Francisca Cho, PhD, is Professor of Buddhist Studies at Georgetown University. Her recent books, Religion and Science in the Mirror of Buddhism (with Richard Squier, Routledge Press, 2016), and Seeing Like the Buddha: Enlightenment through Film (SUNY Press, 2017) are both concerned with Buddhist theories of the imagination in their application to contemporary phenomena. She also works on methods in the study of religion, and is currently interested in the application of systems thinking to Buddhism and religions generally.
In this interview, she discusses taking a Buddhist perspective on the dialogue between Buddhism and Science.
