The Buddhist Studies unit invites papers exploring this year's conference theme, “Religious Studies after COVID-19: The Role of Religion in Times of Pandemic, Sustainability, Marginalized Communities, and Social & Economic Justice” directly or tangentially. Topics of particular interest include: sangha responses to the pandemic; Buddhism and racial justice; Socially Engaged Buddhism; and Buddhism and healing. We welcome papers covering any school of Buddhism and from all disciplinary approaches. Topics of interest not related to the conference theme will also be considered as space permits.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact.
