The Revd Dr Robert MacSwain is Associate Professor of Theology at the School of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, USA. During the 2023-24 academic year he is a visiting scholar at Vanderbilt Divinity School, and also the American Yip Fellow at Magdalene during the Easter Term.
