Research Interests
I am intrigued by the religious and cultural exchanges between European missionaries and those who converted, with a focus upon reciprocity and the agency of non-Westerners, themes which I explore in forthcoming book chapters: "Fishers of Men and Hunters of Lion," in K. Jones and G. Macola, eds., A Cultural History of Firearms (Ashgate, 2013); and "British Mission and Missionaries in the High Imperial Era: An Introduction," in R. Aldrich and K. McKenzie, eds. The Routledge History of Empires (Routledge, forthcoming). I have also written about the history of Christian mission in 19th-century China, including a forthcoming article in Social Sciences and Missions, "The Cambridge Seven, Late Victorian Culture, and the Chinese Frontier." I am engaged currently in writing a book on the history of the East African (Balokole) Revival in Uganda from the early 1930s to the early 1950s. While the revival was a conversionary movement that proclaimed a Christian message of salvation, this project examines the ways in which salvation was not simply a personal, eternal aspiration for the Balokole, but rather a comprehensive way of life. This work illuminates the many ways in which the revival created a new lifestyle for those who converted through its message, which had profound impacts upon revivalists' understanding of themselves and how they ought to relate to their families, communities, societies, and nations.
