Off to Harvard

This week I'll be attending a conference for LDS graduate students at Harvard Divinity School.

"Faith and Knowledge: Latter-day Saints in Religious Studies" is primarily for LDS grad students attending divinity schools, Religious Studies programs or who are pursuing other disciplines relevant to Mormon thought, doctrine and scholarship. I'm not a graduate student yet and my major is Mass Communications, but I will be attending the conference and plan to blog about the experience.

According to the conference website:

This conference will be a forum for discussion of issues relating to Mormon doctrine, culture and scholarship that arise while pursuing graduate studies in religion. It will be an open forum where students of divergent points of view will be free to express their concerns, questions, and thoughts and report their progress in reaching productive outcomes. We anticipate raising questions of how religious studies may enrich, while challenging, our faith as Latter-day Saints, and what can we bring to the issues under debate in religious scholarship.

Throughout the conference I'll be blogging my notes as well as personal thoughts and experiences here at LifeOnGoldPlates, so stay tuned.
