Antonio Terrone serves as Associate Professor of Instruction in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at Northwestern University, with additional teaching appointments in the Department of Religious Studies. His scholarly profile centers on East Asian cultures, politics, and religions, with specialized expertise in Tibet and China's borderlands.
His research examines politics, policies, and religion in modern China and its peripheries, concentrating on ethno-religious dynamics among Tibetans and Uyghurs. Extensive fieldwork across Tibetan regions of Qinghai/Sichuan, Xinjiang, Nepal, and India underpins his analysis of religious revival, political violence, and state-religion interactions. He maintains fluency in Mandarin Chinese, Tibetan, Japanese, and Uyghur for primary source research.
Analysis of his 2008-2020 publications reveals consistent engagement with Tibetan Buddhist modernism, political violence, environmental ethics, and charismatic leadership. Key thematic trajectories include self-immolations as political resistance, state propaganda targeting ethnic minorities, digital transformations of religious texts, and treasure revelation traditions within contemporary revival movements.
