My current research interests include understanding the networks of transmission of Buddhism into mainland Southeast Asia, the archaeological visibility of the shift from Mahayana to Theravada practice in the Khmer Empire, and the development of new methodologies in providing visibility to activities of pilgrimage and religious movement and convergence
