Early life and education

[edit]

Brown was born in India but educated in Britain.

Brown felt the call to ordination when she was young, before the ordination of women was allowed in the Anglican Communion.[4] She was trained at Ripon College Cuddesdon. She completed her Ph.D. at Girton College, Cambridge.

Career

[edit]

From 1990 to 2011, she was the Beit Professor of Commonwealth History and a Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford.[5] Earlier she taught at the University of Manchester. She retired from teaching in 2011.[1]

She was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 2009 and as a priest in 2010.[6] From 2009 to 2010, she served her curacy at St Frideswide's Church, Osney, in the Diocese of Oxford.[6] Since 2014, she has been an associate priest of St Mary Magdalen's Church, Oxford.[4] She served as interim chaplain to Brasenose College, Oxford in 2017; the first woman to serve as chaplain of the college.[6][7]
