of a golden age of Persian literature. Along with near contemporaries Hafiz, Khayyam, Attar and Sa’adi, all were steeped in Sufi philosophy, which lends a timeless relevance and meaning to their work. The Sufi approach of direct experience and universal wisdom often led to persecution by the ruling clergy, so Sufis turned to poetry to pass on their knowledge, hiding meaning in symbol and metaphor. The class will explore the mystical poetry of these poets (in various English translations) delving into Jelaluddin Rumi’s Mathnawi, Hafiz’s Divan, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Fariddudin Attar’s Conference of the Birds and The Rose Garden of Sa’adi, in relation to Sufi thought and practice.

Instructor: Carol Ann Sokoloff is a poet, author, editor and writing instructor. She has published four books including New Sufi Songs and Dances, drawn from her extensive study of the subject.

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 you see your life… prepare to be surprised!

Presented in a lively, frank, hands-on and often humorous way, this workshop is about recognising unconscious patterns—and how we all have the potential to be the architects of our own happiness. There is no need to share anything personal nor is this a group therapy session. In fact, the mood of the workshop will be upbeat, inspiring and will offer you an “aha!” moment or two!

Living Consciously: The Practice of Mindfulness Have you noticed life seems a little out of control lately? Are your body and mind constantly busy? Eastern philosophy teaches us that when we pay attention to what is happening in the present moment, we develop an ability to make more conscious and healthy choices in our lives.

This highly experiential course facilitates this innate capacity for living more mindfully and draws upon the work of Jon Kabat Zinn and his mindfulness-based stress reduction program.

as our own. Through film screenings, readings and group discussions, we will explore these central questions: How is the journey through later life depicted in modern films? What are the implications of these depictions for modern society? How do these portrayals relate to the scientific data available on aging and development? Do these films reflect what we have learned and are learning about the aging process from those who have embarked on this later life journey? Do they ring true to our own experiences? We will watch four feature films: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Savages, Still Mine, and Beginners.

Reincarnation: Why Buddhists Believe in Past and Future Lives NEW

Many people believe that when the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of the mind ceases and becomes non-existent, like a flame going out when all the wax has been burned. Buddha taught that our mind and body are separate entities, and so even though the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of the mind remains unbroken.Instead of ceasing, the mind simply leaves the present body and goes to the next life. In this class we will reflect on the nature of the mind to gain a deep understanding of the existence of our future lives. This will motivate us to prepare for the happiness of our future lives, or try to attain permanent liberation from suffering by abandoning our delusions.

We travel from Athens to the west coast of Turkey and off-shore Greek islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos and Kos—dabbling in the Turkish villages and sites along the way—before heading for Rhodes, Crete and finally Santorini.

This visual journey takes us through ancient Minoan and Mycenaean cultures, remnants of cataclysmic volcanic eruptions, unique Greek and Turkish villages, and a meeting of peoples, food, music and traditions that span millennia.

Instructor: Chris Mundigler, ACA, BA, is a local archaeologist, ethno-historian and professional photographer.

In this course you will learn about high-level neural processes such as learning, decisionmaking, emotion, love, and even why we sometimes are “evil”. This course is grounded in the latest neuroscience research so you can learn how complex behaviours stem from the firing of neurons within the brain. We will discuss rare neural dysfunctions such as the Capgras Delusion and Anosognosia and you will get a chance to observe a functional neuroimaging laboratory and take part in a neuroimaging experiment.

We will also look at research methodologies and current issues in neuroscience. Although this course builds on material in An Introduction to Neuroscience last offered in fall 2015, it is not necessary to have any previous experience to enjoy this course.

British India: Its Rise and Fall, 1700-1947 NEW

When the British entered India, under the guise of a trading company, they were but one of a number of entities vying for a secure position in the tumultuous geo-politics of the region. By 1900, through a mixture of opportunism and economic and military power, they controlled the vast, populous and polyglot land. India was indeed the “jewel in the crown” of the worldwide British Empire. Yet, within a half-century after this, they were gone, leaving in their wake the two successor states of India and Pakistan.

Through readings and class discussions this course will trace the trajectory of British India.

You will learn about the following topics: the development of British imperial ideology; Indian collaboration with, and reaction to, the British; the Uprising of 1857; the British impact on the Indian people; the rise of Indian nationalisms; and communalism and partition.

