"Latter-day Saints & Their World" Series

The American West has long been known for its grand geological forms and its wild natural beauty. It has been less recognized for its role in nurturing American religious diversity.  The University of Wyoming Religious Studies Program has launched this lecture series to explore Mormonism, an important piece of the religious mosaic of the American West.  This multi-year lecture series brings distinguished scholars from around to world to the UW campus to share their insights with the Wyoming community.
