I am a feminist scholar of gender, sexuality, and religion in South Asia, particularly in Hindu culture and society and in Nepal. I have researched in Nepal since the late 1990s, where my work centers primarily on the construction and intersections of Hindu religious and gender ideologies, identity, and practice in and around the Kathmandu Valley.
