Biography
The core issue animating her research in India and beyond is music’s power to activate profound religious experiences that in turn shape other identities. I thus explore nationalism in Western Indian Hindu temple performance, gendered translation in Indian Jewish song, diasporic longing in Indo-Caribbean American Hinduism, and rural-urban collisions in the devotional songs of an Indian classical singer. More recently, she has begun turning my attention toward issues of race and migration in American popular musics.
