Matthew J Walton - "Protecting Buddhism: Ma Ba Tha and the Shaping of Moral Subjects in Myanmar"

Emerging during a period of significant political change and anxiety, Ma Ba Tha filled a religio-political vacuum in the country, enjoying widespread moral legitimacy–due to its respected monastic leadership and mission to protect Buddhism–and near-immunity in the political realm–due to its many patrons in the ruling government and military.

ISM Fellows Lunch Talk with Edwin Seroussi: Dreams of Spain: Sephardic Liturgies between Memorialization and Renewal

Descendants of the medieval Iberian Jewry settled throughout the Mediterranean and beyond since their late-15th century expulsions from the Peninsula (Sepharad).
