Alexander Chow

My real name is Alexander Chow and, on many social media websites, my username is caorongjin, the pinyin form of my Chinese name (simplified Chinese: 曹荣锦; traditional Chinese: 曹榮錦; pinyin: Cáo Róngjǐn).

I work professionally as a senior lecturer in the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, in the areas of Christian theology and world Christianity.^[1]^[2] Some of my academic writings can be found listed on my academic blog.

We also ran a one-off event trying to redress the lack of biographical articles on women in religion through an edit-a-thon in 2016:
