    Paolo E. Rosati obtained a PhD in Asian and African Studies (South Asia section) from Sapienza University of Rome, defending a thesis on the yoni cult of Kāmākhyā. Paolo’s main field of research is the medieval and pre-colonial development of Assamese Tantra, applying modern social theories. He is co-editing (with Andrea Acri) a volume provisionally entitled Tantra, Folk Religions, and Magic: Experiences, Practices, and Practitioners at the ‘Margins’ of Monsoon Asia.
