Carol has an MPhil in Education, from The University of Birmingham (2005). Her thesis was entitled ‘The Contribution of Black Culture and Faith to Religious Education’. She also has a Degree: BA (Hons) French and Economics, from the University of Sheffield (1990).

Her current role is undertaking research into Decolonising theological knowledge and also Black theology based mentoring, and she is also the Reviews Editor for Black Theology: An International Journal.

Previously, she was the Chair of the National Black Theology Research Seminar, based at The Queen’s Foundation, in Birmingham (Sept. 2002 – August 2012). She was a researcher on a research project entitled ‘The Discussions in Black Theology’, an attempt to make conversations from the academy more accessible to ordinary people. The aim of this work was not to nurture faith as such, but rather to encourage critical reflection on and engagement with aspects of that faith (Jan. 2008 – Aug. 2012).

Her earliest post-Masters work was as a researcher on a research project entitled ‘Freedom’. This Project explored the role of Christian faith in creating the epistemological framework for anti-slavery activism amongst enslaved Africans (Sept. 2005 – Dec. 2007).

Carol has written 6 Journal articles and 4 chapters in edited books. She is also the Co-editor (with Anthony G. Reddie) of Deconstructing Whiteness, Empire and Mission, – SCM press, 2023.
