Biography
My work focuses on the relationship between religion, ethics, and politics and how the entanglement of these social dimensions shape the life-worlds of Christian believers and lay bare to broader societal changes in democratic Brazil. I conducted fieldwork in Brazil, where I examined the role of cultural values amongst Evangelical Christians from an influential megachurch. I am interested in the ethical practices and discourses of religious and political movements in Latin America and their relation to political activism and change.
