Sandra Langhop gives us insight into her research on Indian (and European) women missionaries in South India in the 19th and 20th centuries, who crossed borders between cultures, genders and social hierarchies.
Sandra Langhop studied at the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg and at the Divinity College of Acadia University in Wolfville, Canada. She also attended the United Theological College in Bangalore, India, which concretized her research interest in Indian biblical women. In 2020, she completed her master's degrees in Religion and German (M.Ed.) and Ecumenism and Religions (M.A.). She works as a research assistant to Prof. Dr. Andrea Strübind (Church History) at the Institute of Protestant Theology and Religious Education at the University of Oldenburg. Her doctoral thesis deals with the Bible women's work of the Basel Women's Mission in 19th and 20th century South India, with a special focus on the construction of gender (and femininity).
