Constance Kassor (she/her)

 

I teach courses on Buddhist thought and Asian religious traditions. My research primarily focuses on Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, and my forthcoming book, Accounting for Awakened Awareness, explores the Madhyamaka philosophy of the 15th-century Tibetan scholar Gorampa Sonam Senge.

 

I have spent several years living, studying, and working in Buddhist communities in India and Nepal. In addition to my scholarly publications, I’ve written for Lion’s Roar and Tricycle, and I am the book reviews editor for Buddhadharma.

 

I have also written and recorded several courses that are available online, including a course on Tibetan Buddhism for Yogic Studies, and courses on Asian religious traditions and Tibet for The Great Courses.

 

 

In my role as Special Assistant to the President at Lawrence, I am working to institutionalize programs that better support our students for future careers and life after graduation. My current projects include leading the development of a new humanities center on campus, managing a faculty development program to incorporate career discernment into the curriculum, and supporting the campus community in understanding AI to prepare graduates for emerging careers.
