PANEL DISCUSSION & RECEPTION: 5:30-7:00pm, LLC Meeting Room "The Role of Ceramics in Education"

About the artists and panelists:

Curator and coordinator of the exhibition and panel is Prof. Kimberly Kersey-Asbury of Fine Arts Dept., a mixed media artist who incorporates ceramics into her studio work and teaching. Prof. Kersey-Asbury has worked alongside community members in the Monadnock Region, the MAxT Makerspace, as well as with accomplished artist/educators, such as these, to help found the new MAxT Ceramic Center in Dublin, NH, after the sudden loss of a decades-old community arts center. Thanks to a groundswell of volunteers, interest, donations and a NH Art Council Grant, the new center offers both introductory and master-class level experiences in clay, and highlights the continued relevance of an age-old medium.

Rachel Montroy teaches ceramics here at Saint Anselm and works with the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen, is exhibiting examples of her whimsical felt and ceramic mixed media sculpture on the 3rd floor of LLC.

Chris Archer teaches ceramics at New England College and leads workshops up and down the East Coast. He is a dynamic ceramic artist with a stunning display on the 2nd floor of LLC.

Ben Putnam teaches art at Conval high school in Peterborough NH, is a gifted educator, speaker and outside-the-box ceramic/mixed media artist. His unexpected mixed media and clay work can be seen on the 1st floor of LLC.

Prof. Kelly Demers, chair of education at Saint Anselm College, teaches courses on multicultural education and the integration of arts and creativity in the elementary classroom. Her research interests include the role that the arts play in teacher thinking and pedagogical practice. She received her doctorate from Boston College, masters from Lesley University and a Bachelors of Music from New England Conservatory. She was also a public school teacher for seven years.

Bean Lecture Poetry Reading with Rage Hezekiah

April 18, 2023
7:00 pm EDT - 8:00 pm EDT

Additional Information:

Rage Hezekiah is the author of Yearn (Winner of the 2021 Diode Editions Book Contest and 2023 Lamba Literary Best Lesbian Poetry Nominee),  Stray Harbor (2019), and Unslakable ( 2018 Vella Chapbook Award Winner).  

She is a Cave Canem, MacDowell, and Ragdale Fellow and recipient of the Saint Botolph Emerging Artist Award in Literature and nominee for Best New Poets of 2017.

The word is ‘yearn.’  Not ‘yearning’—not that soft. Yearn. A command. A dare. The poet’s directive to herself and to us, Reader. Do you want to feel your body alight & vibrating? Yearn. Rage Hezekiah’s poems walk that walk, show—in stunning images, in did-she-say-that? word-witchery—a woman making her desires known to herself, so she can step out to meet the life she wants to live.

- Evie Shockley, author of semiautomatic

Location Information:

Jean Student Center Melucci Auditorium

There will also be a workshop with the poet at 3PM in Learning Living Center (LLC) at Saint Anselm College.

Zoning Atlas Launch

May 9, 2023
8:00 am EDT - 10:15 am EDT

Zoning atlas for NH

Join the Center for Ethics in Society, in partnership with NH Housing and the NH Office of Planning and Development, on May 9 as we launch the New Hampshire Zoning Atlas, the result of a 16-month effort to research, catalog, digitize, and graphically display all of New Hampshire’s zoning regulations, community-by-community, district-by-district.

 
The NH Zoning Atlas has the potential to be a valuable tool for researchers, policymakers, planners, community leaders, builders and developers, advocates, and others to understand NH’s zoning, as well as to stimulate a statewide discourse about the ways in which zoning in our communities - both individually & collectively - affects housing supply & affordability.
 
The launch will include a presentation of the atlas, a panel discussion, and remarks from special guests, including Sara Bronin (U.S. Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and founder of the National Zoning Atlas).

We hope you will join us for this exciting event. Breakfast is included.
