Kevin Vose is Professor of Religious Studies at William & Mary, where he has taught since completing his PhD with Jeffrey Hopkins at the University of Virginia in 2005.

He is the author of Resurrecting Candrakirti (2009) and Splitting the Middle: A Natural History of Middle Way Reasoning (2025), both in Wisdom Publications’ Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism series. He is the also author of several research articles on the transmission of Sanskrit Buddhist philosophical traditions from India to Tibet and the formation of Tibetan Buddhist scholastic traditions.

His articles have appeared in the Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies, Journal of Buddhist Philosophy, Journal of Indian Philosophy, and Journal of South Asian Intellectual History, among others.

His work focuses in particular on a collection of eleventh- and twelfth-century Tibetan manuscripts discovered in one of the few libraries to survive the Cultural Revolution in Tibet and that provide a wealth of information on the formative period of Tibetan Buddhism. From this collection, he and Pascale Hugon are preparing an edition and translation of Gyamarwa’s Essence of the Middle Way.
