#MormonStudies folks! This is always a fun time.
I don't want to make y'all jealous, but I just finished reading Jonathan Stapley's new book on Latter-day Saint temple worship. It's a gift to Latter-day Saints and will be of tremendous interest to folks in religious studies:

After all this I now finally have a working title for my thesis:
"The Personal is Feminine: Gendered Quotations in LDS Sunday School Manuals" #mormonstudies
"The Personal is Feminine: Gendered Quotations in LDS Sunday School Manuals" #mormonstudies
"The personal is feminine" feels like a statement I've heard multiple times before so why does it only bring up a single blog post in google search results

Came across a fun satire today in which Ina Coolbrith describes her fellow poets as rare birds.
I wonder what @benjaminepark.bsky.social, @jstuart.bsky.social, and my other #MormonStudies would be like as birds?
Please imagine for me.

Can you think of any Mormon-specific ways of reading a sacred text? Many times when we're told to study the scriptures, it's just vague and general, without a specific description of a practice.

Weird fact from a graduate student paper: In 1945, the Bishop of the German-speaking Logan 10th Ward enrolled in the Boy Scouts to prove his Americanness. There was no technical age limit. He then earned his Scout Badge.
I imagine it looked something like this. #mormonstudies

Writing my thesis and again strongly feeling the lack of a history of the Sunday School organization. Would really love to cite a single book but nooooo I have to cite eight different news articles and five different interviews I've done. #mormonstudies

Ambrose Bierce was a 19th C humorist & skeptic. He briefly courted Ina Peterson, the granddaughter of Don Carlos Smith. Her aunt, concerned the older man had confessed to "using up" girls, put an end to it. It's unclear if the famous atheist knew of Peterson's ancestry.

In 1973, BYU published a bio of Ina Coolbrith, an important early California poet & Joseph Smith's niece. It ends with a strong statement of her faith in God. Spoiler: she flirted w/ theosophy, Buddhism, & agnosticism. Why do we make ppl in the past more faithful than they were? #mormonstudies
