| |bio=Alan Cole received his Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from the University of Michigan in 1994. He then taught mainly at Lewis & Clark College (1994-2013). He retired early, in 2013, in order to spend more time writing, and in the hope of regaining a sense of freedom that academia had, slowly but surely, eaten into. This choice seems to have been fruitful since he recently published two new books -- ''Fetishizing Tradition: Desire and Reinvention in Buddhist and Christian Narratives'' (SUNY, 2015), and ''Patriarchs on Paper: A Critical History of Medieval Chan Literature'' (UCal Press, 2016) -- both of which lay out new and creative ways to think about old problems in Buddhism and Christianity.
