About
Deepak Shimkhada is the founding president of the Foundation for Indic Philosophy and Culture, and the Himalayan Arts Council, and is currently an adjunct professor at Chaffey College. He is also a founding board member of the South Asian Studies Association. Dr. Shimkhada has authored numerous journal articles, books, and book chapters including The Constant and Changing Faces of the Goddess: Goddess Traditions of Asia and As the World Churns: A Legend Where Reality and Myth Blend. He is also an artist and has had his work exhibited in shows in Nepal, India, Japan, and the US. Dr. Shimkhada helped me explore how Hinduism has informed ecofeminism and was able to give some interesting examples of these philosophical underpinnings in action.
