 Assistant Professor
Gil Raz specializes in Chinese Religion, with a particular interest in
Daoism, and the interaction between Daoism, popular religious practices, and
Buddhism. Between studies in History and Religious Studies in Hebrew University
(B.A. 1992) and Chinese Religions in Indiana University (M.A. 1996, Ph.D.
2004), he spent some six years in China and Taiwan. He conducted three years of
field work in Taiwan, working closely with a Daoist priest. He is currently
completing a book that examines the formation of the Daoist religious tradition
between the second and fifth centuries CE. His research interests include
Daoist ritual, both historical and contemporary, Daoist sacred geography and
mythology, traditional divination systems, concepts of the body and sexual
practices in Chinese religions.
