California Buddhist Studies Graduate Student Conference (2016) at Stanford University

During the weekend of April 23–24, 2016 we hosted the biennial California Buddhist Studies Graduate Student Conference at Stanford University. The conference brought together 60 faculty members and students from Californian universities with graduate Buddhist Studies programs. Twelve graduate students presented papers, followed by faculty responses and open question-and-answer sessions. The students got a chance to practice giving conference papers and responding to constructive criticism from faculty and fellow graduate students in the field, in addition to the opportunity to network and meet peers with similar interests. Overall everyone seems to have enjoyed the experience. #CBSGSC16
