My research interests include visuality, mobility, local networks, long-distance interconnections, oral and mobile societies, sacred and pastoral landscapes, ritual practices, and cosmologies.
My approach is fundamentally interdisciplinary, weaving together tools and perspectives from archaeology, anthropology, geography, archaeoastronomy, as well as photography, art history, Buddhist studies, and linguistics to engage critically with themes of heritage, identity, gender, and human-environment relationship especially in mountain and arid contexts.
