Brandon University students studying Buddhism have found a wide audience for some of their assignments this year — they’re being shared as blog posts on the website of the Canadian Journal of Buddhist Studies.
The assignments require students to choose a Buddhist doctrine, express it with a piece of art, and then write a critical reflection paper that elaborates on their artistic process and how their composition expresses their chosen doctrine, explains Dr. Alison Marshall, a religion professor at BU who is teaching the students in a second-year online asynchronous Buddhism course.
