Bio/Research

My research focuses on the history of religious practice in China during the eighth through the twelfth centuries. In particular, I study material sources (manuscripts, amulets, seals, archaeological sites, etc) for the practices of Chinese Buddhism in this period. More recently, I have sought to broaden my work by beginning to study the histories of Manichaeism and Christianity at Dunhuang and Turfan, key sites on the eastern “silk roads.” In general, I have a strong interest in exploring premodern China in its broader eastern Eurasian contexts.
