Hi, I'm Tore.johnsen10. I am currently a PhD student in World Christianity at the University of Edinburgh.

About me
I am a Sami theologian and ordained Lutheran minister from Norway. I have for many years been involved in Sami church life in Church of Norway, and in the ecumenical indigenous peoples' network. The need for developing theology sensitive to pressing issues in the Sami context has concerned me since I was a theological student in the 1990s, and I have written several contributions on the matter. It exists a wikipedia page on me.

Academic interest
I have an academic interest in indigenous contextual theologies inclusive to the wisdom of indigenous traditions and the social and political struggles of indigenous peoples for recognition, dignity and human rights.
