New research on same-sex marriage
The Ring
The Supreme Court of the United States is set to hear arguments on April 28 in a landmark case on the constitutionality of state bans on same-sex marriage. One month ahead of the ruling, timely new research by UVic historian Dr. Rachel Hope Cleves is affording critical insights and historical context for the cresting debate on civil rights and full equality of marriage in the US, where same-sex marriage is already legal in nearly 40 states.

Special edition of Arbutus Review
The Ring
Check out the latest issue of UVic’s online peer-reviewed journal of outstanding undergraduate research papers, guest edited by UVic doctoral student and sessional instructor Adam Gaudry. This special issue is focused on Indigenous governance, with articles exploring the WSANEC Nation’s relationship with its traditional territories, how the Canadian Constitution hinders the development and restricts the scope of Indigenous rights, the different conceptions of place and citizenship within the Zapatista movement and those within Canadian multiculturalism, the ways in which Indigenous women are othered by the proceedings of the Missing Women’s Commission of Inquiry, the danger of recognizing Aboriginal rights through the lens of a Crown-Aboriginal fiduciary relationship, and contemporary Indigenous photographers’ use of humour to turn the colonial gaze back on itself. The Arbutus Review is produced with the support of UVic’s Learning and Teaching Centre. http://bit.ly/VAuNSy
