There will not be a December 2015 meeting of the Columbia University Seminar on Neo-Confucian Studies this year. Below, however, is a tentative schedule for our Spring 2016 semester.  Note that to avoid scheduling conflicts with the AAS, our April session is not on the first Friday of the month.

• Friday, February 5, 2016.  Pierce Salguero, Penn State Abingdon.  “Chinese Buddhist Notions of the Body.”
• Friday, March 4, 2016.  Peter Zarrow, University of Connecticut.
• Friday, April 22.  Brook Ziporyn, University of Chicago.

Our sessions usually meet from 3:30 to 5:30pm in the Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University.   Papers will be circulated in advance.

All are welcome to attend.   Please feel free to forward this message to interested colleagues.  Please also join us after the seminar for dinner at a location to be announced.
