Europe
Making history tangible
UVic PhD student Brian Pollick and his wife Heather Lindstedt worked closely with UVic Libraries to establish the Medieval Manuscript Fund, which has helped build one of the most extensive collections of medieval manuscripts west of Toronto. “I wanted to provide ways to give materiality to a bygone age,” says Pollick.
EU field school

Students from the humanities, social sciences, fine arts and law—now back in Victoria after a transformative trip overseas and also in Winnipeg—came together for a powerful and challenging field school that brought them to historic sites in Europe and taught them valuable lessons about Canada.
EU study tour
The Ring
Nine students traveled to Europe this May on the annual EU Study Tour. Offered through UVic's European studies program, the tour includes visits to Brussels, Luxembourg, Strasbourg and Frankfurt. One student, Anna Dodd, describes how the experiences overseas are now influencing her future choices.
New humanities field school
Media release
UVic students are currently visiting historic sites in Europe in a field school examining migration, the refugee crisis and memorialization of the Holocaust. And the learning doesn't stop in Europe: they'll be at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in mid August, then home to UVic for a symposium.

As Canada marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle for Vimy Ridge on April 9, a new virtual exhibit of historical material--Victoria to Vimy--is unveiled by Special Collections and University Archives with compelling stories from the home front including of Joseph Clearihue, UVic’s first Chancellor.

The Ring
The "Study Abroad" programs offered by the Department of Hispanic and Italian Studies left two UVic undergraduate students last year not only with an amplified fluency for Spanish but also with unforgettable memories and an incomparable immersion in language and culture.
Scandanavian sustainability
The Ring
Northern Europe is famous for sustainability—from cycling in Copenhagen, Iceland’s geothermal riches, and offshore wind farms in the North Sea to Germany’s investments in mass solar power. This spring, 28 UVic geography students headed to Europe to study those sustainability efforts and more. Their month-long field school took them to Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands brought them together with community leaders, planners, developers, scholars and others to examine Scandanavian efforts to address the daunting ecological and social challenges facing contemporary societies.
Viewpoint:2014 Iwitness Field School
The Ring
Rowan Meredith is a UVic Slavic Studies student who attended the 2014 I-witness field school and is currently immersed in a summer co-op at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum. She sent these "notes from the field" while still in Europe.
MoEML - Map of Early Modern London
The Ring
You could walk across London of the 1500s in about 20 minutes. And now, thanks to the survival of a 450-year-old woodcut map, Shakespeare’s world can also "open up to us like a Google map,” says Dr. Janelle Jenstad (English), project director of UVic’s constantly evolving Map of Early Modern London (MoEML).
