Please join us at 3 pm on May 19th for a Zoom meeting for the and final sixth installment of this year’s series on posthumanism and Buddhism. After a year of thought-provoking presentations and rich conversation, we invite you to join our our speakers for a round-table conversation. What common threads did you hear? How did these research presentations and discussions impact your thinking about the anthropocene and climate change? What do Buddhist studies researchers say about the place of humans in multispecies environments?

We are deeply grateful that Henry Shiu, Shi Wu De Assistant Professor in Chinese Buddhist Studies at Emmanuel College in the University of Toronto, will join our panel for this event.

If you need to refresh your memories about the series or perhaps you missed one of the previous talks, please visit our YouTube playlist for video recordings of the previous talks.

This event is co-sponsored by the Religion in the Public Sphere initiative of the Department for the Study of Religion in the University of Toronto. The  series is organized by Rory Lindsay, Assistant Professor, and Frances Garrett, Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies in the Department for the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto.

The University of Toronto operates on land that for thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and  the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. Learn more about this history.
