Ashley Karlin lives and writes in Los Angeles, where she is Assistant Professor of Writing in the University of Southern California. She earned her Ph.D in Rhetoric from Carnegie Mellon University, where her dissertation analyzed a popular series of dialogues between Buddhism and science. While most of her work on the subject has focused what academics and contemplatives have had to say about spirituality and science, she thinks that YA offers us some of the best examples of how our inner worlds collide with the cosmos.
