Eleanor Tiplady Higgs
I'm an interdisciplinary feminist writer and scholar interested in the social, political, and cultural significance of Christianity from a feminist perspective. Within this frame, I work on narrative, everyday ethics, institutional ethnography, coloniality and race/racism, and Christian institutions - mainly the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA).

I have held fellowships at the Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (2022) and the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence (2020-21) and I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Religious Studies, University of Cape Town (2018-20). ​I was awarded my PhD in Gender Studies by SOAS, University of London in 2018.
