Steven Heine (born 1950), is a scholar in the field of Zen Buddhist history and thought,[1] particularly the life and teachings of Zen Master Dōgen (1200–1253). He has also taught and published extensively on Japanese religion and society in worldwide perspectives.
Teaching and research career
Heine lectured at Villanova University in Religious Studies from 1982 to 1987. In 1987, he became an assistant professor of religion at La Salle University and taught there until 1991 when he moved to Penn State University and became an associate professor of Religious Studies. He left Penn State University in 1997 to work as director of Florida International University's Asian Studies Program.[2] Since his arrival at FIU, Heine has expanded Asian Studies and helped facilitate its growth at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The program also has an extensive outreach component. He is editor of the Japan Studies Review and a review editor for Philosophy East and West.[3]
White Collar Zen
Heine also runs the White Collar Zen project which examines use of the principles of Zen Buddhism in relation to the contemporary workplace and professional leadership issues. In addition to the book White Collar Zen: Using Zen Principles to Overcome Obstacles and Achieve Your Goal (2005),[4] the project also includes a course on Asian Cultural Values in Business, first taught in 2006, sponsored by the Eugenio Pino Entrepreneurship Center at Florida International University,[5] as well as workshops and conferences.
