Julie Vig is Assistant Professor of Humanities, Religious Studies, and South Asian Cultures at 91亚色. Her research focuses on premodern Sikh and Punjabi cultural production and how it relates to wider cultural worlds and networks of premodern North India (c.1500鈥1850).
Her particular focus is on 驳耻谤产颈濒腻蝉 literature and its interactions with broader Brajbhasha literature in the early modern period. She also has secondary research interests in the reception of early modern Sikh texts in the colonial period and women, gender, and sexuality within the Sikh tradition. She is currently working on her first book tentatively called 鈥淭he Play of the Guru: Braj Historical Poetry in Early Modern Punjab.鈥
