Povedák Kinga amerikanisztika-néprajz szakon szerzett diplomát a Szegedi Tudományegyetem, majd ugyanitt angol szakfordító-tolmács végzettséget. „Rockapostolok. A keresztény könnyűzene vallástudományi vizsgálata” című doktori értekezését az SZTE BTK Történelemtudományi Doktori Iskolájában védte meg (2016). Kutatási témája a keresztény könnyűzene, kortárs vallási zene, valamint a vallás és populáris kultúra érintkezései. Korábban az MTA-SZTE Vallási Kultúrakutató Csoport munkatársa, az Ohio State University vendégkutatója volt. 2016 óta a University College Cork „Creative Agency and Religious Minorities: ‘Hidden Galleries’ in the Secret Police Archives in Central and Eastern Europe” ERC kutatási projektjének munkatársa. Bálint Sándor Emlékérmet, Sasakawa Ösztöndíjat kapott. 2016-ban elnyerte az American Folklore Society Don Yoder Paper Prize-t, az év legkiemelkedőbb vallási néprajzi témájú tanulmányáért.
