Details of the program
The Winter School in Buddhist
Textual Scholarship is a new intensive teaching program organized jointly
by academics of the EPHE-PSL (Paris), the EFEO and the
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. It is offered to international
postgraduate students carrying out research in the domain of Buddhist
Studies, and will provide a solid grounding into philology, codicology,
and epigraphy. Its focus will be on primary sources transmitted across
the Buddhist world, with close consideration of their material dimension, their
contexts of production, and their socio-religious functions. The course will
introduce students to fieldwork and will allow them to hone their broader
methodological approach as well as the skills specific to their area of
research. The Winter School has a transregional dimension, with lecturers
specializing in South Asia, Southeast Asia, China and Tibet.
It will be held from February 24 to March 1st,
2025 at the EFEO centre in Chiang Mai (Thailand). Tuition, lodging and
lunch are free of charge.
The Winter School is
addressed to students in their second
year of a Master’s degree or at the start of their doctorate, training in
the field of Buddhist studies.
Participants will be selected on the basis of applications, within the limit of
16 places available.
Students interested in participating in the
winter school are invited to complete the online application form.
The
deadline for applications is 25 November 2024.
