Two-day conference on pre-modern Japanese religions at McGill University
by Mikael Bauer
Dear colleagues,dear friends,
Over the past two years, the School of Religious Studies at McGill University hosted two successful conferences on premodern Japanese culture and religions. In 2017, scholars from Japanese, American and Canadian universities participated in our first conference entitled ‘The Pure Land in the Nara Schools.’ This first event was sponsored by Numata Canada with a generous grant. The following year, a larger conference was organized (also sponsored by Numata), and scholars from Cornell, Dartmouth, UCLA, Illinois, Albany, Newcastle, and McGill gave presentations on ‘Buddhism and Performance in Premodern Japan.’ We now now plan to organize the first PMJS (Premodern Japanese Studies Network) International Conference at McGill with the financial support from BDK Canada, McGill’s School of Religious Studies (CREOR) and the Japan Foundation. The focus of this two-day conference will be on pre-modern Japan’s religious traditions.
The conference will take place on October 10-11 2019 and feature presentations from fourteen established scholars.
In addition to these fourteen presentations, we would like to invite proposals from graduate students. Three submissions will be selected and partial funding will be available to cover travel/ hotel expenses. Please note that the proposed topic should relate to one or several of premodern Japan’s religious traditions.
Please send your title and short abstract (250 words) before May 1 to:
mikael.bauer@mcgill.ca
Once the list is finalized I will send around the detailed conference schedule, I hope this can be finalized in May. All lectures will be public and no registration fee will be required to attend the conference’s 17 lectures.
Kind regards,
Mikael Bauer
