Stephanie Balkwill is an Assistant Professor of Religion and Culture and East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Winnipeg in Winnipeg, Canada. Her work explores the connection between women, politics, and Buddhism in China’s Northern and Southern Dynasties and argues that women gained increased social prestige and political influence through their affiliation with Buddhist institutions and ideas during China’s early medieval period. She is currently working on two major projects: 1) a critical history of the Buddhist activities of Northern Wei Empress Dowager Ling (d. 529); 2) a literary study of women’s involvement in the production of texts related to the Mahāyāna ideal of female-to-male sex change as it was known, in China and in Chinese, between the 4th and 6th centuries. | ||

Her Ph.D. thesis highlights the diversity of early Buddhist views on the central authority of Buddhism. Through stories surrounding the disobedient disciple Devadatta and the foremost disciple Śāriputra, she investigates different aspects of how the Buddha’s authority was understood, consolidated, challenged, and inherited in narratives. | ||
