SUMMARY:"Decolonizing Religious Studies" public lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by Natalie Avalos on “Decolonizing Religious Studies.” \nAbstract: As religious studies scholars\, it is critical for us to explore the racialized perceptions of non-Western religious traditions and peoples as well as to trace how these peoples continue to be structurally dispossessed because of those perceptions. Until recently\, Native American and Indigenous religious traditions were perceived by anthropologists and scholars of religion as failed epistemologies. Their views were pathologized as childish and superstitious\, evidence that they lacked the rationality to govern themselves or lay legitimate claims to their own lands. Settler colonial projects used these ideologies to justify Indigenous enslavement\, genocide\, and dispossession. Decolonizing religious studies means making the hierarchies that exist materially among peoples and their knowledge systems legible. It also means reclaiming and re-centering Indigenous epistemologies\, given their historically violent subjugation. When these discursive legacies and their material stakes are made visible\, they can be transformed. \nNatalie Avalos is an assistant professor in the Ethnic Studies department at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is an ethnographer of religion whose teaching and research examine Indigenous religious life\, healing historical trauma\, and decolonization. She received her Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a special focus on Native American and Indigenous Religious Traditions and Tibetan Buddhism and is currently working on her manuscript titled Decolonizing Metaphysics: Transnational Indigeneities and Religious Refusal\, which explores urban Indigenous religious life as decolonial praxis. She is a Chicana of Mexican Indigenous descent. \nThis event is organized by the Engaging Education in Buddhist Studies initiative\, with support from the Khyentse Foundation\, together with the Yehan Numata Program in Buddhist Studies.

SUMMARY:Constructing Health: Salutogenic Placemaking\, Mind Health and the Six Perfections Frameworks
DESCRIPTION:How do buildings make us feel? How can they make us feel better? \nThrough research at the emerging intersection of neuroscience and architecture\, Tye Farrow will explore how our mind\, and its various sensory systems\, interacts with our built environment to enhance or harm our health and well-being. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology (the science of the mind) and neuroscience (the science of the brain)\, he bridges the gap in knowledge between the therapeutic medical world and the design community to reveal how the intentional shaping of our environment can support our physical and neurological well-being. \nHe will set out two working frameworks. Salutogenic placemaking treats architecture as an active determinant of mind health rather than a neutral backdrop to it. The Buddhist framework of Six Perfections\, including generosity\, self-discipline\, patience\, perseverance\, concentration\, and wisdom\, name the human capacities that places can help cultivate\, giving design a specific framework rather than a general aspiration toward wellness. \nWorking at the intersection of architecture and neuroscience\, Tye is a world-recognized pioneer in tackling how our built environments either give or cause health. The first Canadian architect to earn a Master of Neuroscience Applied to Architecture\, he is a much sought-after speaker\, having presented to respected organizations in over sixty-five cities on six continents. \nThis public lecture is part of a 2026-27 series on Salutogenic Placemaking. Organized by the Engaging Education in Buddhist Studies initiative\, and in collaboration with the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and the Buddhism\, Psychology\, and Mental Health program\, the series examines how physical and social environments support individual\, community\, and planetary flourishing\, with focus on how the Buddhist framework of the Six Perfections can shape design. The series is made possible with support from the Khyentse Foundation.
