Moving trans* history forward
The Ring
At 320 linear feet, or 98 metres, of archival materials, books, and periodicals—representing 17 countries and spanning over a century of activism and research—The Transgender
Archives at UVic are the largest in the world. From March 21 to 23, the Transgender Archives will host Moving Trans* History Forward, a three-day symposium of keynote speakers, panel
discussions, film screenings and art exhibitions devoted to the acquisition, preservation, and access of trans* history and archival materials.
McDougall CD nominated for Juno
The Ring
School of Music Professor Emeritus Ian McDougall’s Fine Arts benefit CD, The Very Thought of You, has been nominated for a 2013 Juno Award for Instrumental Album of the Year. It
was produced by McDougall’s wife, Barbara, and features a selection of jazz standards with strings. The album’s nomination came as a surprise to them both. “Barb and I are overjoyed about the
news,” says McDougall, who recently presented the Faculty of Fine Arts with a cheque for $16,000 raised through CD sales—the first significant payment to his Ten Mile Fine Arts Student
Assistance Fund. The Juno winners are announced on April 21, and the CD is available on campus at the Bookstore, Arts Place Cafe, the School of Music, Phoenix Theatre and the Fine Arts
office.
