In over two decades in the Middle East, Moyra was involved in teacher –training for adult literacy (Arabic) for a decade and a half. Her PhD explored the gaps between what happened in the classroom and curriculum, and literacy practices in women’s everyday lives. As part of her DTh she completed ethnographic research in a women’s mosque programme in the Middle East. More recently she has been involved in educating people for cross-cultural ministry, with a focus on cultural anthropology and Islam. She has taught in a number of Bible colleges in Australia, the US and Asia.
