I work in religious studies, especially in the intersection between Buddhism and science. My dissertation will investigate the mutual influence between Buddhism and Western psychology, historically, socially, and philosophically. Right now, I am working on a paper analyzing journal literature treating mindfulness in both Buddhist and secular contexts to identify trends in mindfulness research in several scholarly fields. I play lots of ultimate frisbee and will surely have a disc on hand should the opportunity arise.
