TIBETAN IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION IN THE DIASPORA

Honoring the past, influencing the present, inspiring the future

The Dalai Lama Institute for Higher Education will host a national bilingual conference on September X-X 2017. The conference will be the first in a series of scholarly engagements on Tibetan Identity Construction in the Diaspora. By bringing together a range of experienced and emerging scholars, Tibetan and non-Tibetan, we hope to develop a research agenda and scholarly community that addresses meaningfully the challenges and opportunities Tibetans face.
