About

UVic Humanities Week is an annual, week-long series of events designed to showcase the critical and creative research of our faculty and students while provoking our audience to reflect on contemporary social challenges.

Launched in 2019, Humanities Week has evolved into our largest and most popular public-facing event, gaining momentum every year and building a devoted audience along the way.

This year we are excited to host Humanities Week online for the second year in a row. This approach provides us with an opportunity to reach new audiences and utilize accessible event formats that heighten the experience for all involved.

Between February 7 – 11th we invite you to come learn with us – to be inspired, provoked and enriched by the incredible public scholarship shared by this year’s presenters – at our 4th annual Humanities Week.
