New additions to online resource - Buddhism: A Guide to Research
by Michael Kicey
Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to
announce the publication of some significant additions to my online
resource, Buddhism: A Guide to Research.
·
A biography and a pair of book galleries for Thanissaro Bhikkhu, an
important teacher/thinker in the Theravada tradition.
·
Biographies and book galleries for three
important Tibetan teachers: Lama Surya Das, Choying Tobden Dorje,
and Geshe Tashi Tsering.
·
Biographies and book galleries for six important Western
teachers/thinkers: Martine Batchelor, Jon Kabat-Zinn, David R. Loy, Sharon Salzberg, and Alan Watts.
·
A book gallery devoted to The Complete Works of
Sangharakshita from Windhorse Publications.
·
A much broader and more generous selection of Very Short Introductions
from Oxford University Press that will help readers and researchers learn about
a multitude of topic areas related to Buddhism.
·
Several hundred new books on many subjects
added to preexisting galleries across the entire guide, many of which were
culled from past H-Buddhism announcements.
I look forward
to hearing your feedback on these additions as well as the guide in general.
Yours,
Mike Kicey

CFP: Buddhism and Animal Ethics Panel for AAR 2020
by Geoffrey Barstow
Dear Colleagues,I am soliciting papers for a panel on Buddhism and Animal Ethics for next year’s AAR in Boston. My thought is to include both papers that take a historical approach, examining Buddhist approaches to animals in particular times and places, as well as prescriptive philosophical reflections on Animal Ethics that build on, critique, or otherwise intersect with Buddhist thought. So really, any paper that deals with Animal Ethics and Buddhism is welcome. In the long term, my ambition is to build on this panel by eventually putting together an edited volume on this topic. So please feel free to let me know if you would like to be involved with that project even if you are unable to join us next fall in Boston.
If you are interested in participating in this panel, please email me at barstowg@oregonstate.edu
Wishing you all a gentle winter,
Geoff
CFP> Critical Review for Buddhist Studies (CRBS) vol. 27
by Youngsu Ha
Dear Colleagues,
The Geumgang Center for Buddhist Studies (GCBS) is calling for
papers related to studies covering Indian, Tibetan and East Asian
Buddhism to be published in the journal Critical Review for
Buddhist Studies (CRBS).
This journal has been issued on a semi-annual basis since
February 2006. As of 2019, twenty-six volumes have been published to date by
the GCBS, which is based at Geumgang University in Korea. All the published
papers can be downloaded free of charge at http://gcbs.ggu.ac.kr/sub04_1. (An English webpage is currently under construction.)
The GCBS was selected and financed by the National Research
Foundation (NRF) in 2007 as a 10-year project, named the Humanities Korea
Project. Our agenda was titled “Inspection of the Cultural Processes of
Formation, Transformation, and Reception of the Classical Buddhist Languages
and their Literature.”
Since then, we have released a volume titled, “The Foundation for
Yoga Practitioners: Buddhist Yogācārabhūmi Treatise and Its
Adaptation in India, East Asia, and Tibet,” which was co-published by Harvard
University in the Harvard Oriental Series, Vol. 75.
CRBS
consists of articles that were presented at conferences, guest lectures,
workshops, and colloquiums. Almost half of the articles in our journal are
written in foreign languages, other than Korean, such as English, Japanese and
Chinese.
Consequently, our journal (despite its short history of ten
years) was nominated as a Registered Journal of the Korean Research Foundation
in July, 2017. Based on this momentum, the editorial board of the CRBS is
calling for papers that will showcase various researchers’ remarkable academic
achievements.
We cordially invite scholars to submit articles based on the
broad field of Buddhist studies, covering Indian, Tibetan and East Asian
Buddhism. In particular, textual studies on Buddhism, or a topic that is
relevant to the focus area of the GCBS, are welcomed. Also, critical reviews of
recent research, as well as books written in English, are most welcome. We
publish the CRBS twice a year (April 30th and October 31th), and the
next CRBS, vol.27 will be published on April 30, 2020.
We adopt a thorough blind peer-review system to verify
submissions, and each submission is examined via the KCI (Korea Citation
Index), which is supported by the NRF. Research articles will be selected for
publication, from among all eligible submissions, through an impartial blind
peer-review conducted by three specialists in the field. (Authors of the
critical reviews that are selected for publication will receive a modest
remuneration.)
1.

written in English are preferred. Papers written in Japanese is also possible.
* After
being nominated as a “Registered Journal of the Korean Research Foundation,”
CRBS has been using JAMS, a journal and article management system provided by
the Korea Research Foundation. Please submit papers or reviews to the JAMS of
CRBS (https://crbs.jams.or.kr/co/main/jmMain.kci) after signing up. If you have any trouble signing up
for the JAMS of CRBS, please feel free to contact us by Email (criticalreviewforbs@gmail.com). We will help you create accounts and submit papers
to the system.
We welcome your continued interest and wait with eager
anticipation for submissions from Buddhist scholars around the world. Thank
you!
Best wishes,

H-Net> 2020 - A Year of Transition at H-Net

of H-Net,
2020
marks a year of significant transition as H-Net’s longest serving Executive
Director, Peter Knupfer, ended his tenure in the position on December 31st,
2019. H-Net will forever be indebted to Peter for his unwavering passion for
the organization, his steady leadership, and the vision and determination it
took to grow a collection of listservs into the tremendously multifaceted
resource for academics that H-Net has become. Our networks have thrived because
Peter always believed in the singularly unique talents and expertise of our
editors. For Peter, the real enduring strength of H-Net these more than
twenty-five years has always, and could only, be truly attributed to our
network and reviews editorial teams. On a personal level, Peter was an
incredible mentor to the both of us as we finished our graduate studies at
Michigan State and during our time together in the H-Net Home Office. We wish
Peter all the best as he steps away to focus on his work as a historian at MSU.
New
leadership brings new vision, but with our long-standing ties to the
organization, the future of H-Net will be built on the strength of years of
experience in Open Access, academic best practices, and collaboration. When the
H-Net listservs became networks and moved to their new home on the H-Net Commons, we were
very excited about the possibilities for scholars on the new platform. But
first and foremost, our concern was to make the transition as smooth as
possible for subscribers, retaining as much of the moderated listserv culture
that had set us apart from other public forums as possible. We are happy to say
that we host nearly 180 wonderful networks and we have also expanded
existing services like the Job Guide, Reviews and H-Announce while introducing others such as the H-Net Book
Channel and H-Net
Journals. Our platform has grown, but there are many areas where we see
room for improvement and innovation. It is time to further improve the
subscriber experience and continue to bring H-Net in line with current digital
best practices as we begin a new decade.
Toward
those ends, we have been taking a deep dive into how people use the current
platform and have identified several key areas for focused improvement. We are
also exploring new forms of subscriber participation, such as customizable
personal spaces that allow for more refined curation as well as streamlined
opportunities to create academic-caliber digital scholarship. We have also
begun work on a digital peer-review service that we see as vital to giving that
digital scholarship intellectual credibility and institutional sanction.
H-Net
has long strived to serve the academic community by providing the services and
resources necessary to building academic careers and strong intellectual
communities. As we begin 2020 and look to the challenges and opportunities
ahead, we are committed not only to maintaining the quality services you have
come to expect from H-Net, but to anticipating and meeting your future academic
needs.
We
look forward to meeting that challenge and wish you the best in the New Year.
All
the best,
Doug
Priest, President

Draper, Interim Executive Director
