2010 Call for Papers

Tibetan and Himalayan Religions Group

This Group promotes conversations between different approaches to the study of Tibetan and Himalayan religions. We solicit proposals for both panels and individual papers. For 2010, we encourage proposals that address the broad AAR theme of religion and science. Possible topics of interest (based on responses at the 2009 meeting) include: 1) Twentieth century Tibetan and/or Himalayan responses to scientific discourse; 2) Approaches to the astromedical tradition; 3) Analysis of a core Tibetan religious text (or texts); 4) Tibetan/Himalayan female religious authority; 5) Localized Buddhist traditions in the Himalayas; 6) Pox and plagues in Tibet and the Himalayas; 7) Children in Tibetan religion; 8) Dreams in Tibetan Buddhism; and 9) The Buddhist appropriation of Bon. We especially encourage proposals that may be cosponsored with other Sections, Groups, or Consultations.
