Meet the Directors

We are offering a free, week-long writing retreat for approximately 6-8 graduate students, early-career faculty, and independent scholars working on topics related to Mormon studies. The Eugene England Summer Institute (EESI) fosters scholarship on “Mormonism,” broadly construed, through mentoring and peer support. We create community and relationships among scholars representing a diversity of backgrounds, research subjects, and methodologies.
