G.R.S.C.U. invites you to attend

Tuesday, February 28 & March 6
3:30 pm, Clearihue B415

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.

Centre for Studies in Religion and Society Public Lecture Series

Would the Discovery of Extra-Terrestrial Life Affect our Religious Beliefs?
Alan Batten, Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (Retired)
Chair of CSRS Friends

Over a thousand planets are now known to exist within several hundred planetary systems. Although no planet resembling the Earth has yet been detected, one could be found very soon. This will attract much curiosity as to whether or not it supports life, and particularly intelligent life. Some believe that the discovery of such life would profoundly affect our religious beliefs. The speaker will examine the evidence for this claim.

Alan Batten, currently Chair of the Friends of the Centre, spent over half a century at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory here in Victoria. He has served as a vice-president of the International Astronomical Union and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1977. His most recent book, Our Enigmatic Universe: One Astronomer's Reflections on the Human Condition, was published by Melrose Books in June 2011.

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. 

Guest Speaker: Dr. Paul Cappon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Council on Learning, University of Ottawa

The elusive term "Executive Function (EF)" has remained controversial in neuropsychology, and sounded theoretical models that attempt to define it have failed during their validation efforts.  As an exception, parsimonious statistical approaches using latent variables have prevailed and succeeded to considerable extent. Dr. Garcia-Barrera proposed INTERACT, an extension of Miyake et al's (2000) three-component approach to examine EFs, in which the interactions between five specific executive systems permit the emergence of executive control. Therefore, EFs are defined theoretically not only as a series of unitary byproducts of these interactions, but also in terms of a diversity of distinguishable functional systems: problem representation, updating working memory, and attentional-, emotional- and inhibitory control. This presentation aims to introduce you to the derivation of such theory and to share the results of Jeff Frazer’s dissertation, a doctoral candidate in Psychology who examined INTERACT’s validity as a viable model of EF.
