SUMMARY:Brochure release: "Beyond Band-aids"
DESCRIPTION:This brochure critiques approaches to student mental health that rely primarily on counselling services\, wellness technologies\, and individual coping strategies. It argues that students increasingly seek educational opportunities that examine the social\, cultural\, political\, and philosophical dimensions of suffering and flourishing. Presenting BPMH as a model of intellectually engaged mental health education\, the brochure contends that meaningful learning communities are themselves essential components of student well-being and should be understood as part of a comprehensive university response to the mental health crisis. \nPick up one of these limited-edition brochures\, created by the BPMH Task Force\, at Room 320 in the Jackman Humanities Building.

She is the founder of Noongwa Wellness\, an emerging Indigenous-led primary care and healing space rooted in place\, culture\, and community located in Neyaashiinigmiing\, Ontario.

SUMMARY:Podcast release\, episode 5 — "What Would Really Be Lost?"
DESCRIPTION:The final episode of this five-part series in the podcast Buddhist Studies Footnotes asks a question that lies beneath the entire series: what is a university for? Returning to the voices of students\, alumni\, faculty\, clinicians\, and community partners\, Frances Garrett reflects on what the proposed loss of BPMH reveals about higher education itself. Contrasting mindfulness as an isolated wellness tool with an education rooted in history\, ethics\, community\, and social responsibility\, the episode argues that universities have an obligation not only to transmit knowledge but also to cultivate the conditions for human flourishing. The conclusion is both a reflection on the legacy of the BPMH program and a broader comment on the future of universities in an age marked by disciplinary fragmentation\, mental health challenges\, and growing demands for more engaged\, humane\, and transformative forms of education.

SUMMARY:Brochure release: "Does Our University Practice What It Preaches?"
DESCRIPTION:This brochure examines the proposed closure of the BPMH program as a case study in institutional accountability. It contrasts the University’s public commitments to student well-being\, equity\, anti-racism\, intellectual diversity\, and transdisciplinary education with administrative decisions affecting one of its most innovative academic programs. Rather than focusing solely on the future of BPMH\, the brochure invites readers to consider broader questions about university governance\, transparency\, and whether institutional actions consistently reflect publicly proclaimed values. \nPick up one of these limited-edition brochures\, created by the BPMH Task Force\, at Room 320 in the Jackman Humanities Building.

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.
