Anne Blackburn Visit to CU a Success
Anne Blackburn's lecture on "Buddhist Diplomacy in Colonial Southern Asia" had a wonderful turnout on Thursday night, October 7 in the British Studies Library on the fifth floor of Norlin. There were approximately 30 people in attendance, including faculty, graduate students, undergraduates and alumnae from several departments at CU: Religious Studies, Anthropology, History, and Geography. A colloquium luncheon earlier that day brought together a dozen graduate students in Religious Studies and Anthropology with Professor Blackburn for a thought-provoking discussion on religion, identity, and modernity in South and Southeast Asia.
Many thanks to the sponsors of Professor Blackburn's visit:Â
Center for Asian Studies, Graduate Committee on the Arts and Humanities, and the Department of Religious Studies.
