Feminism in Buddhism Dallas Johnson and Peder Harvey   (SSC 200 C2)Advisor:  Dr. Laura Leming, FMI● Anthropologist Michelle Hannah (2010) focuses on how feminism is intermingled in Buddhism and how this affects how these practices are felt throughout the world.● A niche group can influence people’s thoughts and clear any misconceptions they may have through living their lives. ● Globalization the teachings and true beliefs of a culture can spread and how it can influence knowledge throughout the world● Sociologist Khun Eng Kuah-Pearce (2015) did  extensive interviews with 22 Buddhist women who belonged to communities for 20+ years.  She concluded that  Buddhist women tend to engage in compassionate volunteerism.● This repeated act of compassion created a new social structure within  communities - enabling them to become more confident and gain a postmodern feminist outlook in their families and societies○ This study shows that a positive effect  of feminism can be an outcome of compassionate Buddhist values
