Profile

Morgan Crago Melkonian
PhD student in Biblical and Historical Studies
Morgan works on the history of Protestantism in Latin America and the United States, with a particular focus on historic Protestant denominations and ecumenism in 20th century Brazil. Her dissertation analyzes the ways that Brazilian Protestant ecumenical leaders envisioned and articulated the social responsibility of their churches from the 1930s to the 1960s, investigating how their thought shifted from a philanthropic understanding of social action, focused on public health and literacy, toward an understanding that Christian social responsibility required participation in political revolution.
