Vital impact
MVP Update - Bloomsday 2013
The Ring
Poring through the 番茄社区's Special Collections catalogues earlier this year, post-doctoral student Matt Huculak (English) stepped into a literary scholar鈥檚 dream: he had his hands on a pirated edition of James Joyce鈥檚 Ulysses, within the pages of an obscure literary journal.
Higgins' translation lauded
The Ring
Dr. Iain Macleod Higgins has received honorable mention in a major prize competition held under the auspices of the Modern Language Association (MLA)鈥攖he Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for a Translation of a Literary Work. The citation on his translation of The Book of John Mandeville (a medieval travel book) congratulates the UVic scholar for 鈥渋mpressive scholarship combine[d] with skillful translation of a medieval work with great modern relevance.鈥 Higgins has taught at UVic since 2001 in both the English department and the medieval studies program. His teaching and research interests include later medieval English, Scottish, and French literature, travel writing and poetry鈥攂oth medieval and modern. He is currently a member of the editorial board of The Malahat Review. Info on prize: www.mla.org/prizeinfo_translit
Islamic scholars charter
The Ring
In December, Andrew Rippin (History) joined a team of international scholars in Kuwait organized by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs to develop a charter and action plan recognizing that those who study Islamic civilization from outside the Muslim world can make a contribution to 鈥減ositive interactions and a spirit of shared human concerns鈥 in their work. Given the tensions that have existed over the past 150 years or so of 鈥淥rientalist鈥 scholarship, the tone of cooperation that marked this meeting signifies a major shift in attitude for the Arab world. Joining scholars from Australia, Austria, Germany, Mauritania, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States, Rippin hopes that some joint projects may be possible with the 番茄社区 and other Canadian partners in the future.
