The use of the bible in the institutional body language of Christian schools in India: mediating Western; Christian; or Western-Christian culture in contemporary India?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

As a white, British, female teacher educator I had the privilege of spending two summers conversing with children, parents and teachers in Indian Christian schools in India using an ethnographic approach to data collection within a qualitative research design. This chapter draws on some of the findings from a project funded by St Christopher’s Trust and the University of Cumbria. Visits were made to a sample of Christian foundation special schools and mainstream schools in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Assam and Mizoram—five Indian states which are very different politically, culturally and economically (British Council 2019).
