Prof Reddie's research lies at the intersection of Black liberation theology and Practical theology, focussing on developing a participative model of Black theology that seeks to impact the consciousness of ordinary Black people, particularly those living in inner-city poor communities in Britain ↘️
A black background graphic titled “My Research in 100 words with Prof Anthony Reddie.” The Regent's Park College logo appears in the top right corner. The text explains that Prof Reddie’s research explores the intersection of Black liberation theology with decolonial teaching, learning, and curriculum development. It examines the relationship between Christianity and colonialism, showing how this shaped the modern world, where race, migration, and empire remain central. His work involves historical investigation, biblical and theological reflection, and social and political analysis. At the bottom right is a photo of Prof Anthony Reddie, smiling and wearing glasses, a collared shirt, and a dark jacket.

Dr Tim Middleton’s research focuses on the intersections of theology and religion with science, nature and the environment 🌱. But what does that mean? Tim has helpfully summarised his current research in 💯 words for us so we can get a glimpse of his fascinating ‘big picture’ questions!
Notebook page titled "MY RESEARCH IN 100 WORDS WITH DR TIM MIDDLETON" featuring a short paragraph about climate change, species extinction, and Christian visions of the future. A small photo of Dr Tim Middleton appears at the bottom of the page.

I help with your loans, answer your enquiries, and assist with withdrawing books you find less useful to make room for the new ones on your reading lists.

I studied English and German at the University of Wales followed by a Masters in Library & Information Science.

"I’m Katrina Robinson, and perhaps I’m a bit of a mystery to you as I’m the Regent’s Park College Library Assistant whom you only see one day a week.

My job combines two of my favourite things: people and books.
