My name is Richard Fox and this is my homepage, which is devoted to the study of religion, media and performance.

In 2002 I completed my doctorate in Anthropology and Religious Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London), and have subsequently taught at Williams College and the University of Chicago.

My primary research and teaching interests lie in the historical and ethnographic study of South and Southeast Asian religions, with a special emphasis on media and performance in Indonesia and the Malay region. My first book, Critical Reflections on Religion and Media in Contemporary Bali will be published later this year in the Numen Series in the History of Religions (Leiden: Brill). It examines some of the ways in which Balinese have come to understand themselves as adherents to a modern, state-sanctioned form of Hinduism through practices mediated by text, television and improvisational theatre.
