Dr. Robert S. Wicks, Professor Emeritus and Former Director of the Miami University Art Museum, will speak on “Numismatic Method in the Study of Early Southeast Asian Coinage” as part of the “Curatorial Practicum: Commerce, Currencies, and Commodities: Reconfiguring the Archive” (ARTH 4110/6010) course. The lecture is free and open to the public.

“Constructing New Narratives: Curatorial Practice Today” is a semester-long course offered at the Johnson Museum in collaboration with the Department of the History of Art and Visual Studies. The Fall 2022 the seminar is co-taught by Kaja McGowan, Associate Professor of the History of Art and Visual Studies, and Ellen Avril, chief curator and Stoikov Curator of Asian Art. The theme, “Commerce, Currencies, and Commodities: Reconfiguring the Archive,” examines how the political, religious, and economic identities of Southeast Asia were largely formed by the experiences of the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries, when international commerce boomed before eventually falling under the domination of well-armed European powers intent on monopoly. Library and museum collections across campus will provide a lens for reconfiguring the archive.

Please join Cornell's Society for Buddhist Studies for the first lecture of the '22-'23 academic year, by Prof. Monima Chadha. Prof. Chadha is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Monash University, Australia, and the inaugural Jack Karp Fellow at Cornell's Sage School of Philosophy.

Prof. Chadha researches the philosophy of mind in the classical Indian and contemporary western traditions. Her book, Selfless Minds (to be published by Oxford University Press), draws on Abhidharma-Buddhist philosophy and contemporary cognitive science to provide an account of conscious experiences, in particular subjectivity and agency, without positing the existence of subjects and agents.

While at Cornell, Dr. Chadha will be working on Vasubandhu’s Karmasiddhiprakaraṇa, “The Treatise on Action”, to develop an Abhidharma Buddhist account of moral responsibility without a self.

The talk is sponsored by the GPSA-FC, the Sage School of School of Philosophy, and the Department of Asian Studies, and is open to the entire Cornell community.
