Thomas Buckley

Thomas Crowell-Taylor "Tim" Buckley (May 28, 1942 – April 16, 2015)[1] was an American anthropologist and Buddhist monastic best known for his long-term ethnographic research with the Yurok Indians of northern California,[2] his early work in the anthropology of reproduction, including menstruation and culture[3] and for his major reevaluation of the work of Alfred L. Kroeber.[4]

He received his Ph.D. in anthropology in 1982 from the University of Chicago, where he studied under Raymond D. Fogelson.

His decades-long fieldwork with the Yuroks, beginning in 1976 (following upon Buddhist training in California under Shunryu Suzuki, 1965–71), culminated in his ethnographic monograph Standing Ground, published in 2002. (For this publication he had an honorable mention in the Victor Turner Prize award by the Society for Humanistic Anthropology.)

Harry Roberts (1906–81), a Yurok-trained spiritual teacher from whom Buckley learned, adopted him as his nephew in 1971.

Buckley taught anthropology and American Indian studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, for many years and at other institutions as a visiting professor. On January 22, 2013 he was ordained as a Soto Zen Buddhist priest, Jokan Zenshin, by the Rev. Peter Schneider at Beginner's Mind Zen Center in Northridge, California, and established a lay community group, Great River Zendo, in midcoast Maine.

gollark: With the other mods I at least have to expend a bit of intellectual effort on setting up a small production chain to make gravel and feed it to sieves and craft pieces into ore (and then my entire ore processing system is quite complex but that's not needed).
gollark: Exactly!
gollark: The solar panels are just multiblocks which sit there making arbitrary amounts of power for no particular reason. There's a void *resource* miner which is just the void ore miner but for grass and obsidian and stuff, which is also a boring way to avoid making any production for diverse arbitrary resources you might need but is also required for the ET stuff because it makes "mica".
gollark: The advanced ones are an add-on.
gollark: The pack's overall tiers at least require fairly diverse things on each tier. The inscribers would, if I cared about that, be interesting to automate through ME subnetting and such. Thermal Expansion has fairly weak gating (internally) behind hardened glass stuff.
