Dear List Members, I am organizing a panel on Buddhist responses to and interpretations of (Darwinian) Evolutionary Theory for the 2010 meeting of the American Academy of Religion (in Atlanta, GA), which has as its main theme "Science and Religion." I am seeking scholars who have researched this issue to participate in the panel. Currently, the papers cover, respectively, Chinese Buddhist and Japanese Buddhist responses to Darwinism before the "modern evolutionary synthesis" (of natural selection and Mendelian inheritance) of the late 1930s. Ideally we would structure this panel around Asia during that period, but the overall aim of the panel will be determined by its participants. If anyone on H-Buddhism might be interested in participating in such a panel, or might know someone who would, please feel free to respond to me off-list.
