Gwendolyn Gillson is Associate Professor of Asian Studies in the History, Philosophy, Political Science, and Religion department at Illinois College. She researches at the intersection of anthropology of religion, religious studies, Japanese studies, and gender studies to trouble the “traditional” narratives of scholarship and society. Her work focuses on otherness, however defined, within larger power structures and attempts to recover and ultimately highlight otherized experiences and ways of being. She is also editor of The Essential Guide to Buddhism with Bloomsbury Academic (2024).