In this course you will learn about the law of karma, a special instance of the law of cause and effect, according to which all our actions are causes and all our experiences are their effects.

The law of karma explains why each individual has a unique mental disposition, a unique physical appearance, and unique experiences.

Suffering is created by our own actions or karma, it is not given to us as a punishment. We suffer because we have created many non-virtuous actions in our previous lives. The source of these non-virtuous actions are our own delusions, such as anger, attachment and self-grasping.

Once we have purified our mind of delusions, all our actions will naturally be pure. As a result of our pure actions or pure karma, everything we experience will be pure.

An Evening on an Archaeological Dig

NEW Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Research Statistics

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.

Have you ever wondered how researchers decide that something is better than something else? Or perhaps, how they decided that a medical treatment does or does not work? In this workshop, your instructor will take you through the basic principles of research statistics explaining how researchers quantify data and make decisions about what the data means.

Your instructor will also debunk a few myths and provide you with the knowledge that you need as a consumer, to analyze what companies are telling you about their products. Please note that this is not a course on how to do statistics, but rather, a workshop that will improve your understanding of statistics.

Destination: Southern Spain When we think of European culture, few of us are likely to consider the Moors, a rich Muslim culture that populated Spain for nearly 700 years.

Yet, this Moorish civilization enlightened Europe with its art, science, commerce and architecture, brought the continent out of its dark ages and ushered in a New Age—the Renaissance.

Al-Andalus, in the southern region of Spain, is rich with the remains of this Moorish civilization.

Much of what we consider European culture can be traced back to the Moors in this region of huge libraries and intellectual centres, bastions and palaces, and sacred and secular mystique.

This fascinating visual tour takes us from Madrid through Al-Andalus, and includes the capital of Cordoba, the amazing architecture of Granada and Alhambra, the unrivalled Costa del Sol, and the beauty of Seville.

Jordan: Land of the RoseRed City

The Road Less Travelled: My Journeys in the Andes

Jordan is a small, landlocked, desert kingdom that is host to some of the oldest peoples in the world, from the ancient Israelites, to Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Arabs and Turks. Yet the modern state of Jordan is a relatively recent invention. In this session we’ll undertake a visual odyssey through this ancient land, exploring its diverse geography and its colourful history, as well as some of the more recent challenges arising from its unique position at the crossroads of ancient custom and modern development.

While most associate the Peruvian Andes with Machu Picchu, some of the world’s best and most remote trekking occurs a bit further north in the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash.

The Cordillera Huayhuash is the home of Siula Grande, one of the hardest mountains to climb in the world and the setting for the story Touching the Void. In this talk, Dr. Krigolson will take you on a journey through his recent trekking and climbing experiences in the Peruvian Andes. This is a voyage of summits, high mountain passes, and some of the best back country trekking in the world as ranked by National Geographic magazine. Dr. Krigolson will also touch on his experiences in Lima, a city with a population that equals one third of Canada, and give you a quick glimpse of Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail.

The Four Noble Truths: Buddhist Solutions for our Human Problems NEW

In this course you will learn about the first teaching Buddha gave: the Sutra of the Four Noble Truths in which he explained the actual path to liberation from suffering. We need this wisdom to solve our human problems. At present we do not clearly distinguish between objects to be abandoned and objects to be attained.

As a result we remain under the control of our delusions and continue to create causes for our suffering. Liberation is a permanent inner peace attained through the complete abandonment of delusions. When through training in the paths to liberation our mind is completely released from delusions, we attain true freedom or nirvana.

Instructor: Gen Kelsang Zopa is a Buddhist monk who has studied Kadampa Buddhism for more than 20 years. He has taught extensively throughout Canada and is currently the Resident Teacher at the Bodhichitta Buddhist Centre in Victoria.

Dates:

Saturdays, April 2 to 23

This six-part series will examine topics of forensic anthropology, and teach you how to create an individual profile for unidentified human skeletal remains in a medico-legal context. Each lecture will be followed by a hands-on lab exercise in which we will explore what happens to bodies when they decay in various environments, how to personally identify the deceased (including sex, age, stature), causes of death from trauma or pathology, and processing of outdoor crime scenes. This may involve the handling of human remains. One session will take place outside (rain or shine on the UVic campus) and will involve crouching, as well as hands and knees searching.

