Student Spotlight

Aimee Hamilton

I am a Ph.D. student focusing on South Asian Hinduism, primarily in North India, while also pursuing a minor in Anthropology.

Some of my areas of interest include reading and mapping of the religious body, pilgrimage and performance, and ritual. Acquiring proficiency in Sanskrit and Hindi is a crucial and challenging aspect of my textual and practical studies, and I am fortunate to be able to work with Dr. Manring in the India Studies Department.

As an Associate Instructor in the Religious Studies Department, I continue to acquire invaluable pedagogical skills for the future. Both Dr. Haberman in Religious Studies and Dr. Royce in Anthropology have been instrumental figures in the course of my program.
