ASIAN 3374
Gendering Enlightenment: Attitudes toward Women in Buddhist Traditions

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

Women have from the beginning been integral members of Buddhist traditions. But their voices have often been silenced by male clergy. This course will explore ways in which images of women and the feminine have been manipulated within normative literature to serve a variety of ends. We will also look at the lives of real Buddhist women in premodern and contemporary times as we think about the complex ways women have made space for their own interests.

When Offered Spring.
