Her thesis entitled ‘Pentecostalism, Politics, and Leadership in Zimbabwe’ investigates the way in which leadership in the three spheres of religion, civil society, and politics intersect and interrelate. Her thesis draws on aspects of culture and religion to build popular understandings about leadership in Zimbabwe and aims to show how the reproduction of structures of power takes place in different spheres and contexts.
