CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
Event: North American Graduate Student Conference in Buddhist Studies
Location: University of California, Berkeley
Dates: April 17-19, 2009

The graduate students of the Group in Buddhist Studies at the  
University of California Berkeley are happy to announce the above  
event, to be held at UC Berkeley April 17-19, 2009. We are soliciting   
paper proposals from graduate students on any aspect of the Buddhist  
tradition. We will select approximately 15 papers to be presented at  
the conference. Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes, and there  
will be faculty respondents for each of several panels, to be arranged  
thematically and/or geographically depending on the submissions.

FUNDING
The conference organizers will cover the costs of lodging and meals at  
UC Berkeley for all students presenting papers. We cannot, however,  
cover travel costs, which must be obtained from your home institution  
or another source. Please submit a proposal only if you are confident  
of being able to cover your travel to the conference. Non-presenting  
students able to arrange their own lodging are also welcome to attend.  
If you are planning to attend the conference but are not presenting,  
please register by contacting us before March 1st, 2009.

DEADLINES
Interested graduate students should submit a paper proposal of  
approximately 500 words by October 15th, 2008. Presenters will be  
notified by December 15th. The final paper must be submitted no later  
than March 1st, 2009 so as to allow time for the respondents to  
prepare their remarks.
