Rethink what counts as scholarship

August 5, 2021 413 Comments

What would you like to do in Buddhist Studies that you feel you cannot or should not do now?

  • It’d be nice if translations of Buddhist texts were as well-respected as analytical works. I want to translate texts into English, but because it’s not recognized as “research,” I am not doing such projects right now. 

What directions in the field are most exciting to you, and why?

  • The collaborative model of conferences (e.g. Gayley/Townsend’s Lotsawa Translation conference in Boulder 2018, Chien et al.’s Buddhist Pedagogy Workshop at AAR 2019-, Garrett/Richardson/Moss’ Buddhist Pedagogy conference in Toronto in 2020). These formats resulted in much better scholarly production than the standard paper reading format of the AAR and traditional conferences. They allow for real conversations, collaboration, and exchange between diverse scholars.
  • Rise in conversations on race, gender, sexuality, privilege, etc. 

How does the status quo in Buddhist studies limit or enable your ability to think critically and creatively about the future?

  • The concept of “rigorous” scholarship is narrow and prevents projects that reach a wide audience in an engaging manner. We need to rethink what counts as scholarship. 
  • The one author one book model — outdated and doesn’t make for the best scholarship
  • Pre-formed panel format — this just reinforces current networks of people (often the most privileged) and old conversations. Open CFPs tend to give voice to new and more diverse voices.

  39. Our invoices range from credit card payments, mortgages, telephones, and utility payments.

    Fundamentally, loan issuers would come for their money in case you don’t make payments on time.
    Every collection adds to your credit report and can cripple your
    loan negotiation ability. At the most recent FICO versions, paid collections will not hurt
    your score, but outstanding ones surely will.
    If among your accounts goes into group, your credit score plummets depending on a few elements.
    If your score is high, you are going to lose more things than someone with
    a small number of points. Should you skip a payment, your creditor would record it tto the agencies as”late payment.” However, if you don’t pay penalties or bring your account to standing, you might encounter a collection. Immediately yyou
    experience a set; your crediit score would drop drastically.
    Resolving a set is a painstaking procedure, hence
    making timely payments is obviously an perfect way.

    credit repair company thqt was established in 1989. The organization claims that
    most consumers vikew tangible results after the first 30 days
    of use. Additionally, the company asserts that clients use
    their solutions for just six months to realize full results.
    When utilizing skies blue, you can expect tto benefit the
    couple’s reduction, online credit checks, and
    monitoring. Durfing your membership, you are able to cancel oor pause the support by
    calling customer support. If you’re unhappy with the service, you’ll be given a
    complete refund provided that you claim it within 90 days.
    Besides the advantages, skies blue has some associated drawbacks too.
    Before beginning the credit repair process, you’ll have to pay $39.95 for
    recovery of your credit report. Despite not having the assurance for results, you
    are going to need to pay $69 to set up the procedure.
    The sad part is that you can cover mobths without
    seeing considerable progress inn your report.
    You should make yopur decisions carefully since moving through the peocess of credit repair is not cheap.

  189. I am truly delighted to glance at this webpage posts which contains lots of valuable facts,
    thanks for providing these kinds of data.

  192. I think that what you composed was very reasonable.
    But, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier title?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, however suppose you added a headline that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Rethink what counts as scholarship – Collective Buddhist Studies Manifesto is a
    little vanilla. You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and
    watch how they create article headlines to get people to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

    paragraph is actually a good post, keep it up.