Appropriate outdoor attire is required. You will receive more information at the first lecture.

Instructor: Stephanie Calce is a skeletal biologist and PhD Candidate at the University of Victoria, specializing in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology.

The Complex Conundrums of Interventionism in Today’s Middle East In light of pivotal historical influences like the World War I-initiated, European colonial “SykesPicot borders” now being dissolved by the Islamic State (IS), this talk will consider the significances conveyed by the complex arrangement of interventionist powers and interests impinging on the Middle East today. Situating the discussion primarily within Syria and Iraq—but

continuingstudies.ca • 250-472-4747 continuingstudies.ca • 250-472-4694

also mentioning Libya, Yemen, and Bahrain—we will address several categories of intervening actor, along with varying rationales for, modalities of, and fallouts from intervention.

Attention will be paid to Western countries such as Canada and the United States, and an international body like NATO, emphasizing critiques of the humanitarian motivations that they have claimed for their interventions. We will analyze the ambitions and calculations of non-Western states from outside the region (e.g., Russia), and, above all, within the region (e.g., Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Turkey); and, far from least, interventionist non-state actors like Hezbollah, and the ambiguously named IS, itself.

NEW Contemporary India since 1947

India is one of the world oldest civilizations, but as a sovereign state it is fairly young. Only at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, in the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, did India begin its “tryst with destiny”, awaking to “life and freedom” from foreign rule. In this course, we will examine the extent to which India’s independent history has met Nehru’s hopes and dreams.

Through readings and discussions, you will learn about such topics as: the Indian constitution, the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, the nature of Indian democracy, linguistic nationalism and separatism, poverty and economic development, alternate modes of governance and Bollywood.

We will look at the challenges India faces, and the extent of the Indian success in meeting them.

of Celtic monasteries is very different from monasteries inspired by Roman buildings.

The new Christians didn’t always behave in brotherly ways. In the eighth century, battles between hundreds of monks were recorded. The church reacted with the production of more gospel books, psalters and high crosses to better teach the precepts of Christianity. The ascetic order known as the Culdees was established to set an example to the more worldly among the clerics.

You will also learn the extent to which the paganism of the Celts survived conversion to Christianity and even influenced it, and you will hear about how the church dealt with the Vikings.

Instructor: Sharron Gunn: While living in Europe for almost a decade, Sharron Gunn studied the folklore and history of Great Britain and France.

She has an honours degree in Scottish History and Celtic Studies from the University of Glasgow.

Morocco has intrigued the adventurous, as well as the armchair traveller for centuries, with its exotic blend of Berber, Roman, Islamic and Moorish flavours. Whether you’re inspired by accounts of the 14th century Arab traveller Ibn Battuta, the final scene with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman on the tarmac in 1942’s Casablanca or you’ve just longed to ride Crosby, Stills and Nash’s Marrakech Express since 1969, Morocco offers something for everyone. We will visit the markets, minarets, mountains and medieval majesty that are timeless Morocco.

From Fez to Marrakech, Casablanca to Tangier, and into the Sahara Desert, we’ll visit the souks, we’ll wander the medinas, and get a taste of this exotic land that is a stone’s throw from Europe, but in many ways is more similar to countries in the Middle East.

“Deeply shocked and saddened to hear about the sale of the property”: Reading Japanese NEW

Canadian Letters of Protest to the Forced Sale of their Property, WWII

In this session we will journey to the western— or Aegean—coast of Turkey, which boasts some of the most spectacular and exotic natural and cultural wonders in the world. From the Crusader stronghold of Bodrum in the south to the Bronze Age stronghold of Troy in the north, there are an amazing concentration of sites and sights unlike anywhere else. From there, we’ll explore Istanbul, the only capital in the world that spans two continents: Europe and Asia. A city with Islamic architecture and a European flavour, Istanbul is one of the most vibrant, historic and romantic cities in the world.

Mrs. Toshiye Hoshiko wrote the Custodian of Enemy property—the body of federal government responsible for the sale of her home and belongings—on October 22, 1944 from Montreal, where she found refuge after her uprooting. “I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear about the sale of the property,” she wrote.

“It was my home for over twenty years. It was the work and hard work of two decades toiling.

It was where my children were born and raised.

And now you tell me that the property was sold?”

Hoshiko was one of more than 200 Japanese Canadians who responded in written protest when the federal government informed them that, despite prior assurances to the contrary, all of their property had been sold without their consent. In this talk, Dr. Stanger-Ross will draw upon recent theorizations of value, to explore economic, temporal, experiential and relational expressions of ownership and belonging in the letters of Japanese Canadians to the federal state. The sales came as a shock to owners and prompted them to articulate powerful and sophisticated claims to their possessions, homes and lands. The protests of Japanese Canadians illustrate the profound impacts of these policies, reveal the complex relations among ownership, citizenship and belonging, and belie any notion that Japanese Canadians accepted the policies without voicing forceful dissent.

The War in Ukraine

In 2014 a pro-Western, popular revolution in Ukraine caused an aggressive response from Putin’s Russia, which annexed the Crimean Peninsula and sponsored a military conflict in the Donbas, an industrial region near the Russian border. The war in the Donbas became Europe’s first armed conflict of the new millennium, which included tank battles, massive dislocation of civilians and the shooting down of a foreign passenger airliner. It also became an example of a modern hybrid war and Russia’s proxy war against the West, which is reminiscent of Cold War-era conflicts. Understanding the nature of this war and the internationally-mediated peace process is crucial to making sense of other contemporary conflicts, including Russia’s involvement in Syria.

THE BERWICK ROYAL OAK SESSIONS

MEDIEVAL STUDIES The 29th Annual Medieval Workshop: Al-Andalus: Jews, Christians and Muslims in Medieval Spain Al-Andalus, also known as Muslim Spain or Islamic Iberia, was a medieval Muslim cultural domain and territory occupying at its greatest geographical extent, in the eighth century, southern France and the Iberian Peninsula.

Between 711 and 1492, this region of Europe was exceptional for its mix of cultures and religions: often cited as an example of toleration and dialogue, always evoked for the richness of its scientific and artistic legacies, Al-Andalus conjures images of beautiful gardens and palaces (the Alhambra), of ambitious scholarly translations, of scientific progress, of vibrant music and dance, and of sophisticated

From there, we’ll head south to intriguing Biblical wonders in Tarsus, ancient architecture, trade route caravanserai and a salvage excavation to save some of the most significant mosaics in the Roman world on our way to the Syrian border town of Harran, steeped in Biblical as well as Arab history.

An Afternoon on an Archaeological Dig

Chronicling the Stories of Your Life

At Berwick Royal Oak

“Telling your stories is like collecting little gems to give to the next generation.” – Leah Abrahams

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-yearold 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.

CANADIAN STUDIES

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.

What’s New in Education?

The Importance of Philosophical Study for Teacher Candidates

Time:

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 cultural backgrounds and passion for learning to undergraduate courses at the University of Victoria.

This life-changing diploma program, offered in partnership with the University of Victoria Faculty of Humanities, is available to students who have life experience and an interest in studying some area or areas of the humanities.

There are no formal educational prerequisites.

The first course is for HDP students only and provides an introduction to university study.

A diploma is awarded upon completion of 18 units of undergraduate offerings (12 courses).

The mandate of the program is to make knowledge more accessible to people who have faced significant barriers to education.

SAGE Stimulate,

Advance and Guide Education

SAGE Study Groups are an exciting learning alternative!

Would you like to exchange ideas and pursue some of your favourite subjects with a small group of other interested people? Sage Study Groups are not taught by instructors; instead, a facilitator assists in coordinating the presentations of group members and in moderating the discussions.

An important aspect of these groups is their small size (maximum 15 participants).

Members quickly get to know each other, and learning takes place in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

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

Study groups happen through your initiative. No experience necessary, we provide the training. 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.

French Language Conversation Classes (FLCC): New Format!

The emphasis of the French Conversation Classes is to learn to speak and understand French in a relaxed atmosphere among friends.

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 new format allows students to self-select the appropriate course 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 prenovice level, which is an introductory class that you normally take once, and only if you are a complete beginner.

There is no rush to get to the next level: you decide when you are ready to move up. The main themes will vary from one session to the next, based on the interests and needs of each class. These can-do statements will help you 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.

