Sisters in Spirit: Christianity, Affect, and Community Building in East Africa, 1860–1970
Michigan State University Press, 2017
Dr. Prichard’s research focuses on the intersections of gender, politics, and religion in East Africa. Her first book was a multi-generational history of a group of African women lay evangelists who worked in Tanzania and Zanzibar between 1860 and 1970. She is currently working on a project about American evangelical development initiatives in Kenya, and an oral history of women grassroots activists in Uganda. She teaches classes at OU about humanitarianism in Africa, Christianity in Africa, and about African history more generally; she also loves accompanying students to study abroad.
