• I am an assistant professor of Anthropology at Miami University. I travel regularly to Nepal, India and Saudi Arabia to conduct field research. In India I teach Miami's semester abroad program on Tibetan Studies while living with the Tibetan community in Dharamsala. Additionally, I conduct similar research in Nepal. This site is designed to highlight this research. ----------------------------------------- Currently I have a segment with Talk Radio News, DC in which I discuss my research findings on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and meditation and the benefits of Asian meditation techniques and holistic stress-free living.
