Dr Michelle Eastwood (she/her) is Director of Research at Australian Lutheran College and Executive Officer for ANZATS and the Council of Deans of Theology. She has degrees in Psychology, History, Education and Theology. This demonstrates she is a complete nerd. Her current research interests include shame, gender and sexuality, the Hebrew Bible, worship and liturgy, and public theology. Michelle is currently exploring the Women-Church journal in connection with the Australian Women in Religion project. As part of this work, she is engaging with Wikipedia as an editor, writer and critic. Michelle is enjoying travelling again and catching up with friends and acquaintances, as long as it is balanced with introvert time at home when there is no one she has to talk to. Michelle loves to read everything from Bronte to Watego and much in between. Michelle lives on Wauthaurong land and believes that reparations must be paid for all the damage that has been perpetrated against the First Nations of this land.
