An interdisciplinary conference, “Art History, Buddhist Studies, Tibet: New

sponsored by Princeton University, are the focus of the conference on
Saturday and Sunday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. each day.  Respondents to papers
are senior scholars from the U.S.: Janet Gyatso (Hershey Professor of
Buddhist Studies, Harvard Divinity School), Marylin Rhie (Jesse Wells Post

and the Department of Religion.  Support is also provided by the Henry Luce
Foundation, which sponsored the Tibet Site Seminar in 2007.
