Who Should Apply
To apply for the Women in Buddhism Institute you must meet the NEH eligibility criteria. In addition to fulltime faculty at American 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities, the program is also open to adjunct faculty and graduate students.
In keeping with the ASDP mission of enhancing undergraduate Asian studies, we especially welcome applications from faculty who demonstrate a personal commitment to teaching excellence and whose institutions are committed to expanding and enhancing engagement with Asian content throughout the humanities and social sciences
Because the program is designed to offer a broad introduction to Buddhism while also providing a context for more in-depth exploration of Women in Buddhism, no prior training in Buddhist or Gender Studies is expected. We also do not expect training in Asian languages. A guiding principle of the selection process will be to include people from a wide range of disciplines to become co-creators of a truly diverse community of inquiry. This will likely include people with substantial graduate Buddhist studies training, but also people with no such training. We also anticipate including both people with academic and/or personal commitments to the study of Buddhism, but also people completely new to studying and teaching about Buddhism. In the end, we are looking for a group of people who will enthusiastically explore how turn differences into opportunities for mutual contribution.
Applicants accepted into this program will receive a $3,450 stipend to help defray the costs of participation and will have lodging reserved in the East-West Center faculty guesthouse, Lincoln Hall. Plans should be made to arrive on June 4 and depart on July 1, 2023. Participants are required to attend all institute sessions. We will end with an optional final dinner on the June 30, so an evening departure is possible if necessary.
