Dr Alana Harris, BA(Hons)/LLB(Hons) (Melb), MDiv (MCD), DPhil (Oxon) holds a Darby Fellowship in History at Lincoln College. Australian by birth, but now firmly ensconced in the UK, Alana undertook her DPhil at Wadham College and her dissertation examined issues of religious identity, gender and popular spirituality in twentieth-century Britain. She has published in fields relating to secularization, twentieth-century religious revivals, liturgical reform and feminist theology. She teaches papers in nineteenth and twentieth century British history, gender studies and historical theory.
As post-doctoral researcher on the project, Alana supports and contributes to all aspects of research associated with the project, which through extensive oral history interviewing, long-term participant observation and targeted fieldwork will result in the production of two detailed case-studies of inter-religious communities in London and associated publications.
