Background

I am a religious historian with focus on Buddhism and ancient religion. My doctoral research explored the daily religious life of people in Hellenistic Central Asia and how they would have co-existed in multi-religious spaces. My broader research interests include ancient religious diversity, the movement of Buddhism into the Hellenistic and Roman East, religious self-sacrifice, uses of AI in ancient language pedagogy, and Buddhism in North America.
