Presenting at Society for Tantric Studies

In September, the Society for Tantric Studies will be holding their regular meeting, and I’m very pleased to say that I’ll be presenting a paper at the conference about the symbolism and power of worship at the Kamakhya temple in Assam, based on fieldwork and some brief textual analysis.

I’m very excited! :)

Quick reference for APA style

A lot of the papers I edit require use of APA (American Psychological Association) style. There are a number of useful style guides out there online, but the one at Purdue’s Online Writing Lab (OWL) is the one I use, because I find it comprehensive in the basics and easy to navigate. It includes formatting basics (especially useful for citations and footnotes) and a basic style guide, as well as a workshop to help you learn.

Check out the Purdue OWL APA style guide.
