place colonial Korean Buddhism (1910-1945) in a transnational and global context. Eight scholars of Korean Buddhism will present papers on the individuals and organizations who traversed national and cultural boundaries during this period (see below). Professor
Richard Jaffe will give the keynote lecture on Japanese corporate pilgrimages to India in the mid-1920s to foreground how the resulting global networks were essential to the formation of modern Japanese Buddhist identity.
