(Asian independent) The Winter School in Buddhist Textual Scholarship is an intensive teaching program organized jointly by academics of the EPHE-PSL (Paris), the EFEO and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). It is offered to international postgraduate students carrying out research in the domain of Buddhist Studies, and will provide a solid grounding into philology, codicology, and epigraphy. Its focus
will be on primary sources transmitted across the Buddhist world, with close consideration of their material dimension, their contexts
of production, and their socio-religious functions. The course will introduce students to fieldwork and will allow them to hone their
broader methodological approach as well as the skills specific to their area of research. The Winter School has a transregional
dimension, with lecturers specializing in South Asia, Southeast Asia, China and Tibet. The Winter School is organised by Gregory Kourilsky (EFEO), Costantino Moretti (EFEO), Marta Sernesi (EPHE) and Vincent Tournier (LMU). It will be held from February 24 to March 1, 2025 at the EFEO centre in Chiang Mai (Thailand). Tuition, lodging and lunch are free of charge. Students interested in participating in the winter school are invited to consult the details of the program from 25 October on the website of the EFEO and to complete the online application form: https://forms.efeo.fr/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=725991&lang=fr The deadline for applications is 25 November 2024.
