Seminars
Our department has a full program of weekly seminars by visiting speakers, normally held on Fridays from 3:00-4:30pm, and internal lunchtime (brown bag) workshops in which visiting professors, UVic faculty, and graduate students present their research work, held on Wednesdays from 12:30-1:20pm.
We also serve as the host for the CEA’s Indigenous Economics Study Group's (IESG) weekly virtual seminar, which is held on Thursdays from 12:00-1:00pm (i.e. 3:00-4:00pm EST). The IESG seminar welcomes cutting edge contemporary and historical research on Indigenous economies. Finally, on occasion, we host pre-eminent scholars to present lectures under the Lansdowne Lecture Series.
The Departmental Seminar Coordinators are Colette Salemi, Tao Wang, and Justin Wiltshire.
Seminars are on Fridays from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., unless otherwise indicated (in bold).
Seminars will aim to be in-person in 2023-24. However, if a seminar ends up being virtual, please join the virtual seminars by clicking this Zoom link (Meeting ID: 873 3829 7915). In-person seminars will be held in BEC 363 for fall and spring terms.

About Lansdowne lectures
In 1978, the University of Victoria received funds from the provincial government for the sale of the University's former campus on Lansdowne Road, which was then to be further developed as the site of Camosun College. These funds were invested in trust, with the revenue dedicated to a special program of distinguished academic appointments. The criteria used in the selection of Lansdowne visitors are that they must be leading scholars with a national or international reputation and must be capable of interacting positively with students and faculty.
Pre-eminent academics invited to visit our department as Lansdowne scholars typically stay from two to five days and deliver one public lecture of broad interest and one or two seminars of a more specialized nature. They are also expected to be available to meet with individual, or small groups of, faculty and students.
