About - Natasha MIKLES
Natasha MIKLES is an assistant professor at Texas State University, where she teaches courses on Tibetan and Chinese religion. With graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and University of Virginia, her primary research focuses on how popular narratives of death and hell influence lived Tibetan religion. During the COVID pandemic, her interests spread more broadly to examine how the nationwide confrontation with death shaped the lived experience of religion in America. This research resulted in her first book, Shattered Grief: How the Pandemic Transformed the Spirituality of Death in America (Columbia University Press, 2024), which discusses these findings through the lens of a diverse, transforming American spirituality. She is currently working on a book project examining the final episode of the Gesar epic in its larger Tibetan Buddhist context as an important work of narrative doctrine.
