CONFERENCE> Violence, Nonviolence, and Japanese Religions: Past, Present, and Future

Dear Colleagues,

It is an honor to inform you about the forthcoming Numata Conference in Buddhist Studies, to be held at the University of Hawaii on March 20–21, 2014 in the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center, Keoni Auditorium.

For two days, presentations, discussions, and movies will focus on the following theme: Violence, Nonviolence, and Japanese Religions: Past, Present, and Future

The complete program of presentations is available here:

This event should elicit fascinating debates, and it provides a unique opportunity for scholars to engage in lively discussions with the local community.

We hope that this conference will generate a significant amount of new scholarship documenting the relation between Japanese religions and violence or nonviolence from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It will eventually result in a publication.

I cannot say like Oliver, "If you happen to be in the area, please stop by," but I nevertheless hope that this generates some excitement across the planet.

Shanti,

Michel
