| bio | Dr. Hab. Ulrich Timme Kragh is a scholar of Asian languages and cultures. He holds two separate MA degrees in Tibetan studies and Indology (University of Copenhagen, 1998 and 2016), the PhD degree with a thesis on early Buddhist theories of karma and causality (University of Copenhagen, 2004), and a Habilitation degree with a study on a medieval Tibetan anchorite community (Adam Mickiewicz University, 2018). He has conducted research projects in classical and medieval Asian studies at Harvard University (2004-2007), Geumgang University (2008-2010), Leiden University (2011-2013), the Australian National University (2014-2015), the University of Copenhagen (2014-2016), and Adam Mickiewicz University (2016-2021). He has taught at Florida State University (2007-2008) and the University of Sydney (2014). His research employs methods of philology, theory of history, literary theory, and gender studies, and is mostly concerned with various topics in the Buddhist and Jain traditions in India, Tibet, and China. He is engaged in a metahistorical analysis of classical and medieval Indian, Persian, Tibetan, and Chinese theories of historical narrative in comparison to Western ideas of narrative and story, and the humanist application of these theories to the study of pre-modern and modern Asian history writing. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Apabhramsha Sahitya Academy in Jaipur, India. (Source Accessed Aug 13, 2025) |
