Women in Theravāda Traditions with Natalie Fisk Quli
The Institute of Buddhist Studies is pleased to announce that Dr. Natalie Fisk Quli has been appointed to Core Faculty as an Associate Professor of Theravāda Studies. She has previously served as a Research Fellow for a number of years.
Dr. Quli earned her doctorate from the Graduate Theological Union and is an expert on Buddhism in the US and Canada, Theravāda studies, and current Buddhism in Sri Lanka.
She is intrigued by how Buddhist groups maintain, reconstruct, or even reinvent traditions in response to changing times and how hierarchies and power structures within these communities are formed. Additionally, she is interested in investigating the connections between them.
She has recently published articles such as “When White Buddhists ‘Don’t See Race” in Buddhadharma magazine and “A Brief Critical Appraisal of the Buddhist Modernism Paradigm” in the Routledge Handbook of Buddhist-Christian Studies. She will be offering a course on “Women in Theravāda Traditions” in the coming Spring.
After Dr. Richard Payne’s retirement, Dr. Quli will be assuming a greater responsibility in the production of the Pacific World Journal, which is the academic journal of the Institute of Buddhist Studies. She is currently the Senior Editor.
