I have a background in East Asian Studies, and a specific focus of Buddhism, its material and visual culture. I completed my undergraduate degree in Languages and Cultures of East Asia at Caʼ Foscari, University of Venice, where I majored in Chinese language and Art History. I took courses in Indian, Chinese and Japanese art, which inspired me to pursue an MA in Buddhist art. In the course of these studies, I became aware of the role that visual media, ritual and ordinary devotional objects have in shaping religious experiences and identities. This led me to explore in more depth the liturgical and every-day uses of religious imageries and objects, and to pursue a PhD in Religious Studies. For my research, I spent over a year doing fieldwork in Japan, where I was based at Keio University, thanks to a fellowship from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science. My dissertation, which I am now preparing for publication, focuses on the textual, visual and ritual practices surrounding Batō Kannon - the horse-headed manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion - in Japan. More broadly, it tackles issues of efficacy and visual response to icons, an aspect that remains central to my research agenda, and that intersects with other fields of research. At the moment, I am developing a project focused on the materiality of healing in the East Asian tradition. Bridging my research interests in textual, ritual and material studies, the project aims at exploring how notions of well-being and disease are both made manifest and structured through texts and objects employed as part of medical and ritual therapies. Since 2007, I taught different courses related to East and Central Asian Religions, Buddhism, and Japanese Studies at different UK universities: SOAS, Goldsmiths College and Oxford Brookes. In 2011, I also spent a year a UC Berkeley Center for Japanese Studies, as Shinjō-itō Postdoctoral Fellow. I am thrilled to have joined the East Asian Languages, Literatures and Culture Department, and to have courtesy appointment in the Religious Studies Department. This year, I will teach the following courses related to East Asia: Religion in Japanese Popular Culture; Lotus Sutra in Words and Images; East Asia Canons and Traditions; The Body in East Asia. I am looking forward to working students and faculty members, and to become part of the UVA community.
