6. JAIN ACADEMIC EDUCATION CONFERENCE AT THE JAINA CONVENTION 2019
|
|
Until recently, Jain Dharma was largely unheard of in North America—even within the academic community. To address
the misunderstanding it engendered and to share rationally the rich Jain philosophy in western academia, Jain
community has taken up the challenge to rectify this situation.
Fortunately, several visionary leaders and donors in India and the Jain diaspora in North America came forward and
started working to have a permanent presence of Jain Religion (for teaching and research) at several universities. We have
Professorships, Lectureships and Post Doc fellowships) at several prestigious universities.
To share these activities, progress and the plan for the future, two informative and interactive sessions have been planned
at the JAINA convention in Los Angeles. Sessions theme: Re-positioning Jainism in North America Through Academia. These sessions
are open to all; however, Session 2 on Saturday, July 6th from 1 pm to 4 pm requires pre-registration at the convention website:
