Interdependence/Intersectionality
Marginalization, Oppression, and American Buddhism
This symposium brings together Buddhist scholars, teachers, and
activists to discuss issues of marginalization and oppression related
to race, gender, and sexuality both inside and outside American
Buddhist communities both historically and at the present. Speakers
will discuss such topics as: how did the racialization of Japanese American
Buddhists relate to World War II internment? How are Asian and white
Buddhist communities in conversation or at odds? How have new Buddhist
communities developed or responded to historical or contemporary
exclusion related to gender or sexual orientation? How might Buddhists
respond to the current US political climate?
