Research Interests
In my work, I reflect on continuities and discontinuities in the transmission of East and South Asian religious traditions, Buddhism in particular. This reflection makes use of and brings together multiple aspects of a religion, including its literary, linguistic, ritual, cultural, or material representations. I am also interested in the role gender, sexuality, and body plays in this transmission process. On a broader level, I examine the dialectic relationship between these contexualized elements and a transnational narrative for transcendental teaching and practice.
