> The Journal of Progressive Buddhism is Seeking Members for its Editorial 
> Board
>
> Location: Lebanon
> Date Submitted: 2007-03-31
> Announcement ID: 156190
>
> The newly-created, fully-online, Journal of Progressive Buddhism, based in 
> Lebanon, is currently seeking members for its editorial board.
>
> The peer-reviewed journal will serve as the main scholarly output of the 
> online-based “Buddhist Society of Lebanon,” 
> (http://www.bsoleb.org) the first Buddhist society in that country.
>
> "Progressive Buddhism," as seen by the Society, is a method which takes 
> the best of the Buddhist body of teachings and keeps what is most 
> appropriate for a rational and fulfilling way of life. A “Statement 
> of Principles” is available on the society’s webpage 
> (http://www.bsoleb.org/statement.htm).
>
> The journal and the society are unique in Lebanon and the scholarly 
> journal, as far as I know, is unique in the Middle East as well.
>
> All papers submitted to the journal will undergo a rigorous review by at 
> least two readers following the double-blind process. Reports will be 
> expected in all three cases of clear acceptance, conditional acceptance, 
> and rejection.
>
> As soon as the editorial board is ready, a call for papers will be issued 
> inviting submissions dealing with the challenges offered by contemporary 
> Buddhist practices, mainly, but not exclusively, in non-Buddhist 
> countries, and the need—if indeed such a need is found—to 
> critically re-assess Buddhist scriptures, teachings, and practices at the 
> beginning of the twenty-first century.
>
> Editorial board membership requirements are:
>
> • A Ph.D. in a related field (Religion, Far-Eastern Studies, 
> Philosophy, Critical Theory, Sociology, Comparative Studies, Psychology, 
> etc.);
> • A genuine interest in seeing Buddhism develop as a viable way of 
> thinking and way of life in a rational, secular world.
>
> If you are interested in joining the journal’s board, please send a 
> curriculum vitae along with your area(s) of expertise.
