Harriet Anne Palin
Harriet's project explores the religious education throughout the sixteenth and seventieth centuries. Her PhD title is 'Educating England - The Network of Religious Education: Catechism, Prayer, Preaching & Hymn'.
Project description
Harriet’s PhD project looks at the interactions between different media of religious education throughout sixteenth and seventeenth century England, chief amongst them: catechism, prayer, preaching and hymn. Each is viewed through the lens of public and private worship; internal and external signs of election; active and passive forms of faith; and intentional versus subconscious pedagogies. Harriet aims to add to the growing debate located in the historiography of the English Reformation which evaluates the conscious involvement of laypeople in developing their Faith.
