Janet Gyatso is a Religious Studies scholar currently employed as the Hershey Professor of Buddhist Studies and the Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs at Harvard Divinity School.[1] She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Gyatso's research interests are in Buddhism and its relationship to Tibetan and South Asian civilizations.[1]
Education
Gyatso attended the University of California at Berkeley for her BA, MA and PhD. She received her PhD in 1981 in the department of South and Southeast Asian Languages and Literatures [at Berkeley,] with a dissertation on Thangtong Gyalpo and the visionary tradition of Tibetan Buddhism [2][3] Prior to her PhD, she completed her Master of Arts in 1974 in Sanskrit, and her Bachelor of Arts in 1972 in Religious studies at Berkeley.
Career
Gyatso currently teaches at Harvard Divinity School and has taught with Harvard since 2001.[4] She is the first Hershey Professor of Buddhist Studies at Harvard's Divinity School and is the Associate Dean of Faculty and Academic Affairs. Prior to teaching at Harvard, Gyatso taught at Amherst College (between 1987-2001), the University of Michigan (Spring 1999) and Wesleyan University (1986–87; Spring 1988).[3]
From 2000-2006, Gyatso held the position of president of the International Association of Tibetan Studies. From 2004-2010, she was co-chair of the Buddhism Section of the American Academy of Religion.[1]
Research
Gyatso is known for her work on Tibet, primarily through text analysis and has focused on the twelfth to eighteenth centuries, examining the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet and its eventual status as mainstream in Tibet. Her first monograph explored the writing of autobiography in Tibet, and translated and analysed one of its most beautiful examples, the visionary journals of 'Jigs med gling pa (Apparitions of the Self, Princeton, 1998). Her more recent book, Being Human in a Buddhist World, studied the relationship between Buddhism and medicine in early modern Tibet.[5] Her work has been credited by Barbara Gerke as helping to develop our understanding of the relationship between science and religion in early modern Tibetan culture.[6]
Gyatso has also edited a book entitled Women in Tibet, a compilation of essays on the topic.[7] Gyatso and her fellow editor Hannah Havnevik put this book together to draw attention to the lack of research in the area of women in Tibet.[7] A previous edited collection by Gyatso was "In the Mirror of Memory" (State University of New York Press, 1992), a study of the types of memory theorized and used in Buddhist practice. Other topics of interest have been the reception of Indian poetic theory in Tibetan literature, the nature of experience in Buddhist thought and practice, Buddhist monasticism, and Buddhist conceptions of sex and gender, including the "third sex." She is currently working on animal ethics.

Doris [Black] Frank, 88, Fled Pogroms and Found Vineyard
by Vineyard Gazette
Thursday, April 12, 2007 - 8:00pm
The family of Doris [Black] Frank is saddened to announce her death on Wednesday. She had been living for the last two and a half years in Brighton at Chestnut Park, an assisted living facility close to her daughter's home. She died peacefully of natural causes. She was 88.
Doris was born in the Ukraine, near Kiev, in 1918. With the rest of her immediate and some of her extended family, she fled the pogroms in 1921, moving across Europe in stealth until they finally sailed to Canada at some time in 1923. It is not certain if the port of sail was Liverpool, England or a port in Belgium.
Doris was raised and schooled in Montreal, where she lived with her two sisters, Fannie and Ray, and her parents Benjamin and Sosia Black. In 1939 she attended an adult's socialist tennis camp in upstate New York where she met her future husband, Gilbert Frank, to whom she was eventually married in 1941 in Montreal.
They settled in Philadelphia, Pa., where Doris gave birth to her son Daniel in 1944 and her daughter Janet in 1949. During these years, in addition to being a mother and housewife, Doris was active in the League of Women Voters and various leftist Jewish organizations. Following the example of members of Gilbert's family, including his second cousin Hattie Jacobs and her husband George, and later his sisters Rea and Selma Frank, Doris and Gilbert moved to the Vineyard in 1980. They lived there happily until Gilbert died in 2004.
Throughout her life, Doris was an observant Jew who cared passionately about the fate of the Jewish people, the state of Israel, and the learning of Hebrew and Yiddish culture. She and her husband were also avid lovers of nature and animals. They enjoyed the simple life they were able to achieve on the Vineyard, and continued to have a wide circle of friends and social causes in which they participated well into their 80s.
Survivors include her children Daniel Frank and Janet Gyatso, along with their respective spouses Doris Clerc and Charles Hallisey; her grandchildren Johanna, Jeremy, Michael and Zoey Frank, as well as Sean, Stephen and Gina Hallisey; her great grandchildren Ben, Jillian and Allison Troth; Gilbert's sister, Selma Frank of Vineyard Haven; and the following nieces and nephews who are children of her late sisters Fannie Silverman and Ray Yellin: Peretz, Ozzie, and Jerry Silverman, and Esther Wynn, Sorel Cohen, and Dorothy Yellin.
A funeral will be held on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at the Hebrew Cemetery in Vineyard Haven. Arrangements are under the care of the Chapman, Cole & Gleason Funeral Home, Oak Bluffs.

Doris [Black] Frank, 88, Fled Pogroms and Found Vineyard
by Vineyard Gazette
Thursday, April 12, 2007 - 8:00pm
The family of Doris [Black] Frank is saddened to announce her death on Wednesday. She had been living for the last two and a half years in Brighton at Chestnut Park, an assisted living facility close to her daughter's home. She died peacefully of natural causes. She was 88.
Doris was born in the Ukraine, near Kiev, in 1918. With the rest of her immediate and some of her extended family, she fled the pogroms in 1921, moving across Europe in stealth until they finally sailed to Canada at some time in 1923. It is not certain if the port of sail was Liverpool, England or a port in Belgium.
Doris was raised and schooled in Montreal, where she lived with her two sisters, Fannie and Ray, and her parents Benjamin and Sosia Black. In 1939 she attended an adult's socialist tennis camp in upstate New York where she met her future husband, Gilbert Frank, to whom she was eventually married in 1941 in Montreal.
They settled in Philadelphia, Pa., where Doris gave birth to her son Daniel in 1944 and her daughter Janet in 1949. During these years, in addition to being a mother and housewife, Doris was active in the League of Women Voters and various leftist Jewish organizations. Following the example of members of Gilbert's family, including his second cousin Hattie Jacobs and her husband George, and later his sisters Rea and Selma Frank, Doris and Gilbert moved to the Vineyard in 1980. They lived there happily until Gilbert died in 2004.
Throughout her life, Doris was an observant Jew who cared passionately about the fate of the Jewish people, the state of Israel, and the learning of Hebrew and Yiddish culture. She and her husband were also avid lovers of nature and animals. They enjoyed the simple life they were able to achieve on the Vineyard, and continued to have a wide circle of friends and social causes in which they participated well into their 80s.
Survivors include her children Daniel Frank and Janet Gyatso, along with their respective spouses Doris Clerc and Charles Hallisey; her grandchildren Johanna, Jeremy, Michael and Zoey Frank, as well as Sean, Stephen and Gina Hallisey; her great grandchildren Ben, Jillian and Allison Troth; Gilbert's sister, Selma Frank of Vineyard Haven; and the following nieces and nephews who are children of her late sisters Fannie Silverman and Ray Yellin: Peretz, Ozzie, and Jerry Silverman, and Esther Wynn, Sorel Cohen, and Dorothy Yellin.
A funeral will be held on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at the Hebrew Cemetery in Vineyard Haven. Arrangements are under the care of the Chapman, Cole & Gleason Funeral Home, Oak Bluffs.
