Author Biography

Lewis Ebert, University of Oxford

Doctoral student at the University of Oxford, where he previously completed his BA and MPhil. His research focuses on the historical development of steppe cultures in Mongolia, with particular attention to the intersections of cuisine, medicine, and cosmology. His DPhil thesis examines the period of Mongol rule in China, analysing how the influx of steppe cultural practices reshaped established dietary and medical frameworks. Through a close reading of contemporary dietary manuals, the project combined textual, historical, and anthropological methodologies to reconstruct the culinary cosmologies of the period and to trace their lineages into the present. His current book project with Bloomsbury Publishing, Food Cultures of Mongolia: Cuisine, Customs, Issues, offers a culinary history of Mongolia, tracing foodways from the Bronze Age to the modern era. His broader engagement with Eurasian history has led him to research across multiple dimensions of steppe culture, including religion, political history, and art history, on which he has published and presented widely. Underpinning his work is a sustained interest in the cosmological relationships between ritual, culture, and everyday practice on the steppe, which continues to inform his interdisciplinary historical approach.
