The 2007 Mormon History Association conference has 6 presentations focused on Mormonism in Latin American countries. Six! That’s the most I can remember from any previous conference. Plus, there are other sessions addressing international church issues relevant to Mormonism within Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries. And, of course, there’s the inaugural meeting of the Association of Spanish and Portuguese Mormons Studies.

From the preliminary conference program, here are the sessions most directly related to Spanish and Portuguese Mormon Studies. (Read the article)

The inaugural meeting of the Association will be held May 24th, 2007, from 5-6 pm, in meeting room 1 at the Salt Lake City Hilton (255 South West Temple). This is the location and opening day of the Mormon History Association conference. The ASPMS meeting was scheduled so as not to conflict with the MHA events that evening.
There will be a conference call number for participation by phone. Contact sadams@byu.edu for the call-in number.

The Association of Spanish and Portuguese Mormon Studies is a group of scholars/publishers/consumers with an interest in Spanish and Portuguese Mormon Studies. The scope of the organization includes studies about Mormonism among Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries and individuals, and, more generally, Mormon studies written in Spanish and Portuguese.
The association’s draft objectives are to:
• Increase the level of contributions by Spanish and Portuguese speakers to Mormon Studies–in part by providing forums where such works can be easily reviewed, published, or distributed. (Read the article)
