Vorschläge für die 16th Sakyadhita International Conference on Buddhist Women in Australien, 2019

The 16th Sakyadhita International Conference on Buddhist Women

June 23-28, 2019, Fairmont Resort, Blue Mountains, Australia

Call for Proposals

"New Horizons: Buddhist Women Rising to Challenges”

Whether Buddhism is relatively new to a country or has been there for thousands of years, rapidly changing conditions are creating great challenges for Buddhism. Some are the same as past challenges and some are new. Buddhism has always managed to adapt to new conditions, while balancing the values of Dharma with the demands of the present. This time, for the very first time in history, women are central to the challenge.

The Planning Committee of the 16th Sakyadhita International Conference is looking for proposals for paper presentations, workshops, and poster sessions for the Conference. This year, our paper presentation program will be much reduced (maximum 20 presentations will be accepted), as we will be adding more workshops, a new poster session, as well as interactions in various other formats. Those who are interested in presenting their thoughts related to our theme are most welcome to consider submitting a proposal. Fitting the theme are any genuine concerns and practical discussions on issues related to how Buddhist women would have risen to the challenges in the past and will continue to do so in response to the various forms of new challenges that the modern times present to us and ask us to solve. More personalized perspectives based on one’s own experiences will be welcome.

Proposals for papers, workshops, and poster sessions (250 words maximum) must be submitted by September 1, 2018. Proposals must include sender’s name, institutional affiliation, contact information (email, and phone number), and a short bio of the author in about 5 lines. Notifications of acceptance will be sent in October. The workshop presenters and poster presenters should submit their plan, and will receive further details upon having their initial proposals accepted. Upon acceptance, papers are due by January 15, 2019, and should not exceed 1,700, as the paper presentation time is set for 15 minutes. The final versions of these papers will be translated into several languages including Vietnamese, Korean, and Chinese, and posted on the conference website in advance and accessible to conference attendees. All speakers and workshop/poster presenters must register for the conference.

Proposals for papers, posters and workshops should be sent to paper@sakyadhita2019.org.au, workshop@sakyadhita2019.org.au, and poster@sakyadhita2019.org.au, respectively.

Further suggestions are welcome, and if you would like to show films please contact the planning team at program@sakyadhita2019.org.au.

If you have inquiries any other general matters other than those above mentioned, please contact info@sakyadhita2019.org.au.
