| Lecture/Seminar | Looking for Work in Post-Socialist China | 2012-03-06 | 12:30:00 |
| Description
|
Feng Xu recently published "Looking for Work in Post-Socialist China: Governance, Active Job Seekers and the New Chinese Labour Market". In this book she explores unemployment as one of the most politically explosive issues in China which gained further prominence as a result of the present global financial crisis. The novelty, urgency, and complexity of Chinese unemployment have compelled the government to experiment with policy initiatives that originate in the West. Xu argues that although China is not a liberal democracy, it has turned to neo-liberal forms of governance to deal with unemployment, which now function alongside pre-existing Chinese modes of governance. She examines the initiatives which represent China's attempt to institutionalize and humanize its approach to governance: these initiatives include training programmes; counselling; a web-based national labour-market information network; insurance; and using community (shequ) organizations as the base for new mechanisms of governance and informal job generation.
Feng Xu is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. She is the author of Women Migrant Workers in China's Economic Reform (2000).

| Exhibit | The Silent Observer | 2012-03-06 | 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 | Archaeological Illustration for Beginners | 2012-03-06 | 15:30:00 |
| Description
|
G.R.S.C.U. invites you to attend
Tuesday February 28 & March 6,
3:30PM, in CLEB415
This workshop, spanning two weeks will introduce students to the basics of archaeological illustra-tion. Archaeological illustration is a useful skill for those interested in pursuing a career in archae-ology. As a specialized skill, students often receive little exposure to archaeological illustration until they participate on an archaeological project. This workshop is an excellent opportunity for students to learn a new skill, as well as learn more about a career in archaeology.
The instructor for the workshop will be Genevieve Hill. She holds a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Exeter and has participated in field projects in Canada, Greece, and the United King-dom. She has a wide range of experience in archaeological illustration, having worked not only with pottery, but also lithics and organic materials.
Questions regarding the workshop may be directed to trevvd@uvic.ca.

| Description
|
Marie Ulber, “Aktuelle Entwicklungen in der Architektur - Stimmungsvolle Räume in öffentlichen Bauten in Deutschland” (in German)
In public buildings, such as libraries or museums, spaces with reduced functionality and purity in character are transforming into spaces of safety, almost sacred. There is, moreover, a growing interest in the perception of these spaces. What are they for? And how do people feel in these nearly empty rooms?
Marie Ulber graduated in architecture at the Bauhaus-University Weimar and worked in the Swiss studio Degelo Architekten. She also worked as Assistant Professor at the Chair for Design and Theory of Building Types in the Faculty of Architecture and is presently pursuing a Ph.D. at the Faculty of Art and Design at the Bauhaus-University Weimar on the topic of landscape aesthetics.
