Travel Bursary Report April 2023 - Rachel Wilkowski
Rachel is a 3rd Year PhD candidate in the School of Relgion, Peace Studies and Theology.
While I have presented papers at conferences before, this was my first time presenting research from one of the chapters of my PhD thesis. My research is in an under-represented field—the interpretation of the Bible in children's Bibles from Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant traditions—so one of my goals was to begin to draw greater academic attention to the enormous potential in this area of research.
Not only was my paper well-received, one of my fellow presenters was able to connect me with a colleague with similar research interests.
I am grateful to TRiSS for facilitating opportunities to present my unique research and connect with fellow scholars.
