Dissertation Reviews Dot Org

It may be of some interest to know that a new website will be sharing reviews of academic dissertations online: http://dissertationreviews.org/

Although the dissertations will be from many areas of study, of interest to us is the section on Tibetan and Himalayan Studies. See the review of Dr. Nicole Willock’s dissertation on the sixth Tséten Zhapdrung Jikmé Rikpé Lodrö:  Tibetan Buddhist Polymath in Modern China.

Also see Dr. Nancy Lin’s Adapting the Buddha’s Biographies: A Cultural History of the Wish-Fulfilling Vine in Tibet, Seventeenth to Eighteenth Centuries.
