Greetings from sunny Victoria, British Columbia. I am here to learn and participate in the Digital Humanities Summer Institute hosted at the University of Victoria. I am told that more than 150 people have registered, so it should be a good event. There is a big mix of people present which should lead to some interesting conversations.
Two small notes about Victoria so far. Coming in from the airport, I was greeted by a scene that broadly proclaimed the city as home to “Canada’s Pacific Fleet.” Indeed, several people on my airport shuttle said that they were going to naval base. Contrast that observation with the University of Victoria campus which is oddly well populated with rabbits. I’ve never seen such a thing. I wonder if there is some sort of interesting backstory to this? Perhaps an experiment in ecology?
