Lecturer in Modern Christian Theology. Dr Eve Parker has joined the Religions and Theology department as Lecturer in Modern Theology. She has previously worked at Durham University researching barriers to belonging in theological education – focusing on inclusive and transformative pedagogy. The outcome of this research was published in her latest book, Trust in Theological Education: Deconstructing ‘Trustworthiness’ for a Pedagogy of Liberation (London: SCM, 2022). Her other research areas include Feminist and Liberation theologies, and World Christianity. For her PhD research at the University of St Andrews, she engaged in ethnographic research in the context of South India with Dalit women dedicated to local village goddesses as devadasis, this led to the publication of her book, Theologising with the Sacred ‘Prostitutes’ of South India: Towards an Indecent Dalit Theology (Leiden: Brill, 2021). She is also currently researching abuse in religious contexts.
