Interaction Rescaled: How Monastic Debate Became a Diasporic Pedagogy

Abstract

Rather than assume the relevance of a priori scalar distinctions (micro‐, macro‐, meso‐), this article examines scale as an emergent dimension of sociospatial practice in educational institutions. Focusing on Buddhist debate at Tibetan monasteries in India, I describe how this educational practice has been placed as a rite of institution within the perimeter of Sera Monastery in India and rescaled into a more expansive diasporic pedagogy by reformers like the Dalai Lama.
