This Section encourages panel or individual paper proposals that continues enduring concerns of Buddhist studies (e.g., our current understanding of a Buddhist scripture or classic work) or introduces new directions for the study of Buddhism (especially through proposals for joint sessions with units in the AAR that have not been conventionally contiguous with the study of Buddhism). In recognition of the 2010 focus on religion and science, proposals relating the study of Buddhism to that theme are particularly welcome. Proposals are also especially sought that will make creative use of the ninety-minute sessions in formats other than paper or panel presentations. Examples would include (but are not limited to) a guided close reading of a Buddhist text or a guided group discussion on a foundational concept or issue in the academic study of Buddhism. Other topics of interest, as suggested by Section members, include Buddhist ethics, magic and Buddhism, Buddhism and medicine, Buddhist meditation methods, pedagogy in Buddhist studies, and Buddhism and socialism.
