Alexander Chow

File:曹-bronze.svg

My real name is Alexander Chow and, on many social media websites, my username is caorongjin, the pinyin form of my Chinese name ({{Zh|t=曹榮錦|s=曹荣锦|p=Cáo Róngjǐn}}).

I work professionally as a senior lecturer in the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, in the areas of Christian theology and world Christianity.{{Cite web|url=http://www.ed.ac.uk/profile/dr-alexander-chow|title=Dr Alexander Chow|last=|first=|date=|website=University of Edinburgh|publisher=|access-date=28 April 2017}}{{Cite web|url=https://alexanderchow.wordpress.com/about/|title=Profile|date=|website=Alexander Chow: Reflections on Chinese Christianity and Theology|publisher=|language=en-US|access-date=19 August 2016}} Some of my academic writings can be found listed on my [https://alexanderchow.wordpress.com/publications/ academic blog].

Inspired, I too thought it might be a good idea. The results can be found here:

We also ran a one-off event trying to redress the lack of biographical articles on women in religion through an edit-a-thon in 2016:
