Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce an upcoming workshop at Princeton University, “Thinking Through Minshū Bukkyō: Popular Buddhism and the Study of Premodern Japan,” a part of Princeton University’s Numata Visiting Scholar program. The workshop, organized by Bryan Lowe (Princeton University) and Kikuchi Hiroki (University of Tokyo Historiographical Institute), will be held for one-day in-person on Friday, September 22, 2023.

More information on the workshop and a list of speakers can be found here:https://csr.princeton.edu/events/2023/thinking-through-minsh%C5%AB-bukky%C5%8D-popular-buddhism-and-study-premodern-japan

Registration will be available soon. The workshop will be conducted in both English and Japanese.

We are also able to support limited travel expenses up to $500 (max) for a small number of interested graduate students. Please send a short one-page proposal explaining your interest in the workshop and relevant training to bdl...@princeton.edu, as well as a budget. We will begin reviewing applications next week, though we will continue to accept applications on a rolling basis as long as funding is available.

In addition to the Numata Visiting Scholar Fund, the workshop is generously supported by the Center for Culture, Society and Religion; the East Asian Studies Program; and the Department of Religion.
