The Journal of Buddhist Ethics is
pleased to announce that on January 1, 2019, Prof. Victor Forte will become the
General Editor of the JBE. Daniel Cozort, who has served in that
capacity for the past twelve and a half years, will continue to handle some
technical tasks for awhile but will not do editing work. The rest of the JBE
editorial staff and board will remain in place for the time being.
Victor Forte, M.S. Ph.D. is an Associate
Professor of Religious Studies and Director of Asian Studies at Albright
