The Uncommon Object - University Art Gallery, New Bedford
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: For this group exhibition, ten alumni from the renown UMass Dartmouth Ceramics program invited artists who have been influential in a manner contrary to their aesthetic, finding pairings revealing an unusual logic; a connection in uncommon objects.

The exhibition is part of the programming for the 49th annual National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference in Providence, RI which has earned a reputation worldwide as a premier event for ceramic art, drawing thousands of participants each year.

The Buddha’s Footprint: An Environmental History of Asia
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314
- Contact: Center for Indic Studies
- Description: The Buddha's Footprint: An Environmental History of Asia
Thursday, February 26th, 12pm-1pm
Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314
Dr. Johan Elverskog
Southern Methodist University
Contrary to popular imaginings, the Dharma has not historically been an inherently environmental religion. Rather, early Buddhism was a prosperity theology that succeeded largely on account of its willingness to exploit both people and natural resources on the commodity frontier. As such, by investigating the links between Buddhism and agricultural expansion this talk will explore how Buddhists radically transformed Asia's environment.
Johan Elverskog is Altshuler University Distinguished Teaching Professor and Chair of Religious Studies at SMU. He is the author of numerous books and articles, all of which focus on the history of Buddhism across Asia. During 2014-2015 he is a visiting fellow at the Center for Buddhist-Muslim Understanding at Mahidol University, Bangkok.
