The Tibet Site Seminar was a four-year project (2005-2008) culminating in a one-month site-seminar in central and western Tibet during the summer of 2007. Twelve students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in North American universities in art history, Buddhist studies, and Asian studies took part. The core faculty for the seminar were drawn from around the world and included scholars in art history, Buddhist studies, and Tibetan studies. The project was directed by Stephen F. Teiser and administered by Princeton University, with funding from the Henry Luce Foundation, the Silkroad Foundation, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, and Princeton University.

A public conference with a keynote address by Deborah Klimburg-Salter, papers by the participants in the seminar, and responses from senior scholars in the field took place March 7-9, 2008, at Princeton University. For further details, see the conference webpage. Aimed at furthering the development of art history and Buddhist studies, the Tibet Site Seminar brought together faculty and students from east and west in an interdisciplinary and collaborative effort.
