SUMMER SEMINAR ON JOSEPH SMITH<\/p>\n
Mormon Thinkers, 1890 to 1930
\nBrigham Young University
\nJuly 2-August 10, 2007<\/p>\n
In the summer of 2007, Brigham Young University will sponsor a summer seminar for graduate students and advanced undergraduates on the theme of AMormon Thinkers, 1890 to 1930.@ The seminar will be held on the BYU campus in Provo, Utah, from July 2 to August 10. Admitted participants will receive a stipend of $3000 plus a housing subsidy if needed. The seminar continues the series of seminars on Joseph Smith begun in the summer of 1997. <\/p>\n
The seminar will be conducted by Richard Bushman, Professor of History Emeritus at Columbia University and Terryl Givens, Professor of Literature and Religion at the University of Richmond.<\/p>\n
The aim of the seminar will be to investigate the thought of the major Mormon thinkers of this period: B. H.Roberts, James E. Talmage, John A. Widtsoe, and Charles Penrose. We will ask what they contributed to the thought inherited from Joseph Smith and the nineteenth-century Church, and how did they react to the cultural turmoil of the early twentieth century. This period saw the spread of Mormonism beyond the Great Basin to the West Coast and other regions of the country. It also marked the beginning of Mormon assimilation into American life. How did Mormon thinkers respond to these changes? Each participant will be asked to prepare a paper for presentation in a public symposium in the final week.<\/p>\n
Applications are welcomed from students of history, literature, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, philosophy and other humanistic and social scientific fields. Preference will be given to those with knowledge of Latter-day Saint history and experience in analyzing texts. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students at any level of preparation are eligible.<\/p>\n
Applications should be submitted by February 15, 2007. Notifications will be sent by March 15, 2007. For application materials, write to the Neal A. Maxwell Institute by surface or email. <\/p>\n
