> I am writing to invite anyone to consider participating in a panel on
> Tibetan studies in Italy as part of the Tibetan and Himalayan Religions
> Group in the next meeting of the American Academy of Religion (AAR) in San
> Francisco, CA. Considering that this year the regional theme is religion
> in the Mediterranean, this panel is tentatively titled "Looking at Tibet
> from the 'Bel Paese': Reflections on Religion, Scholarship, and Popular
> Practice in Tibet and Italy."
>
> This panel will explore trends, ideas, and scholarship on the religions of
> Tibet and the Himalayas including Bön and Buddhist theory and praxis,
> ritual studies, art history, social science, and popular religion. Also,
> we welcome comparative studies exploring the intersections between Italian
> and Tibetan religious practice concerning lived religion, i.e., local
> cults of saints, relics, shrines, miracles, and other manifestations of
> religious devotion. Additionally, this panel could include papers that
> explore the contributions of major Italian figures and scholars from the
> early Jesuits to modern authors and teachers who lay the foundation of
> Tibetan Studies in Italy such as Professors Giuseppe Tucci (1894–1984),
> Luciano Petech (1914–2010), and Namkhai Norbu.
>
> If you are working on something related to these topics and would like to
> join this panel, please send an e-mail with the title and a 150 words
> abstract to me at a-terrone@northwestern.edu
