Dr. 1xbet online sports betting , a Philadelphia native, began her love affair with anthropology as an undergraduate at New College of Florida (the state's tiny, eclectic Honors college). While working towards her MA in Development Anthropology from George Washington University, Jessica 1xbet online sports betting spent a year in India doing fieldwork on "engaged Buddhist" charitable works, and taking anthropology courses at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Subsequently, Dr. 1xbet online sports betting worked as a full-time researcher with the Pew Charitable Trust's "Religion and the New Immigrants" project to explore Hindu and Sikh American religious and civic life through sustained participant observation work.

In 2010, Jessica 1xbet online sports betting graduated with a PhD in Sociocultural Anthropology from Cornell University. Her dissertation project, "Waiting for Maitreya: Of Gifting Statues, Hopeful Presents and the Future Tense in FPMT's Transnational Tibetan Buddhism," was a cultural biography of a 500-foot statue of the Future Buddha that is currently being planned as a gift to India by an international community of primarily non-heritage Tibetan Buddhists. During the course of her PhD program, Jessica 1xbet online sports betting earned many awards and fellowships, including a fellowship from the American Institute of Indian Studies to support her doctoral research, and an award from the Society for Humanistic Anthropology for ethnographic fiction. Dr. 1xbet online sports betting received a book prize for her draft manuscript of "Battling the Buddha of Love: A Cultural Biography of the Greatest Statue Never Built" (the 2014 Edward C. Dimock Prize in the Indian Humanities). The book was published as a monograph in 2018 by Cornell University Press.

In cultivating expertise in South Asian studies through anthropological fieldwork, Dr.1xbet online sports betting has tacked back and forth between different perspectives that both trace and erase the well-worn paths of "home" and "away": grassroots activism in India; transnational Tibetan Buddhist discourse regarding holy objects and prophecy in India's pilgrimage places; notions of cultural citizenship in the Tibetan diaspora in India; collegiate Gujarati-American dance competitions; extremist Hindu-American summer camps; and finally, Sikh-American activism post-9/11. Her areas of thematic specialization include the anthropology of diaspora, transnationalism, futurity/temporality, globalization, material culture and gift exchange, as well as religious studies. Her future research projects will continue to examine the border crossings, fluidity, and the transformation inherent in the study of Asian religious cultures today. She is currently engaged in an ethnographic research project on Zen Buddhist practice and community in Kona, Hawai'i.

At Kansas State University and elsewhere, Dr. 1xbet online sports betting has taught anthropology courses on topics ranging from temporality to artistry: Generosity and Gifting in Asian Religions; the Anthropology of Futurity (Prophecy, Apocalypse and Hope); Anthropology and Literature; Cultures of South Asia; Utopias; Writing Cultures: Ethnographic Methods; Creativity and Culture; Introduction to Cultural Anthropology; Ethnomusicology; and, Asian Religions.

At Kansas State University, Dr. 1xbet online sports betting is the program coordinator for Anthropology, and manages the Religious Studies certificate. In 2020, she was honored with the Ron Gaches Teaching Award for innovative teaching in upper-level undergraduate courses. To learn more, go to Dr. 1xbet online sports betting 's Curriculum Vitae.