Register for the Conversant level if…

You already know how to: Speak on the phone, 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.

We have restructured this program to better meet the needs of our student population, offering three 10-week sessions per year. The classes represent a small time commitment— just one two-hour class per week for 10

weeks—and there is no required textbook and no exams. You’ll also have access to the many language resources available at UVic, including the digital language labs and the library.

Early Spring and Late Spring 2016 terms run from mid-January to April and from mid-April to mid-June.

Fee: $229 per term (10 weeks)

French Language Diploma Program (FLDP) 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. Please note you cannot start as a total beginner in January in this program: you normally enter a course in September, but you can also join at midpoint in January if your level of proficiency is sufficient. This program features required textbooks and one exam per session.

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, Levels 3 to 5 consist of a three-hour class once per week.

Level 5 can be entered only in September, as it must have been taken in its entirety for the Diploma to be awarded.

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.

Fee: $509 per term (Levels 1 and 2) or $419 per term (Levels 3 to 5 and FLAC600)

La Maison Française July 4 to Aug. 5 La Maison Française is a five-week French Immersion program popular with young adults (most participants are between the ages of 19 and 25) at all levels of proficiency, from beginner to advanced. Experienced instructors and dynamic cultural assistants will provide you with a friendly yet instructive French atmosphere.

In a setting of diverse learning environments including in-class lessons, language labs, workshops, mealtime conversations and cultural and social activities, you will quickly learn to speak and think in French.

We offer a residential option including accommodation in campus residences and meals each day, but whatever option you choose, you will enjoy the many activities built into this cultural experience that has been a regular feature here since 1965.

continuingstudies.ca • 250-472-4747

Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a certificate. Although this is a non-credit program, some institutions may elect to grant credit to their students who have completed La Maison Française at UVic. If you are at least 19 years of age (no upper age limit!) and are motivated to learn French this summer, this intensive program is for you!

Fees vary depending on whether you are a Canadian/permanent resident, international student, Explore bursary recipient or BC Teacher Bursary recipient, and whether or not you are choosing the residential package.

Summer Fun En Français!

French Language Day Camps for Children For the 19th year, we are pleased to offer a series of one-week day camps in French for children who have completed at least kindergarten and at most grade four in French Immersion or in a Francophone school.

Participants will have the opportunity to use their French over the summer in a meaningful context through a variation of fun campstyle activities including outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and so on. They will have the opportunity each week to use such facilities as UVic’s swimming pool, astronomy lab, print shop, etc. to help the children discover the many components of a modern university.

Sessions will take place the weeks of July 11, 18 and 25.

Fee: $264 per session (or register for all three weeks for $742 and save $50) How do I get more information?

Contact us by phone or email if you have questions about any of our French Programs. 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 multi-lingual French program staff, we will be happy to hear from you.

From Tuning Forks to Rainbows: the Science of Sound, Light and Colour NEW

Leave your physics phobia at the door as you participate in these engaging presentations on sound, light and colour. These sessions are designed to stimulate your thought processes and promote understanding of the scientific laws that govern our everyday lives: How does a police radar gun work? What is black light? Is it possible to make coloured shadows? This course explores concepts rather than equations, and therefore no scientific background or experience is necessary. You will see the world with fresh eyes and gain a new understanding of how it all works.

Instructor: Peter Hopkinson taught introductory physics to adults for many years at Vancouver Community College. His emphasis is on promoting understanding of the underlying concepts in science, rather than the traditional formula-driven computational approach to scientific subjects. He is a regular presenter at conferences for teachers, and has recently been teaching physics courses in the Continuing Education Program at Simon Fraser University.

Our Changing Ocean Humans are intimately connected to the global ocean: we rely on it for food, energy, transportation, jobs, recreation and even oxygen. Despite covering over 70% of the planet, providing a home to two million of Earth’s species and containing some of the world’s tallest mountains and deepest valleys, the ocean is largely unexplored and holds many secrets to fully understanding our planet.

Increasing human population and world economic activity have resulted in accelerated exploitation of Earth’s resources and direct and indirect impacts to the global ocean. Additionally, as population densities in coastal areas increase, so too does the need to better understand and respond to ocean-related natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

Linking elements of chemistry, physics, biology and geology, these sessions will look at a number of ocean issues of societal concern and how technology is allowing us to better understand our changing ocean. Each session will include a 1.5-hour lecture followed by 30 minutes of discussion and conversation.

In spring, the world is alive—the meadow of sea blush and camas; the mink, otter, hummingbirds, eagles and blue herons pursuing their springtime agendas; the forests fresh and green; the sea alive with birds and sea life. Join us for some leisurely days of learning, explorations and delicious meals at storied Yellow Point Lodge. Presenters may include biologists Marc Bell, David Denning, Darren and Claudia Copley, and pianist Bruce Vogt. There will be some early morning birding, and in the evenings we’ll call owls, stargaze, enjoy a sing-along and watch computer and microscope videos of the day’s samplings of nature. We’ll also make an inspiring visit to Wildwood, the late Merve Wilkinson’s selective forestry acreage.

Social Justice Studies SOCIAL JUSTICE STUDIES DIPLOMA PROGRAM The Diploma in Social Justice Studies provides you with a thorough understanding of the range of ways in which scholars, researchers and activists address and engage with issues surrounding social injustices and initiatives promoting social justice in the contemporary world.

In the past several decades, popular and scholarly concerns about the causes of social injustice and the most effective and appropriate means of pursuing social justice have intensified, as visible signs of inequity have proliferated in some areas (e.g., homelessness, the growing gap between rich and poor, ethnic strife, North-South inequalities) and eased in

others (e.g., greater educational opportunities for women). This program will provide you with a strong foundation for understanding and researching social justice issues from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

This interdisciplinary program draws on a wide range of undergraduate credit courses. The program consists of three core courses (4.5 units), six interdisciplinary elective courses (9 units), and a practicum (1.5 units) or further elective course in lieu of practicum).

There is a one-time program admission fee of $150. Diploma students pay regular UVic undergraduate tuition and fees for program courses (international fees apply).

SUSTAINABILITY AND ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION

URBAN RESTORATION WALKS Street Trees of Victoria Street trees are an interesting mix of native and introduced species. Some are remnants of original forests, others are veterans planted by past generations. Many have been chosen for the beauty their blossoms add to the city. This walk will cover part of Beacon Hill Park and the area between Simcoe and Beacon Streets up to Irving Park. There are over 40 tree species growing on the boulevards and in the yards of these few blocks, including Giant Sequioas, English Hawthorns, Serbian Spruces and Black and Scotch pines. During the walk we’ll discuss the ecology of some of these species and enjoy several interesting anecdotes.

Instructor: Val Schaefer, faculty member in UVic’s School of Environmental Studies and Academic Administrator of the Restoration of Natural Systems and Ecological Restoration programs, will lead these walks.

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

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.

TRAVEL STUDY 67

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. With more than 200 original rhythms created on the island, including son, cha-chachá 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. 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 to Santiago, with stops along the way in Trinidad and Camagüey. On our way back to Havana we enjoy two days at a beach resort in beautiful Cayo Coco and a stop in Santa Clara to visit the famous Che Guevara Mausoleum.

On our return visit to Havana we have a day excursion west to view the scenic wonders of Valle de Viñales, a World Heritage Site.

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.

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.

Island. We also plan to attend a 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. Continuing north, our next stop is Twillingate, where we’ll get up-close and personal with giant icebergs. From Twillingate we head west to Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here we visit the Tablelands and enjoy a short hike followed by a boat journey through a billion years of geological history. We’ll also attend a Gros Morne Theatre Festival production in Cow Head.

We fly out of nearby Deer Lake on the first leg of our journey home.

Don’t miss this opportunity to visit The Rock— and to take the famous screech challenge!

We begin our 11-day tour in the provincial capital, St. John’s, where we’ll visit Signal Hill, art studios, The Rooms museum and art gallery, the charming fishing village of Quidi Vidi and take a boat trip on Witless Bay to see whales, puffins and many other birds around Gull

At the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland—the oldest such festival in North America, founded in 1935—we will attend five plays in four days, either at the outdoor Elizabethan replica theatre or at one of the two indoor theatres. Ashland, a small, pretty town with interesting shops, good restaurants, pleasantly warm weather, and cutting-edge productions of American and European classics is an ideal, relaxed venue for a festival experience.
