RELS 26944 - Gender, Body, and the Buddha

Course Credit: 1

Gender, Body, and the Buddha Buddhist traditions (concept, community, practice) provide a challenging set of case studies of how ideas and ideals of the human body and conceptions of gender are developed and dealt with, across time and culture. This course focuses on conceptions of body and gender, and the social dynamics and understanding of practices that develop in the diversities of Buddhist traditions. (Registration note: While this course has no formal perquisite, this is not an introductory course. Recommended preparation: Course(s) in RELS, or in Chinese, East Asian Studies, or South Asian Studies, or WGSS.)
