Montreal was so expensive, it set back our conference budget pretty significantly. Will try to make it. Montreal was so expensive, it set back our conference budget pretty significantly.

I've only attended a CSA conference once--when it was in conjunction with JWHA--but I really enjoyed it and have been trying to mold my interests in a way to submit a proposal. Looking over some past conference programs, they are never at a loss for interesting papers. Also, it might be helpful to <a href="http://timesandseasons.org/index.php/2009/02/mormonism-and-communal-studies/" rel="nofollow">link to Matt's guest post over at T&S</a> where he goes further into detail on the connections between communal and Mormon studies.

New Harmony is a great place to visit and has some interesting connections with early Mormonism. The communal experiments of the Harmonists and Robert Owen were internationally-renowned and provided some of the cultural context for the Mormons' experiments in communalism a decade later. The CSA always has interesting presentations on Mormonism, and some scholars of Mormonism (like Mario DePillis and Larry Foster) are regulars at the conferences. Thanks for putting this up, Ben.
