SUMMARY:In the Forest of the Blind: The Eurasian Journey of Faxian's Records of Buddhist Kingdoms
DESCRIPTION:Matthew King is an Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies and Director of Asian Studies at the University of California\, Riverside.  He is also a visiting scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute for 2022-2023. His research examines the social history of knowledge in Buddhist scholastic networks extending across the Tibeto-Mongolian frontiers of the late Qing empire and its revolutionary ruins. Much of his published work has focused on encounters between Buddhist scholasticism\, science\, humanism\, and state socialism in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He is also broadly engaged with methodological revision in the study of religion and Buddhist Studies\, and in revisionist theoretical projects associated with the critical Asian humanities. \nKing’s first book Ocean of Milk\, Ocean of Blood: A Mongolian Monk in the Ruins of the Qing Empire (Columbia University Press\, 2019)\, was awarded the American Academy of Religion Excellence in the Study of Religion: Textual Studies book award\, the Central Eurasian Studies Society’s 2020 Best Book in History and Humanities\, and the International Convention of Asia Scholars Book Prize (Specialist Publication). \nFor more information and to register\, please visit this link. \n
