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.

Please submit (1) a 150-word abstract for each paper or presentation and (2) a two-page CV for each presenter, including email and cell phone contact information. Previously published papers are not eligible for presentation. 

Limited financial assistance for travel and lodging at the conference is available to student, contingent, and independent scholars. If you wish to be considered, please include a proposed itemized budget with your submission. The deadline for proposals is January 15, 2024. Send proposals to the program co-chairs at jstuartteaching@gmail.com and cristina.rosetti@utahtech.edu as a single PDF. Acknowledgment of receipt will be sent ASAP. 

Notification of acceptance/rejection will be made by January 22, 2024.
