Bumochir Dulam is a PhD candidate at the Department of
Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge, where he completed his
MPhil in Social Anthropology in 2001. Before Social Anthropology, in
1998, he completed his MA in Mongolian Philology at the School of Mongolian
Language and Culture, National University of Mongolia, and in 2000,
his PhD in Mongolian Philology at the Institute of Philology, Mongolian
Academy of Sciences.
His early research focused on the folk religion of the Mongols. His
MA research examined the cult of the Eternal Heaven (Mönkh Tenger)
and studies of its manuscripts and prayers documented in the 17th to
20th centuries. His research was partially done under the supervision
of Professor Claus Sagaster at the University of Bonn, Germany. From
1996, he held several fieldworks among the Buriad shamans in the northeastern
Mongolia and Buryatia, Russia; and also among the shamans in Ulaanbaatar.
This research was conducted for a PhD thesis studying the genres of
the Mongol shamanic chants. In his MPhil thesis at Cambridge, he extended
his research to analyse the use of language in shamanic rituals and
to engage with other theories on rituals. From 2003 to 2004 he carried
out a long term field research among the Deed Mongols in Qinghai, China.
His PhD research has focused on an important theme, the culture of 'respect'
and concepts of power.
