How the “Killer” Became the “Orca”
Presenter: Jason M Colby, PhD (Faculty of History, University of Victoria)

Today, there is no more prominent symbol of the West Coast than the orca. Yet just a few decades ago, killer whales were reviled and shot throughout the region. Join UVic historian, Dr. Jason M. Colby, for a provocative exploration of our transformed relationship with the ocean’s top predator. Jason, author of Orca: How We Came to Know and Love the Ocean’s Greatest Predator (Oxford, 2018), will incorporate material from interviews, archives, and personal explorations along the Pacific Coast.

1 session: $10 Class size: max 30
Friday: October 15 1:30-3:00pm
NOTE: offered online via Zoom.
