Description :

The name Malaspina has echoed around Vancouver Island for decades. Who was this man? What did he accomplish? Did he deserve to have a university-college named after him? We'll explore his life, works and times.

Instructor: John Black directed the Alexandro Malaspina Research Centre at VIU from 1999 to 2019. He absorbed a wide range of historical sources, developed connections with international scholars, many of whom came to Nanaimo to give public lectures, and translated a number of Malaspina's writings. He was awarded the Malaspina Medal by the Centro di Studi Malaspiniani in Mulazzo, Tuscany, the navigator's birthplace.
