## [BUDDHIST STUDIES FORUM](/buddhist-studies-forum)

## SPEAKER: Amy Langenberg, Eckerd College/HDS

Amy Paris Langenberg is a specialist in classical South Asian Buddhism with a focus on monasticism, gender, sexuality, and the body. She also conducts ethnographic research on contemporary Buddhist feminisms, contemporary female Buddhist monasticism, and, more recently, sexual abuse in American Buddhism. She is currently interested in how notions of agency, autonomy, freedom, and consent function in contemporary religious communities, and the role of affect, the body, and emotion in religious life.

*This event is co-sponsored by the Harvard Divinity School, the Department of South Asian Studies, and the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute.*
