Elray Gene Henriksen

With several years of experience as a peace worker, I am currently engaged in PhD research on the Book of Mormon in contemporary American politics at MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society and work also in my capacity as adviser for internationalisation.

In addition to my studies, I worked for the UN system at the World Bank in DC and for UNDP in Burundi. I also coordinated civil society programmes for Norwegian Church Aid and worked with the organisation’s global strategy.

While in Brussels between 2016-2022, I volunteered in several capacities for Community of Christ Europe and developed key communication skills at MA level and professionally. I also started a local non-profit with Congolese refugees called «co-citizens».
