Zur Person

Forschungsprojekt

My project focuses on the changing roles of Buddhism among Indian followers of B. R. Ambedkar as they have migrated to Japan, Taiwan, Dubai, North America, and the UK in the past thirty years (or sixty years, in the case of Punjabi Buddhists in the UK). Urban centers have functioned as portals of transnational connection and given rise to new conversations about what Buddhism signifies for diaspora Ambedkarites and their interlocutors in diverse geopolitical contexts.
