Sara L. McClintock, Assistant Professor (2005). Sara McClintock received her BA from Bryn Mawr College, her MTS from Harvard Divinity School, and her PhD in Religion from Harvard University. She has also spent time as a research scholar at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies in Sarnath, India and at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Her research focuses on the philosophical traditions of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, with special interests in the rhetorical nature of Buddhist conceptions of reason and the moral philosophy of Buddhist narrative literature. She teaches courses on Indian religions, Buddhism, Buddhist narrative and Tibetan language.
Her book manuscript Omniscience and the Rhetoric of Reason explores the ways that Buddhist argumentation about omniscience reflects a contextual notion of both reason and authority. She is the editor (with Georges Dreyfus) of The Svatantrika-Prasangika Distinction: What Difference Does a Difference Make? (Wisdom Publications, 2002). She is working to develop tools for teaching Tibetan language, and has created a video podcast, Jor Lok, to teach Tibetan spelling and pronunciation. She is also the chair of the planning committee for the XVth Congress of the International Association of Buddhist Studies, to be held at Emory University in June 2008.
