About Me:

As a staff member of the Soka Gakkai International-USA Buddhist Association, I direct awareness raising initiatives centered on the U.N. Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace. In May 2012, I completed a Master of Public Diplomacy at the University of Southern California and have since conducted research in this area as an independent scholar. My research interests center on faith diplomacy, media and religion, and the role of transnational non-state actors in global affairs - particularly the role of religious and media networks in developing international human rights norms. In 2013, Palgrave Macmillan will publish my article titled "Pope John Paul II, Radio Free Europe and Faith Diplomacy" as part of a new volume on religion and public diplomacy.
