Tim Hartman, Ph.D candidate in the Department of Religious Studies at U.Va. and former graduate research assistant for the Project on Lived Theology, has received an Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) Summer Research Fellowship in the amount of $5000. The fellowship will fund a research trip to Bujumbura, Burundi and Akropong-Akuapem, Ghana to study the thought and legacy of Kwame Bediako, an African Christian theologian. Tim’s archival research and interviews with Bediako’s widow and colleagues will provide the foundation for his doctoral dissertation.
