Nuam Hatzaw is lecturer on the MA in Asian Christianity.

Nuam belongs to the Zomi people, a predominantly Christian ethnic minority group found primarily in Chin State, north-west Myanmar. She was born in Chin State but has spent most of her life in the UK.

Nuam did her BA in Social Anthropology and Development Studies at SOAS, University of London, and her MTh in World Christianity at the University of Edinburgh.

Her PhD examined the lived theologies of migrant 1.5 generation Zomi women and how they negotiate the sense of ‘in-betweenness’ that is generated by experiences of migration and diasporic life.

An interdisciplinary scholar with training in qualitative research methods and frameworks, her research interests include World Christianity, Asian theology, postcolonial feminist theology, Myanmar studies, social anthropology, and migration and diaspora studies.

She is co-host of the podcast Voices of World Christianity and serves as mentor and consultant for the Chin State Academic Research Network, a non-profit dedicated to promoting education and research in and from the region.

Nuam lives in Edinburgh with her husband.
