Kitae Kwon, Lt. Colonel of ROK Army & Buddhist Monk
Prof. Alexander Soucy of Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Canada, will speak about Buddhist modernity in Vietnam, not as persistence nor resurgence of the pre-modern, but as something that needs to be understood as new – as much owing to the structures and assumptions of modernity as to the power of the enchanted past.
