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.

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».
