Buddhist Studies: Australasian
Contributions | |
There is a general awareness that in recent years
there has been a rapid, almost exponential, increase in Buddhist
Studies throughout the scholarly world. What is perhaps not so
well known is how much work is being done in Buddhist Studies in
universities in the Australasian region.
It is noteworthy that none of these academics are affiliated
with a department of Buddhist Studies, but are working in a wide
range of disciplines and in comparative isolation, sometimes
unaware that there were others, even in their own universities,
who shared an interest in the study of Buddhism.
By organizing this conference, the Executive
Committee of the AABS seeks to provide a forum where scholars in
Buddhist studies from the Australasian region will have an
opportunity to familiarize themselves with researches of their
colleagues. |
