Dr Jonathan Duquette

Dr Duquette holds a PhD from the University of Montreal and has held research positions in Hamburg, Leiden, Kyoto, Oxford and Cambridge. He teaches Sanskrit across several genres and periods, and researches on the history of Sanskrit knowledge-systems (Vedānta, Nyāya, etc.) in the second millennium. His first monograph (OUP, 2021) focused on Appayya Dīkṣita, a towering scholarly figure of the sixteenth century in South India. He is the co-editor of the Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Non-Duality in Indian Philosophy (forthcoming, 2026), and is currently the Principal Investigator of the AHRC Kaveri Delta project, which investigates the intellectual history of Sanskrit scholarship (philosophy, belles-lettres, etc.) under Maratha Thanjavur rule.
