Heather Howell Kelley: Mormon Scholars and Mormon Families in Family Studies: A Brief Re Mormon Scholars and Mormon Families in Family Studies: A Brief Retrospective David C. Dollahite, Loren D. Marks, and Heather Howell Kelley Family studies is more an interdisciplinary hybrid than a stand- alone discipline. Specifically, the field integrates research methods, approaches, and interests from sociology, psychology, human develop- ment, and marriage and family therapy—and (to lesser degrees) other fields, including history, economics, anthropology, public policy, and medicine. A defining feature of family studies is a focus in its research, theory, clinical practice, and educational efforts on relationships and processes between family members. Whereas sociology examines what happens in society and psychology focuses on what happens in the individual mind, family studies strives to capture families and family relationships in an ecological context.

  • A History of Dialogue, Part Two: Struggle Toward Maturity, 1971-1982
    A History of Dialogue, Part Two: Struggle toward Maturity, 1971-1982 Devery S. Anderson AFTER DIALOGUE: A JOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT was founded by Mor- mons at Stanford University in 1966, it attracted Latter-day Saint schol- ars from all over the United States, and soon its success surpassed the ex- pectations of everyone involved. It mattered little that Dialogue was an independent publication without institutional ties or subsidies. As Mor- mon intellectuals flocked to sample the offerings of the new journal, sub- scriptions soon approached 8,000. With this phenomenal interest, the ed- itors of the new journal proved early on that there was a need for a scholarly publication which would satisfy the spiritual and intellectual needs of faithful but thinking Mormons. It dealt with issues as no LDS publication ever had and found that, in creating an independent voice, Mormonism was ultimately the better for the exchanges. Along with those who came to value Dialogue as part of their own quest, however, were many who came on board only out of curiosity. Once that curiosity had been satisfied, their subscriptions permanently lapsed. There were others who waited in vain for an official endorsement of Dialogue from LDS leaders. For them, the church's announced position of neutrality was not sufficient.1 Uncomfortable reading a Mormon-ori- ented publication that the church did not officially sanction, they, too, severed their relationship with the journal. By 1970, Dialogue was left with one managing editor, and the added responsibility began to take its toll. Publication soon fell behind schedule and, as a result of all of the above, subscriptions dropped to 5,000 before the end of the first editor- 1, See the announcement in the Priesthood Bulletin 3 (March-June 1967): 1.
