Tibetan Biography Conference held at Wolfson

Tibet has an unusually rich tradition of biographical writing, the larger part of which is still waiting to be explored.

The aim of the conference was to view Tibetan biographies and auto-biographies within the broader context of life-writing across the world and to explore new avenues of interpretation and understanding, addressing for instance literary theory, cross-cultural perspectives, art history, and the pragmatics of (re-)enactment of life-stories.
