Ph.D., McGill U., 2018 - Professeure adjointe en études bouddhiques, Université de Katmandou, Centre d'études bouddhistes de l'Institut Rangjung Yeshe, Népal
Recherche : Je m'intéresse aux processus de transformation dans l'histoire intellectuelle du bouddhisme, en me concentrant particulièrement sur les transformations dans le domaine des pratiques contemplatives. J'ai examiné l'adaptation et la domestication des enseignements de l'adepte indien Saraha Mahāmudrā dans des contextes bouddhistes tibétains pour mon mémoire de maîtrise (réalisée à University of the West, CA). Pour ma recherche doctorale, j'ai retracé la compassion (karuṇā) de l'Indien Mahāyāna aux Traditions Tibétaines de Formation de l'Esprit et de Cheminement Graduel, et plus loin au monde de la formation laïque de la compassion dans l'Amérique du Nord contemporaine.
