Spring 2021 Projects

Congratulations – you have found your way into the WordPress site for IICS 605, Public Culture (in the Time of COVID), for Spring 2021. 

This course was taught by Dr. Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, through the Master of Arts in Intercultural and International Communication (MAIIC) at Royal Roads University, Victoria, BC, Canada.

For this course, each student in our cohort picked an institution of their choice that best represents a facet of public culture: public space, public memory, public art, or public event.
