[edit] About me

I'm a scholar of Asian Philosophy & Religion, with a focus on Indian religions, specifically Shakta Tantra and the goddess traditions within Hinduism. I also have an interest in Tantric Buddhism, and the relationship between Hinduism and the various heterodox traditions of India (Buddhism, Jainism, etc.). I've contributed to a forthcoming Encyclopedia of Hinduism, being published by my dissertation committee chair in 2007.

I haven't initiated any pages yet, but I do a lot of editing when I find information that's incorrect, ambiguous or otherwise unclear, when it's within my field of specialty. My philosophy is to offer as much information as possible, as clearly and concisely as possible.
