Re: Prof. McDaniel to join the list?

Hi Eisel,

Prof. McDaniel is very welcome to join. I will be writing him soon. A
quick google search turned up the following:

<<Dr. Justin McDaniel received his Ph.D. from Harvard University's
Department of Sanskrit and Indian Studies in 2003. Presently he
teaches Buddhism and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of
California, Riverside. His research foci include Lao, Thai, Pali and
Sanskrit literature, Southeast Asian Buddhism, ritual studies,
manuscript studies, and Southeast Asian history.

Professor McDaniel lived and researched in South and Southeast Asia
for many years as a Social Science Research Council and Fulbright
Fellow, translator, volunteer teacher, and Buddhist monk. He is the
chair of the Thai, Lao, and Cambodian sections of the Association of
Asian Studies, and has worked and taught at monasteries through out
Thailand and Laos. His recent publications appear in the Journal of
the International Association of Buddhist Studies, the Journal of the
Siam Society, as well as contributions to collected articles on
Buddhism and Modernity, Fragile Palm-leaf Manuscript research, and
Pali literature in Laos and Thailand. At present he is finishing
writing the first major book on the history of Buddhist education in
Southeast Asia.>>

Members of this list are welcome to invite others to join. Just submit
to me their name and email address or have them contact me and I will
take care of the rest.

Best wishes,
Jim
