Education:
Dr. Prichard is a historian of nineteenth and twentieth-century East Africa. In particular, she is interested in the intersections of gender, religion, and politics. Her book, Sisters in Spirit: Christianity, Affect, and Community Building in East Africa, 1860-1960, was released in 2017 with Michigan State University Press. The book uses the rich personal stories of a group of female African lay evangelists to tell an intimate history of the university's Mission to Central Africa and of the Tanzanian nation. Prichard's current research project deals with the history of evangelical child sponsorship initiatives in East Africa and the American Bible Belt.
