He also holds a co-appointment in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literature.

Dunne went to Amherst College and received his Ph.D. in the Study of Religion from Harvard University in 1999. According to his faculty profile, his work "focuses on Buddhist philosophy and contemplative practice, especially in dialog with Cognitive Science. His publications range from technical works on Buddhist epistemology to broader works on the nature of Buddhist contemplative practices such as Mindfulness."[2] He occasionally teaches for Buddhist communities, most notably the Upaya Institute and Zen Center. He was a student of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and now studies with Tulku Urgyen's sons Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.[3]
Dunne is the author of Foundations of Dharmakīrti's Philosophy, part of Wisdom Publications' "Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism Series," a study of the thought of the important 7th century Buddhist philosopher Dharmakīrti.[4]
