Buddhist philosophy in Australian universities

At present, there are roughly a dozen academics employed full-time in Australian universities who have a primary or significant professional commitment to Buddhist philosophy, who teach courses in the field and advise graduate students, and who have a track record of relevant publications. For the past several decades, three universities—Australian National University (ANU), Deakin University, and University of Tasmania (UTas)—have supported programs in Buddhist philosophy, although the field’s actual fortunes in these institutions have risen or fallen as a result of restructurings or departures when people have moved or retired.1
