Second Annual Juanita Brooks Conference
Utah Tech University
April 18-20, 2024
The Second Annual Juanita Brooks Conference will take place on April 18-20, 2024. Juanita Brooks wrote extensively about her family and other family relationships, biographies, as well as about southern Utah, most famously about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. We welcome papers related to Juanita Brooks’ work in southern Utah and its surrounding Mormon communities. The program committee invites scholars young and old, local and global, to investigate all aspects of these themes:
1) Family
2) Biography
3) Region (specific to southern Utah, Arizona, and Nevada)
While topics may address Latter-day Saint or Mormon history, the conference is not specifically centered on either theme.
