Bio
HyeRan Kim-Cragg is the 14th Principal and holds the inaugural Timothy Eaton Memorial Church Professorship in Preaching at Emmanuel College. She also serves the Executive Committee of the Academy of Homiletics since 2021. Committed to an interdisciplinary approach to homiletics in practical theology, her teaching and research address a range of topics related to biblical interpretation, postcolonial theories, ecology, feminist homiletics and liturgy, migration, and decolonizing practices. As a recipient of The Rowntree Scholarship at The United Church of Canada Foundation (2019), She has done research on intercultural preaching, as this intersects with race, gender, and multiple identities of the preacher and the congregations.
