About
I teach about religion in China and East Asia, with a focus on Buddhism. In my research I specialize in the intellectual and institutional history of Chinese Buddhism during the modern period, concentrating on Buddhist responses to discourses of modernity, such as the discourses surrounding both modern science and comparative religion (what F. Max Müller labeled the “Science of Religion”). As an extension of my work on Chinese Buddhism, I helped establish the Database of Modern Chinese Buddhism (http://buddhistinformatics.ddbc.edu.tw/dmcb/Main_Page ), which I continue to co-edit.
