Jason D. Fuller received his Ph.D. from the Graduate Group in Religion at the University of Pennsylvania in 2005. His dissertation dealt with the middle-class appropriation of religious authority within Gaudiya Vaisnavism in late 19th century Bengal. He taught at Washington and Lee University and the University of Pennsylvania before coming to DePauw in the fall of 2004.

Jason's areas of research interest involve Gaudiya Vaisnavaism; 19th century Bengali social history; and Hindu responses to the challenges of colonialism and modernity. His most recent publications include: "Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Colonialism and the Philosophia Perennis," Journal of Vaishnava Studies (Spring 2008); "Bhaktivinoda Thakura and the Modernization of Gaudiya Vaisnavism," in Steven J. Rosen, ed. Gaudiya Vaishnavism & Iskcon: An Anthology of Scholarly Perspectives (2008); and "Vaisnava Hermeneutics and Vedic Authority in the Sri Krsna Samhita," Journal of Vaishnava Studies (2006).
