1 RS 321: Women in Buddhism: A Global Perspective Class days: Tuesday/Thursday Time: 1PM to 1:20 PM Instructor: Mavis Fenn Office: St. Paul s University College, Room 209 Contact information: mfenn@uwaterloo.ca ; Phone X211 Office Hours: 11:30 AM-12:30 P.M. Tues., 2:30-3:30 P.M. Thurs. or by appointment. Students are advised to make an appointment as, due to unavoidable meetings, occasionally office hours may have to be cancelled. Course Description An introduction to the roles of women, lay and ordained, within the Buddhist tradition. An examination of views about women found in Indian culture at the time Buddhism arose and the impact that had on the foundation of a nuns order in Buddhism and subsequently. As well as the development of Buddhism in India and the role women played in its foundation, we will examine Buddhism in China, Japan and the West, including Canada. Course Objectives: by the end of this course you should be able to: 1. Identify and explain the important role women have played in Buddhism 2. Identify and explain the challenges women have faced to become ordained 3. Identify and explain the ongoing challenges faced by Buddhist nuns 4. Identify and explain the way Buddhist nuns have responded to these challenges 5. Identify changes in the gender structure of Buddhism in the modern period and in its transmission to the West. 6. Identify some major female Buddhists within the tradition 7. Become familiar with the many women who are currently shaping Buddhism in Canada Required texts: There is no text for this course. Course Requirements 1. The focus of this course is on the articles and discussion of them and the ideas they raise. Students will read the article(s) for the class and place a summary not a blow by blow summary of 3 points that are being made in the article and of 2-3 questions that the article raised in the student s mind. These summaries are worth 36% of the final grade. The objectives of these summaries are to: a. Help students with reading comprehension b. Help students to learn how to extract the core elements of an article/argument c. Help students contextualize what they read d. Help students develop key points for discussion
2 e. Help students become aware of issues in the study of women in religion The length of the summary should be about 2-3 pages per article, typed, double-spaced. The student response should pay proper attention to grammar, punctuation and spelling so that the marker can assess the student s level of writing skills and make suggestions for improvement. Student comments on the material should demonstrate their understanding of it. Students may not use internet materials for these assignments. Opinions should be informed by their readings, the text and lectures. These summaries will form the basis of class discussion so the students should bring a copy of their summary to class. Assignments are due by 11:30 AM on the date of the lecture for that day. No assignments will be accepted after the drop box closes. Students should ensure they have sufficient time as clocks vary in time and the drop box cut off time may not correspond to your clock. Further, students should be aware that all submissions to any drop box are time-stamped. Thus, depositing it in the incorrect drop box by mistake will not help if the time-stamp is after the box closes. 2. In class discussion (14%). Students will discuss the questions and issues raised in their reading of the article(s). Students are encouraged to share their ideas based upon their academic readings in any areas they have studied that may prove helpful to the group. The focus is collaborative. The professor will contribute as well but should be seen primarily as a resource for information and current scholarly understanding of information or issues raised. 10 minutes or so before class ends, students will write a short reflection on the discussion or any conclusions made by the group and their perspective on it to be handed in. 3. Research workshop. Students will do research on an area of their choice. An appointment to discuss this research topic should be made with the professor for some time in the first six weeks of the course. An outline will be prepared for the professor s approval (10%). The student will describe their thesis and research to the group which will provide feedback in terms of suggestions, issues to think about and possible ways of proceeding (20%). Workshops are considered to be part of the discussion requirements and students are expected to attend and support their colleagues. 4. On the last day of class students will submit an academic paper based upon their research and workshop feedback (20%). The paper should be in proper academic form and submitted via dropbox no later than 11:30PM on the due date (Nov. 29 th ). Students should review the materials on Academic Dishonesty and Policy 71. Students are allowed to miss 1 summary and 1 discussion without penalty. Any additional absences must be supported by medical documentation or documentation regarding an emergency situation. Students who do not supply documentation will lose the value of the assignment There are no extra assignments that may be done as a substitute for a poor performance. Please note the following important information:
