Edudzi David Sallah is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the English Department at Gettysburg College. He holds a Ph.D. in English from Texas A&M University, where he also earned graduate certificates in Digital Humanities and Africana Studies. His research focuses on African American religious history and literature, with particular attention to the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church — its episcopacy, the often-marginalized contributions of women within the church, and the transnational dynamics between the church in the United States and its congregations across Africa and the diaspora.

Zion Episcopacy began as his Digital Humanities Certificate project at Texas A&M under the supervision of Dr. Amy Earhart and has grown into an ongoing digital archive complementing his current book project. His archival research has taken him to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Syracuse University, Hood Theological Seminary, and the AMEZ Corporate Headquarters in Charlotte, NC.
