Research Focus

Dr. Loeckenhoff's research focuses on age differences in time horizons, personality, and emotional experience and their influence on mental and physical health across the life span. A central goal is to understand how age groups differ in their approach to health-related choices and to explore ways to optimize such choices across the life span. A second line of research examines life-long trajectories in people's personality traits and social cognition and their relation to health-related behaviors and outcomes. Dr. Loeckenhoff is also interested in cross-cultural differences in aging trajectories.

D. Mitra Barua

Postdoctoral Fellow

Overview

D. Mitra Barua holds a Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Buddhist Studies administered by the American Council of Learned Societies. Prior to his affiliation to Cornell in August 2014, he taught (2011-14) South and Southeast Asian Buddhism at the Department of Religion and Culture, University of Saskatchewan, Canada. His academic studies of religion developed in two streams, namely Oriental Studies in Sri Lanka (1994-2000), and then Religious Studies in Canada (2003-2011).

Mitra's PhD dissertation (Wilfrid Laurier University) examined the reconfiguration of Sri Lankan Buddhism in three historical periods: colonial Ceylon, post-colonial Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan Buddhist diaspora particularly in Toronto, Canada. He is currently transforming his dissertation into a monograph, provisionally entitled Weaving Ola and Maple Leaves Together: Sri Lankan Buddhists in Toronto (under a contract to Wilfrid Laurier Press, Waterloo, Canada). Mitra's postdoctoral project examines Buddhism in Bengals (1757-1988) from a perspective of minority religion within the nexus of transnational connections with fellow majority Buddhists in Sri Lanka and Myanmar.
