Amanda Lucia’s research engages encounters between Hinduism and American religions. In studying contemporary global guru movements and American appropriations of Hinduism, her research and teaching focuses on new religious movements, gender, immigration, ethnicity, globalization, postcolonial theory, and ethnographic methodology. Her first book is an ethnographic account of Mata Amritanandamayi’s guru movement in the United States, entitled Reflections of Amma: Devotees in a Global Embrace (2014). Lucia’s current research investigates the creation of sacred space and subjectivity through cultural appropriation in contemporary transformational and yoga festivals in the United States. This focus on festival, space, and displays of religious prowess and spiritual authenticity complements another project based in her ethnographic research at the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, India 2013. As co-director of the Institute for the Study of Immigrant Religions at UCR, she is also engaged in a collaborative humanities studio researching religious festivals in immigrant communities in Southern California. Her articles and reviews have been published in Nidān, CrossCurrents, History of Religions, Journal of Asian Studies, and Journal of Hindu Studies.
