Deities and Divas: Queer Ritual Specialists in Myanmar, Thailand, and Beyond
Focused on the growing numbers of gay and trans female ritual specialists found in the proliferating spirit possession cults of mainland Southeast Asia, Deities and Divas illuminatingly brings the scholarship of queer studies and spirit possession studies into an otherwise previously neglected dialogue.

Nine themes worth examining in research on the monastic order as a public institution ar…
