I do look forward to hearing their reaction to the documentary. Margaret: There is another session on “African Americans and the LDS Church” other than yours.

I don't know if the "African Americans and the LDS Church" refers to us or there's something else as well. We’re showing _Nobody Knows_ at AAR.

I think this might be due to the AAR/SBL split than begins this year. A lot of the LDS grad students and BYU faculty that fall into the biblical studies arena rather than Mormon studies might forgo AAR and attend SBL instead.

I'm in the Death, Dying, and Beyond Consultation, on Monday morning. Presenting on Marie Ogden and the Home of Truth: a little episode wherein a community member died but Marie refused to turn the body over to the county health officials: insisted she wasn't dead, just sojourning on the other side of the veil. Konden Smith, at ASU, is also presenting. He's in the North American Religions section, with Kathleen Flake moderating. He is presenting on the Romney GOP primaries and memory. Thanks dudes.

Congrats to Stan on getting a spot on the program. AAR is a very competitive conference--it's tough to get accepted. Stan, if you are out there, in which section will you be presenting? I checked and it hasn’t been posted to the AAR website yet.

I will try to find a link, but you may need a membership to get to the info. It’s actually just the “Program Planner” that has been released, so not everything is in it yet.

From what I hear, the session on Blacks and the LDS Church is promising. It's also worth noting that JI's own Stan Thayne will be presenting at the meeting, though not on a Mormon topic.

I remember this being kicked around during the business meeting at the AAR last year, and everyone acknowledged that it would be risky. Still very much worth attending, I'm sure.
