Syfte
I am a part-time PhD student at Oxford Center for Mission Studies, Oxford, UK. Part of the requirement for this program is to fulfill a residency requirement of at least six weeks at Oxford every year. Since my principal supervisor is Mika Vähäkangas, Professor of Mission Studies and Ecumenics at Lund University, Sweden, I plan to visit him and attend seminars at Lund, as well as attend a conference at Abo Akademi University, where Prof. Vähäkangas currently works. All these events are around mid-March. So part of the residency will be fulfilled at Lund and Abo. Keeping this in view, my budget will reflect travel and living expenses involved:
i) Return tickets from India to Oxford
ii) Return tickets from Oxford to Lund and Turku (Abo)
iii) Living expenses both at Oxford, Lund and Turku (Abo)

Statement of progress:
The fund has helped my research progress over the last two years. I have been able to finish my fieldwork and now working to submit a draft of my PhD thesis by December third week this year (2022).
I was able to travel to use research resources at Oxford University, Abo Akademi and Lund University. I was able to meet my first supervisor in person for the first time and attend conferences and seminars that have introduced me to new frameworks relevant for my research.
I remain sincerely grateful to the society for granting me the funds. I aim to complete my PhD within a year or so, God-willing. I look forward to contribute to my local church (Union Baptist Church, Kohima, Nagaland, India), to the education sector in Nagaland (India), and continue to write and publish once my PhD is complete.
