CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS

  • Dance
  • Tibetan Migration
  • Peace Building
  • Tibetan Buddhist Art and Religion

 

CURRENT PROJECT SUMMARY

I am exploring how dance amongst Tibetan diaspora communities may play a role in healing/mediating the wounds of the past and in negotiating their current situations. Dance ethnography will be used to investigate whether and how peace can be created alternatively through bodily, sensory practice and performance experience.
