Course summary This course is aimed at students who are interested in building on an existing knowledge of Buddhism through academically rigorous study; students perhaps studied some Buddhism as an undergraduate and want to examine the religion further, or students are perhaps interested in Buddhism and have read up on the subject but feel the need to contextualise reading through scholarship; on the course students are guided through the weekly readings via unique learning materials originally prepared by Prof. Peter Harvey; these offer a commentary on the week's topic and provide questions which are the focus of twice-weekly asynchronous online discussions; these friendly and supportive discussions, moderated by expert tutors, are key to the course.
