Fabienne Jagou is a Lecturer at the Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO), where she has been a member since 2000. She is attached to the Institute of East Asia in Lyon, associated with the Center for Research on East Asian Civilizations (UMR 8155) and the Center for Himalayan Studies (UPR 299) of the CNRS. Since 2012, she has co-headed the EFEO's 'Systems of thought and practices: dissemination, exchange, adaptation' unit and served as an elected member of the EFEO's Scientific Council (2017-2019).
Her educational background includes a DEA in Chinese Language and Civilization from the University of Paris-VII (1991), a higher diploma in Tibetan language from INALCO (1995), and a doctoral thesis in history on the 9th Panchen Lama (1883-1937) defended in 1999 at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales under Pierre-Etienne Will. In 2017, she was authorized to direct research.
Dr. Jagou's research focuses on political and cultural relations between China and Tibet in the modern era, particularly examining the interpretation of the 'alliance of politics and religion' (chos srid gzhung 'brel) and the 'relationship of spiritual master to lay protector' (mchod yon) in Sino-Tibetan relations. She investigates how Chinese republicans (1912-1949) understood and adapted these concepts, and analyzes cultural transfers between Tibet and China through the study of teachings transmitted by Tibetan masters to Chinese disciples. Her recent work explores Tibetan Buddhism in Taiwan and philological studies of Sino-Tibetan relations through treaty analysis.
Her extensive publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on historical and contemporary aspects of Sino-Tibetan relations, with particular attention to religious-political dynamics, cultural transmission, and the complex interplay between Tibetan Buddhist traditions and Chinese political frameworks across different historical periods.
Her scientific recognition includes the prize of the Taiwan-French Foundation for Education and Culture in 2000 for her doctoral research. She directs a collective project supported by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation entitled 'Practices of Tibetan Buddhism in Taiwan with a comparative analysis with the French example' and participates in the 'Unequal Treaties Corpus' scientific project coordinated by Béatrice Jaluzot.
At the Institute of East Asia at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon and the Institute of Political Studies of Lyon, she has taught the Master 2 seminar 'Religion and Politics in Contemporary Tibet' since 2010, as well as 'Politics and Religion in Tibet' Master's seminars. Her teaching reflects her research expertise in the complex interplay between religious and political spheres in Tibetan contexts.
Her research activities are organized through the EFEO's research unit on 'Systems of thought and practices: dissemination, exchange, adaptation,' where she serves as co-head, facilitating collaborative work on cultural and religious exchanges in Asian contexts.
