Voices
Farquhar set to amplify Indigenous voices
The Ring
The University of Victoria and the Farquhar at UVic have launched Voices in Circle: Amplifying Indigenous Cultural Voices, a presenting and engagement series featuring established and emerging Indigenous artists, guided by an Indigenous Programming Circle.
Donor impact: amplifying Indigenous voices
UVic law alumnus Drew Mildon and his wife Dr. Athena Madan share a commitment to “creating, making and holding space for Indigenous voices.” Mildon's law firm, Woodward & Co., provides a scholarship for undergraduate students entering or continuing in the JD/JID program or to Indigenous students enrolling in the JD program. The firm also contributes annual funding for the Indigenous Perspectives camp, which gives UVic law students the opportunity to engage with Indigenous cultures, communities, history, and perspectives on law and legal orders.
Power through punctuation
UVic Libraries’ open-access journal, KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies, publishes a special issue that reflects the plurality of Indigenous Knowledges, outside the traditional norms of scholarly publishing.
Drawing youth voices into community activism
The Ring
Professional muralist, activist, and soon-to-be secondary school teacher Kay Gallivan is graduating from UVic this Fall ready to bring more public art into the school system.
on the Verge
The "on the Verge" writing contest showcases and celebrates emerging UVic student voices. The 2017-2018 theme was HOME. Rachel Lallouz, Kate Fry, Nicholas Guerreiro and Chris Tse all took home first place prizes of $250.
Indigenous place names
The Ring
Long before settler culture attached the names of explorers, businessmen and political leaders to the mountains, rivers and landscape we now call Vancouver Island, the traditional names used by First Nations carried a wealth of information about those places—information that anthropology student Amy Becker has been working to preserve. Becker, recipient of a 2013-14 Jamie Cassels Undergrad Research Award (JCURA), explains “Indigenous place names are embedded in the culture, landscape, language and identities of the people who use them.”
See-and hear-what goes on beneath the sea
Media release
