The Society for Tantric Studies Proceedings (2016)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will contain a selection of papers presented at the 2016 meeting of the Society for Tantric Studies in Flagstaff, Arizona, September 23–25. In this three-day conference, scholars from around the world, specializing in different areas and disciplines, came together to share their recent research into Tantric Studies. Although limited to those who participated in the actual meeting, this issue will be of great interest to those interested in the most recent research and methodologies in Asian studies, Yoga, Tantra, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, History of Religions, Anthropology, Gender Studies, Embodiment, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, Ritual Studies, Traditional Medicine, and other areas.
