This project investigates how ‘walking practices’ figure into female monastic (bhikkhuni) training in contemporary Thai Buddhism. During Dr. Scahill's doctoral fieldwork, she found ‘walking meditation’ and ‘walking on alms rounds’ to be important practices that bridge the silent stillness of sitting meditation and the informal, unstructured practices of everyday life. For example, walking meditation combines recited narration with footsteps to train wandering attention, while alms round involves monks reciting blessings along their routes. Dr. Scahill's monograph deepens her engagement with theories of daily practice and rhythmicity (de Certeau 1984; Lefebvre 2013), as well as approaches from performance studies, affect theory, and phenomenology (Jackson and Timmer et al. 2015). Taking walking as ethnographic practice (Aduonum 2022; Impey 2018; Ingold and Vergunst 2008), she explores modes of walking that traverse the environment of the temple and the public space outside the monastery. In these contexts, she proposes that walking is both (1) a means of developing inward concentration through slow, deliberating movement, and (2) a practice of inhabiting public space that can actively shape the surrounding community, including laypeople’s perception of female monastics. During the fellowship period, Dr. Scahill will bring together insights from her doctoral and post-doctoral fieldwork, which she plans to conduct in summer 2026, to weave her findings on ‘walking practices’ into her existing work on bhikkhuni’s recitation and teaching traditions. She will craft an additional chapter focused on meditative movement in dialogue with phenomenological approaches to perception and embodiment as she prepares a book manuscript for submission to an academic press.
