CONFERENCE CONCLUDED ON REIMAGINING GENDER IN JAIN TRADITIONS AT LONG BEACH
The second annual conference in Jain Studies was held from April 6 to 8, 2025, co-organized by the Department of
Religious Studies, College of Liberal Arts, and Claremont School of Theology (CST).
The ceremony was attended by several distinguished members of the Jain community, including Dr. Jasvant Modi, Mr. Dilip Shah, Mr. Mahesh Wadher, Dr. Parveen Jain, and Mrs. Sushama Parekh. Attended by over a hundred participants, the ceremony celebrated nearly a decade of partnership-building between CST and the Jain community. At the event, Dr. Sulekh C Jain, Co-founder ISJS, recalled the important role of the ISJS and explained how many Jain scholars have participated in its immersive and experiential educational programs. A recitation of the Pāraśvanātha stotra by him brought the proceedings to a reverent close.
The theme of the first day was Bridging Devotion and Discourse; the second day was dedicated to academic explorations; and the discussion on the third day was based on Rituals, Reform, and Student Voices.
The third annual conference will be on Embodied Pluralism: Anekāntavāda from Philosophical Principles to Lived Experience.
