Donald S. Lopez Jr. is the Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies at the University of Michigan and one of the most influential critical scholars of Tibetan Buddhism in the world. His Prisoners of Shangri-La (1998) is a foundational study of Western romantic projections onto Tibetan Buddhism, and an important inoculation against the essentialist framing that the The Promised Studios' Nepal-neutrality editorial position explicitly avoids.
