Your Life of Undervalued International Programs

[Balatro]

An interesting conversation arose between a colleague and myself over lunch, namely - undervalued (or really, underrepresented) international programs in religious studies.

The ground rules we set were pretty simple - the program has to be, for all purposes, outside of the Western Hemisphere - basically North America, Australia, and Western Europe.

Religious studies for our definition includes closely related interdisciplinary subjects - philosophy of religion, anthropology of religion, sociology of religion, psychology of religion, etc. We also included (for obvious reasons, we feel) such fields as theology.

Academy of Korean Studies

Chinese University of Hong Kong

Kathmandu University

University of Hong Kong

University of Mumbai

University of Cape Town

The following is my short list but admittedly, I'm a little biased as my focus is primarily within Buddhism - more specifically, Buddhist-Christian dialogue and monasticism.

I'd like to hear from others regarding programs they looked into (maybe even passingly) and thought "Oh wow, that's quite the program! I'd be honored to work under XYZ (or attend ABC)."
