I am Reader in Social Anthropology at King’s College London , Director of its Religious and Ethnic Diversity in China and Asia Research Unit ( REDCARU ), and Project Lead for the ERC Synergy Grant titled ‘Cosmological Visionaries: Shamans, Scientists, and Climate Change at the Ethnic Borderlands of China and Russia’ .
My area of research is Inner Asia. I have conducted fieldwork on animistic and shamanic religions for more than two decades among the Nuosu of Southwest China, the Buryats of northeast Mongolia and China, and the Deed Mongols of northern China. I teach on a wide range of topics, especially in the anthropology of religion.
