Biography
I am an anthropologist and specialise in the study of religion, particularly of Christianity, and its relation to other aspects of social life such as kinship, gender, political and economic relations. I have particular expertise in the study of Pentecostalism in the Republic of Benin, West Africa, and of ‘Popular’ Catholicism in the Huasteca region in Mexico. I studied my first degree in Ethnohistory at the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH) in Mexico. I completed my postgraduate education at the London School of Economics (LSE), where I did an MSc in Anthropology and Development and a PhD in Anthropology.
