Review of Zen Past and Present by Eric Cunningham

Sarah Boedicker, Wittenberg University

Sarah Boedicker is an upcoming senior at Wittenberg University, and an East Asian studies major. Some of the other academic topics that she works with are Women’s Studies, Sociology, and music, and she truly enjoys being able to tie all of these topics together as she studies at Wittenberg. As a result, some of the topics in East Asian Studies that most pique her interests are women’s issues, histories, and topics, and philosophical traditions, such as Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. After she graduates, she plans on applying to a number of graduate programs to refine all of her various interests into an ultimate career goal, in whatever field she ultimately ends up in.
