Presentasjon

My main expertise is constructive theology. I work theologically-empirically and in an interdisciplinary way at the intersection of theology, religion, and social issues such as peacebuilding, trauma and migration.

My doctoral dissertation is a study of the theology that was developed in Southern Sudan particularly during the second civil war (1983-2005). My main conclusion is that the theology there developed, is a theology of inculturation and liberation. In this respect, I consider my dissertation and the just published book Oaths of Peace a contribution to ongoing debates around African theology. In my doctoral research project I have particularly looked at the role of women in peacebuilding.

Currently I am working on two projects. The first one is about theological and religious resources to address trauma in South Sudan. I define it an inter-contextual theological project as I put in dialogue South Sudanese theological voices and North American feminist trauma theologians. My other project is on postcolonial theology of migration. I analyze migration theology from the observation point of Lampedusa, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, half-way between Africa and Europe.
