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.

Between February 6 – 10th 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 5th annual Humanities Week.
