 sia at U of TChristoph Emmrich (discussant), Director of the Centre for S
 outh Asian Studies; Associate Professor, Department for the Study of Rel
 igion, University of TorontoThis talk will discuss Dr. Rachelle Saruya's 
 research on Myanmar Buddhist nuns’ formal and informal education. Dr. Saru
 ya focuses on fourteen Buddhist nuns at one nunnery in Sagaing, Myanmar,
  their experiences with education and monastic training, and their spaces
  of choice or convenience that help mediate these practices. By allowing t
 he spatial aspects of one nunnery to organize her investigation, Dr. Saru
 ya is able to move through each building, encountering nuns at different 
 life stages and with various aspirations, creating a much more complex pi
 cture than if she had used what might be called an “ideal” renunciant with
  a linear and straightforward educational path. More specifically, this a
 pproach enables her to touch on themes of secular vs. monastic education,
  child nuns vs. older ones, disability and minority status, reformed nun
 neries vs. old institutions, and lineages, among other matters. While ex
 amining this nunnery, Dr. Saruya also explores the connections this nunne
 ry has to two seminary type nunneries and monasteries in the area that hel
 p in the nun-making process.  Rachelle Saruya is a postdoctoral fellow in 
 the Department of Historical Studies at UTM where she is teaching two cour
 ses and embarking on a new research project centered on child-wishing ritu
 als in contemporary Myanmar. She is originally from the San Francisco Bay 
 Area.→ Register \n\nSponsors \nCentre for South Asian Studies, Southeast
