Research Interests:
- History of Tibet and Inner Asia; Sino-Tibetan relations; history of science, technology, and medicine; history of religion and secularism; race and ethnicity; institutions; popular culture; manuscripts and printing; borderlands and networks; governance under imperial and national formations.
My research and teaching are concerned with the place of Tibet in regional and global histories, and with how Tibetan historiography - and relatedly, that of contemporary states including China, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Mongolia, and Russia - has been shaped by modern transformations in knowledge, economy, culture, and governance.
