Teaching
Learning and teaching go hand in hand.
Between 2007 and 2022 I taught at seven universities in five countries—from Seattle and Los Angeles to Fukuoka, Tokyo, Berlin, Jerusalem, and Ghent—courses on Japanese religions, Buddhism, cultural heritage, sacred space, and gender. Click the images below to learn more about some of them.
