Margaret Y. MacDonald
Professor, author, and researcher specializing in Early Christianity and the intersections of family and religion.
SSHRC ID Grant Project
Dr. MacDonald and co-investigator Dr. Syed Adnan Hussain are currently leading a research grant project paying special attention to the reshaping of the family that occurred through the colonial encounter between Christianity and Islam. In exploring colonial legacies, their team seeks to discover how references to the Bible and the Qur’an played a role in re-imagining and reconstituting familial arrangements.
This project’s aim is to set the groundwork for a comparative study of notions of family expansion in Christianity and Islam from the 19th to 21st century.
