Vic Mansfield was a professor of physics and astronomy at Colgate University. Along with a wide range of science courses, he taught courses focusing on Tibetan Buddhism and Jungian psychology. He is an award-winning teacher who published scores of technical articles in science and several dozen interdisciplinary papers connecting physics to Tibetan Buddhism and depth psychology. For nearly four decades, he practiced and studied with spiritual leaders in the U.S., Europe, and India.
On July 10, 2009, the inaugural Victor Mansfield Memorial Speaker Series will take place from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM in the Human Services Building, Ithaca, NY. The goal of the Speaker Series is to honor the memory and further the intellectual work of Vic Mansfield (1941-2008). Each year the series will host a Western scholar who has enhanced the study of Tibetan Buddhism. This year’s scholar is Dr. B. Alan Wallace, Founder and Director of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies.
The Speaker Series events are free to the public. Donations are welcomed. For more information click here.
