Topic for Fall 2019 and Winter 2020: Buddhism in Asia
This course will examine religion and globalization in Asia, with a special focus on Buddhism. During the fall term, students will be introduced to the history and philosophy of Buddhism as it originated in India and spread across the Indian subcontinent and throughout Southeast, East, and Central Asia. Between the fall and winter terms, we will travel to India and Thailand, where students will spend several weeks learning about contemporary Buddhism and its interactions with other communities and religious traditions. Students will complete and present independent research during the winter term.
