Hina Khalid is an author and scholar of religion whose work explores theology, philosophy, and spirituality across Islamic, Christian, and Indic traditions. She completed her BA, MPhil, and PhD in theology and religious studies at the University of Cambridge.

Her previous publications have centered on issues of embodiment, gender, and spirituality across the Christian, Islamic, and Indic worldviews.
