My research takes an ethno-historical approach to studying religious ethical praxis, religious narrative, and category formation during colonial and postcolonial India, and my teaching specializations are in moral formation, theories of non-violence, and applied ethics in South Asian religious traditions.
At Davidson, I will teach courses on South Asian religions, lived Hinduism, religion and philanthropy, Indic conceptions of divinity, and Gandhian philosophy. I am currently working on multiple peer-reviewed publications for an edited volume by SUNY Press, the Journal of Cultural Anthropology, and the International Journal of Hindu Studies. I also serve as an editor for Eastern Religions in the journal Open Theology.
