Mormon studies at the Pacific Northwest's AAR Conference, May 3–;5
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to present a paper at the American Academy of Religion's annual Pacific Northwest Region conference at Seattle University. The Mormon studies sessions were the first of their kind for the PNW gathering. They were sponsored by Kirk Caudle, an independent scholar from Portland, and Susanna Morrill, associate professor of religious studies at Lewis and Clark College. Broken out over three days, 19 scholars delivered papers on Mormonism. My notes here are confined to the Saturday sessions. Hopefully, these rough sketches of the presentations give a sense of the quality of work exhibited by these scholars and provide an opportunity for people to become more aware of the sort of questions currently being approached in Mormon studies. Comments, etc. are welcome on the MI Facebook page. —BHodges Kirk Caudle, 'Salvation Is Now: Joseph Smith and Salvation through the Recollection of Pre-existent Knowledge.'
