About

Footnotes is a series of short lectures or conversations on research in the field of Buddhist Studies. Created by Frances Garrett, a professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Toronto, with occasional guest hosts, some episodes are summaries or discussions of articles or book chapters from academic work in the field, and some episodes feature interviews and guest hosts related to events and courses at the University of Toronto. We aim to make Buddhist Studies research freely accessible to students and the public.

Footnotes was made possible by a grant from eCampusOntario and also receives support from the Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Centre for Buddhist Studies at the University of Toronto. Audio editing has been done by Jesse Whitty and Frances Garrett.
