The Mormon History Association is conducting a search for the editor of the Journal of Mormon History. The editor of the journal determines the content, solicits submissions, oversees peer review, works with submitting authors in performing substantive and stylistic content editing, and coordinates with a JMH production staff and the University of Illinois Press to ensure that quarterly issues of the journal are published according to deadline and within budget. The editor has full editorial control of the journal but reports to the MHA Board of Directors in maintaining a high-quality product that serves as the flagship publication for the organization. The Mormon History Association is particularly interested in mid-career and senior scholars with experience in the history of the Mormon tradition but will consider submissions by all qualified applicants.
The person chosen to be the editor will be appointed to a part-time four-year term beginning in December 2022, renewable at the discretion of the MHA Board of Directors. They will serve as co-editor until August 2023, when Jessie L. Embry will complete her term.

EIGHTH BIENNIAL FAITH AND KNOWLEDGE CONFERENCE
CLAREMONT GRADUATE UNIVERSITY
CLAREMONT, CA
MAY 19-21, 2023
The Faith and Knowledge Conference was established in 2007 to bring together Mormon graduate students (a member of any Restoration church) in religious studies and related disciplines in order to explore the interactions between religious faith and scholarship. During the past seven conferences, students have shared their experiences in the church and the academy and the new ideas that have emerged as a result. These papers and conversations provided thought-provoking historical, exegetical, and theoretical insights and compelling models of how to reconcile one’s discipleship with scholarly discipline.
