| Conference | Visualizing Antiquity | 2012-03-16 | All Day |
| Description
|
For more than 1,500 years, the civilizations of Classical Greece and Rome have inspired scholars, artists and activists from all disciplines and walks of life. Greco-Roman culture has many heirs and interpreters, not only in Western European culture, but in the Islamic world and Central and East Asia. Today, popular interest in Classical myth, drama, and history continues to grow, not just in the West, but in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and South America. "Visualizing Antiquity" will explore the ways in which scholars and artists, past and present, have constructed their visions of the ancient world.

“Think ‘Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,’ but then think fun.” –Philadelphia Inquirer

“Snappy, nasty, deftly acted and perhaps the fastest paced film ever directed by a 78-year-old.” –The Hollywood Reporter

| Description

Environmental Geopolitics in the 21st Century
Lecture by Simon Dalby, Carleton University
For the past quarter of a century, environmental security has been on both the academic and policy agendas. Lack of clarity concerning which danger to what societies mattered most marked the discussion. Critical voices have long warned that simplistic assumptions of environmental change leading directly to conflict are misleading at best, and dangerous at worst. Violence is often related to resource abundance rather than to scarcitiies, so great care has had to be taken in linking environmental change to conflict and subsequently devising useful policy responses in particular places.
In the last few years, climate change has added a growing urgency to discussions of environmental security, and increasingly refocused matters in terms of "climate security." This has complicated both the academic and policy pictures very considerably. While some of the lessons of the earlier discussion have continued relevance, and in particular in response to extreme events, climate security themes have to engage directly with global environmental change, and with earth systems science in particular. Doing so requires a shift in focus from some of the early formulations of environmental security.
Now it seems that climate security in the long run is not a matter of environmental change causing political difficulties, but rather a matter of contemporary political difficulties causing accelerating climate change. This has major implications for how we understand global security, and the role of the military in particular, in these new circumstances. But the urgency of dealing with climate change means that these matters need much further careful attention from both academic and security analysts.

| Exhibit | Divergence: Insights into Studio Practices | 2012-03-16 | 10:00:00 |
| Description
|
From the studios of 19 University of Victoria art education instructors in the Faculty of Education comes a rich and diverse exhibition of images and objects that range through traditional and newer media. Working independently in their studios, these artist/educators collaborate and exchange ideas on a daily basis while working with students, engaging them in creative problem solving, and assisting in the preparation of work for exhibitions.
What they hold in common is a commitment to both the classroom and the studio as sites of research and dissemination. Teaching informs studio practice and studio informs teaching practice in the daily ebb and flow of professional life. This exhibition invites visitors to experience that dynamic interaction.

| Lecture/Seminar | Kant's 'I' in "I ought to" and Freud's Super-Ego | 2012-03-16 | 14:30:00 |
| Description
|
University of Victoria Philosophy Colloquium
Professor Beatrice Longuenesse
New York University
There are striking structural similarities between Freud’s “ego” and Kant’s “transcendental unity of apperception,” which for Kant grounds our use of “I” in “I think.” There are also striking similarities between Freud’s “superego” and Kant’s account of the mental structure that grounds our use of “I” in the moral “I ought to.” The paper explores the latter on three main points: the conflict of motivations internal to the mind, the relation between discursive and pre-discursive representation of moral motivation, the unconscious character of moral motivation. The suggestion is that Freud offers resources for a naturalized account (an account in terms of the causal development of empirical human beings) of just those features of our moral motivation that, according to Kant, seem to make it least amenable to a naturalistic explanation.

| Exhibit | Mark Laver: Shining Examples | 2012-03-16 | 10:00:00 |
| Description
|
Dark, wet, Vancouver Island nights receive a painterly treatment in Mark Laver’s intimate Night Paintings and ambitious Rural Disasters. Be it urban parks after midnight, trailer park fires, nocturnal car crashes or rural highways, the exhibit reveals a battle between the psychological and narrative power of nocturnal imagery and the allure of oil paint itself. Smeared, swirled, glazed and dripped, the luscious materiality of paint is as much the subject of these paintings as the landscape Laver calls home.

| Exhibit | The Silent Observer | 2012-03-16 | 07:30:00 |
| Description
|
He is known as the “father of Canadian photojournalism,” quietly clicking with the "eye of an artist, the concentration of a surgeon, and the reflexes of a cat." From Trudeau’s mischievous slide down the banister on Parliament Hill, to Ben Johnson’s momentary thrill of triumph at winning the 100 meter dash, to the accusing glance of a child of the Chernobyl disaster, Ted Grant has created thousands of iconic images over the past six decades, distilling our world into single, expanding moments.
The Silent Observer features Grant's latest work, a continued exploration of healers, this time from the point of view of medical interns. Grant captures these young men and women in classrooms, operating rooms and rural clinics, from moments of intense concentration to playful laughter, as they journey from student to physician.
Ted Grant is the only photographer to hold both Gold and Silver medals for Photographic Excellence from the National Film Board of Canada. He has published eight books, lectured at prestigious universities and taught courses for the School of Journalism at Carleton University. He has acted as Photographic Coordinator for the Pan American and Commonwealth Games, and for the World Athletic Championships in Edmonton. In 2008, he was presented an Honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree from the University of Victoria.

| Lecture/Seminar | Motivation of Extended Behaviors by Anterior Cingulate Cortex | 2012-03-16 | 15:30:00 |
| Description
|
Speaker: Clay Holroyd, Dept. of Psychology, University of Victoria
Intense research interest over the past decade has yielded diverse and often discrepant theories about the function of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). In particular, a dichotomy has emerged between neuropsychological theories suggesting a primary role for ACC in motivating or “energizing” behavior, and neuroimaging-inspired theories emphasizing its contribution to cognitive control and reinforcement learning. To reconcile these views, I will propose that ACC supports the selection and maintenance of “options” – extended, context-specific sequences of behavior directed toward particular goals – that are learned through a process of hierarchical reinforcement learning. This theory accounts for ACC activity in relation to learning and control while simultaneously explaining the effects of ACC damage as disrupting the motivational context supporting the production of goal-directed action sequences.
