2010 Call for Papers
Buddhist Critical–Constructive Reflection Group
This Group explores how modern academic disciplines and findings (in philosophy, ethics, religious studies, theology, anthropology, etc.) may inform or be informed by Buddhist modes of understanding and how Buddhist thought or practice may help address problems, needs, or issues faced by societies today. We invite paper or panel proposals on topics including but not limited to the following: 1) Buddhism and psychotherapy - what factors, intellectual and cultural, influence diverse ways that Buddhism and psychotherapy are wedded today? What are the ramifications of the appropriation of Buddhist practices into psychotherapy? 2) How any current intellectual or social issue may inform or be informed by Buddhism; 3) Emptiness and the contemporary turn to relationality; 4) Buddhism, race, and gender; 5) Current normative reflections on karma theory; 6) Buddhist ethical paradigms for fieldwork in Buddhism; 7) Buddhist political philosophies; and 8) Power dynamics in the teaching or study of Buddhism.
