1 HR8344 : Traditions of Buddhism in the West Fall 2012: September 4, December 14, 2012 Scott Mitchell ~ scott@shin-ibs.edu ~ Office Hours: Tuesday, 1-3 p.m. (or by appointment) Skype name: buddhaworld Course description: This course surveys the history of Buddhist traditions in the West. Beginning with 19th century colonial contact and Asian immigration through 21st century global exchanges, we will explore the various ways that Buddhists, Buddhist communities, and Buddhist ideas have come to and developed in Western contexts. Previous Buddhist studies courses helpful but not required Format: weekly online assignments, discussion, lectures Evaluation: class participation, book review or field trip, final research paper Student learning objectives: Students will learn of the various ways that Buddhism came to Western cultural contexts via colonial contacts and globalization Students will be able to distinguish different Buddhist communities, their unique histories, and challenges facing them in the contemporary world Students will employ different methodological approaches and lenses in the study of Buddhisms in Western contexts, including, among others, postcolonial studies, modernity, globalization, and transnationalism Students will be able to identify specific issues facing Buddhists in the modern world, including, among others, bhikṣuṇī ordination, engaged Buddhism, and the commodification of Buddhist images and ideas Students will be challenged to relate Buddhism traditions in Western contexts to their own personal career goals either in ministry, chaplaincy, or the academy Required texts: Donald Lopez, ed. A Modern Buddhist Bible: essential readings from East and West. Boston: Beacon Press, Available online from Amazon or the BCA Buddhist Bookstore online or at the JSC Course reader. Available as PDFs from the course Moodle site
2 Schedule in brief: 1. Introduction to course, students, instructor, and course topics 2. Colonialism in South Asia 3. Colonialism in East Asia 4. The World Parliament of Religions 5. Japanese immigration and internment 6. American Buddhism under Eisenhower 7. Two Buddhisms, Three Buddhisms, and Racism 8. Post-1965 Immigrant Buddhist communities 9. New Buddhists: US Zen, Shambhala International, and Insight Mediation 10. Buddhism, media, and consumerism 11. Women in Buddhism, Bhikṣuṇī ordination 12. Engaged Buddhism 13. Book reviews and/or field trip reports 14. Final papers due Evaluations and Assignments: Evaluations for this course will be based on: 1. Class participation in the form of written reflections submitted to the Moodle page (25%) 2. Written book review or field trip report (25%) 3. Final research paper (50%) Weekly reflection papers As this is an online course, class discussion will take place via the Moodle page. Students are required to post a short, one or two paragraph reflection on the week s reading no later than Wednesday. We will then have the opportunity to reply to one another s responses online. Depending on the mix of students, we will arrange some time during the semester either for an in-person meeting or Skype conference call. Please refer to the Week 1 lecture posted to the Moodle page for more information. Book review Each student will submit a book report by Week 8. The report should be a critical evaluation of an academic book on the topic of Buddhism in Western contexts, and be approximately 2000 to 3000 words. Book review samples can be found on the Moodle site with a list of suggested books for review. (Students may choose a book not on this list with instructor permission.)
3 Field trip (alternative to book report) Alternatively, students may choose to write a field trip report in lieu of a book review. Students choosing this option should locate a Buddhist community in their area, schedule a time to visit the community, and then write a 2000 word report on their experience. Field trip reports are also due Week 8. Please consult instructor for more details regarding this option. Final research paper All students must submit a research paper that: is roughly 5000 words in length (approximately 15 to 20 double-spaced pages) engages an issue relevant to the course (is about Buddhist traditions in Western contexts) makes and defends an argument (is not simply a summary of existing ideas) utilizes both primary and critical secondary sources relevant to the topic follows the citation style mandated by the GTU (Turabian) For more details on my expectations, please see: Research papers begin with an idea that you are passionate about. Mid-way through the semester, you should speak with me about your idea, and together we will ensure that you are on firm ground. I recognize that research papers can be daunting tasks; you should start thinking about your topic early in the semester. And recognize the value in doing this type of writing. All IBS/ GTU students will eventually write a thesis. Think of this assignment as practice for that eventual goal. Research papers are due Friday, December 14. No exceptions.
