Sara Améstegui

University of Aberdeen

Sara grew up in the heart of South America, Bolivia. She studied theology across the Atlantic in the UK and worked and taught in the Middle East, Palestine. Sara’s research blends her Latin American roots, Middle Eastern experiences, and Western education. Her work employs Critical Race Theory and postcolonial theory to critically analyse and deconstruct Christian Zionist discourse.

She holds a BA in Social Communication from Universidad Mayor de San Simón, along with a Diploma in Higher Education in Theology and a master’s in biblical studies from the London School of Theology. Currently, she is pursuing her PhD in Theology at the University of Aberdeen, where she continues to explore the intersections of culture, faith, and identity.

Sara currently resides in Bolivia with her husband Anton, a Palestinian, and their seven-year-old daughter, Nour Sofia. They embrace a diverse family life while actively engaging with their local community and fostering intercultural dialogue.
