I am a practical theologian deeply engaged with issues relating to faith and everyday life, and my primary research interests lie in the intersection between theology and cultural practice. I am Professor of Theology and Creative Practice and co-ordinate the Literature, Theology and the Arts Research Network within the College of Arts.
My career began with research on racism and representation for the Methodist Church. My doctoral research was on the uses of women’s literature within theological reflection and I have continued to work on the relation between theology and creative writing ever since. I am a life writer and have pioneered the uses of autoethnography as a theological resource.
I am deeply engaged with international developments within practical theology and served as President of the International Academy of Practical Theology (2015-17). I am currently Executive Editor of the OUP journal Literature and Theology and a member of the Belgian Research Council. I find postgraduate supervision hugely rewarding and value the intellectual challenges it brings. I am an experienced supervisor and convene Glasgow’s Doctorate in Practical Theology Programme. I welcome applicants who are wish to undertake research in practical theology, explore interdisciplinary projects or employ creative and arts-based methods in their research.
