The Foyer
Many of the most important conversations in a Latter-day Saint ward happen not in the chapel or a classroom but in the meetinghouse foyer. In each episode of “The Foyer,” one or more distinguished guests will join Dr. Patrick Mason for a thoughtful but informal conversation about Mormon history and culture. Episodes will be video cast live with audience Q&A.

Leonard J Arrington Chair at Utah State University
Yes, Mormon women were pioneers and polygamist wives. But how have women shaped the history of Mormonism since polygamy? Our guest will be Dr. Colleen McDannell, who is the Sterling M. McMurrin Professor of Religious Studies and Professor of History at the University of Utah. She is the author of several books on American religious history, including the recent book Sister Saints: Mormon Women Since the End of Polygamy.
