The University of Colorado, Denver announces the establishment of the
Bhagwan Suparshvanatha Endowed Chair in Jain Studies.
It is the first endowed chair of Religious Studies at CU Denver which is held by Dr. Steven M. Vose. The initiative opens doors for students, faculty, and the public to learn more about Jainism with a strong focus on nonviolence.
The Endowed Chair in Jain Studies will develop an interdisciplinary Jain Studies curriculum, offering a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses, including thesis supervision for master’s degree students, helping students to connect with Jain scholars around the world. In addition, the Endowed Chair will establish an on-campus lecture series to help people learn more about Jainism and Jain communities and explore how Jain ethics can contribute to the most pressing issues we face in the world today.
The Endowed Chair will also provide study abroad scholarships for students, grants for faculty to pursue research in India, and a two-year fellowship for a self-designed MA in Jain Studies and related fields, further reinforcing CU Denver’s strengths in social justice. The Endowed Chair in Jain Studies will also support seed grants to encourage faculty and students to explore Jainism and conduct research that aligns with Jain values.
