Tessa J. Bartholomeusz Lecture Series
The Tessa J. Bartholomeusz Lecture in
Religion has been established by the faculty of the Department of
Religion, Florida State University, in memory of our late colleague.
Tessa Bartholomeusz (1958-2001) came to Florida State as assistant
professor in 1993, following an appointment at Indiana University/Purdue
University at Indianapolis and the completion of a Ph.D. from the
University of Virginia in 1991. She was promoted to associate professor
with tenure in 1997, and to full professor in 2001. While at Florida
State, Professor Bartholomeusz established a reputation as a leading
interpreter of Buddhism through such works as Women Under the Bo Tree (Cambridge, 1994), Buddhist Fundamentalisms and Minority Identities in Sri Lanka (State University of New York, 1998), In Defense of Dharma
(Curzon Press, 2002), and numerous articles in scholarly journals.
Professor Bartholomeusz also received a number of awards for teaching at
Florida State University, served as treasurer for the American
Institute of Sri Lanka Studies and as the book review editor for the Journal of Asian Studies.
The Tessa J. Bartholomeusz Lecture is supported by the Department of
Religion through its account at the Florida State University Foundation.
Anyone wishing to join in supporting this project is invited to contact
the Department of Religion at 850-644-1020, or to speak with one of
