Professor Tuttle studies the history of twentieth-century Sino-Tibetan relations as well as Tibet’s relations with the China-based Manchu Qing Empire; the role of Tibetan Buddhism in these historical relations is central to his research. He is the Leila Hadley Luce Assistant Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies, Columbia University.</p><p>His publications include&nbsp;Tibetan Buddhists in the Making of Modern China&nbsp;(2005). His current research project focuses on the support that Tibetan Buddhist institutions have received from the governments of China from the 17th to 20th century and how this support, along with economic growth in the Sino-Tibetan borderlands, has fueled expansion and renewal of these institutions into the contemporary period.</p><p>This event is scheduled for 4:00pm on November 4th in the British Studies Library on the fifth floor of Norlin Library. It is part of the CHA Lecture Series, related to its theme on China for the 2010-2011 academic year.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 04 Nov 2010 06:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 376 at /rlst Maori scholar Roger Maaka to lecture at CU on November 3 /rlst/2010/11/03/maori-scholar-roger-maaka-lecture-cu-november-3 <span>Maori scholar Roger Maaka to lecture at CU on November 3 </span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2010-11-03T00:00:00-06:00" title="Wednesday, November 3, 2010 - 00:00">Wed, 11/03/2010 - 00:00</time> </span> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/rlst/taxonomy/term/26" hreflang="en">events2010</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-above"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-text d-flex align-items-center" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p>Roger Maaka, Professor of Maori and Indigenous Studies at the Eastern Institute of Technology in New Zealand, will give a lectur at CU on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 5:30 pm in Humanities 250, on "The Maori Experience of Christianity: &nbsp;A Historical Overview and Contemporary Comparative Perspectives."&nbsp; His visit is sponsored by the American Academy of Religion International Scholar Series and the Department of Religious Studies at CU.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 03 Nov 2010 06:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 374 at /rlst Anne Blackburn Visit to CU a Success /rlst/2010/10/07/anne-blackburn-visit-cu-success <span>Anne Blackburn Visit to CU a Success </span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2010-10-07T00:00:00-06:00" title="Thursday, October 7, 2010 - 00:00">Thu, 10/07/2010 - 00:00</time> </span> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/rlst/taxonomy/term/26" hreflang="en">events2010</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-above"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-text d-flex align-items-center" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p>Anne Blackburn's lecture on "Buddhist Diplomacy in Colonial Southern Asia" had a wonderful turnout on Thursday night, October 7 in the British Studies Library on the fifth floor of Norlin.

Try using a blog. Blogs are an easy, fun way for students to share their research and writing with classmates. There are lots of benefits to blogging. Students write more dynamically when they know their peers are reading. Plus, they get immediate peer feedback on their ideas. Anyone in the course can raise questions and debate points in the comments section of a post--a great way to jumpstart discussion prior to class! In this workshop, we'll talk about the pros and cons of using a course blog; consider what makes an effective blog assignment; compare blogs to other online venues, such as threaded discussions on CU Learn; and demo the free tools available on WordPress.</p><p>When?&nbsp;&nbsp; Tuesday, June 29th at 3:00-4:30pm<br>Where?&nbsp;&nbsp; Altas 200</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Tue, 29 Jun 2010 06:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 366 at /rlst Theta Alpha Kappa Induction Ceremomy on Friday, April 30th /rlst/2010/04/30/theta-alpha-kappa-induction-ceremomy-friday-april-30th <span>Theta Alpha Kappa Induction Ceremomy on Friday, April 30th </span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2010-04-30T00:00:00-06:00" title="Friday, April 30, 2010 - 00:00">Fri, 04/30/2010 - 00:00</time> </span> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/rlst/taxonomy/term/26" hreflang="en">events2010</a> <a href="/rlst/taxonomy/term/16" hreflang="en">student/alumni news</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-above"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-text d-flex align-items-center" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p>Theta Alpha Kappa (TAK) will hold its Induction Ceremomy on Friday, April 30th at 5:00pm in Humanities 350 (library on third floor).
