Eric DeChaine’s research focuses on how fluctuations in Quaternary climate have impacted the distribution and diversity of the Arctic-alpine flora and fauna, and on how populations track suitable habitat across the shifting landscape and/or adapt to environmental changes. He and his students are using molecular methods to 1) test biogeographic hypotheses, speciation models and ecological niche models in various species of plants and animals; and 2) compare DNA from modern populations with ancient DNA preserved in permafrost middens to estimate responses to climate change.

University of Victoria Philosophy Colloquium
“Justification is Potential Knowledge”
Prof. Jonathan Ichikawa
Assistant Professor
U.B.C.
Abstract
I defend a novel theory of epistemic justification, which I characterize as the identification of justification with "potential knowledge," in a sense to be articulated. Because the theory elucidates justification with reference to knowledge, it is an instance of the Williamsonian "Knowledge First" program; I highlight and clarify some features of that program in generality.

The second in a series of exhibitions and publications exploring the relationships, personalities and projects contributing to the development of a regional modernist aesthetic in the post-war Victoria urban landscape, this exhibition develops themes of the earlier exhibition Town and Gown: Centennial Square and the the Gordon Head Campus: Seminal Projects (1962–1972) March 10–May 2, 2011.
During this period a small number of legacy architectural firms changed Victoria's built environment with forward-looking planning and bold new architectural forms. Drawing on plans, drawings, photographs and architectural models from the period, this exhibit explores a number of planning initiatives, design projects and building programs that defined this important phase in the development of the Capital Region.
Photo is Bay Parkade Entry 1960 by Hubert Norbury.
The Legacy Art Gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Boxed In: Searching for the Public Good in the Retail Landscape
Lecture by Pam Shaw, Vancouver Island University
The retail landscape has changed significantly since the mid 20th century, evolving from a city centre focus through strip malls, shopping centres, shopping malls, mega-malls, big box stores, and to the newest forms of retailing – the lifestyle commercial centres and mixed use developments. One constant through this evolution has been municipal government fixation on more and ever larger developments, with the public good defined as economic good. This discussion looks the meaning of the public good in urban environments through a land use planning lens and examines if the current retail landscape is representative of the public good.
