bio At Davidson College, Rachel Pang teaches courses in East Asian religions, Tibetan Buddhism, Chinese religions, Buddhist nationalism, and Buddhism in popular culture.

Her research focuses on the nonsectarian movement of nineteenth-century eastern Tibet, Buddhist life writing, Tibetan song and poetry, animal ethics, Buddhist nationalism, and the collected works of Shabkar Tsokdruk Rangdrol (1781-1851). Her current book project is entitled Singer of the Land of Snows, on the life and works of Shabkar.

She has published many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters in journals such as a/b: Auto/biography Studies, Himalaya, Numen, Journal of Buddhist Ethics, Journal of Inter-Religious Studies, and Revue d'Etudes Tibétaines. An avid translator, several of my translations of Shabkar’s poems appear in The Faults of Meat (2019, ed. Barstow) and Longing to Awaken (2024, eds. Gayley and Townsend) as well as at Lotsawa House.
