🌍 Announcing the 2026 Global Mormon Studies Conference Call for Papers

[Michelle Graabek]

Dear all,

We are thrilled to share the Call for Papers for our upcoming October 2026 Global Mormon Studies Conference, to be held in Nairobi, Kenya!

Conference Theme: Crossing Boundaries: Mormonism in Africa within Global Christianity
This landmark gathering will explore the rich and diverse expressions of Latter-day Saint faith in Africa, and how African experiences reshape our understanding of global Mormonism and Christianity.

Nairobi provides a vibrant and significant setting for this conversation, and we look forward to convening scholars from around the world for a dynamic and inclusive exchange.

📣 Call for Papers Now Open!
We invite proposals that engage with the theme from any disciplinary perspective.
You can find full details, including submission guidelines and deadlines, in the Call for Papers here: https://www.globalmormonstudies.org/gms-2026-conference/ 

We hope you'll consider submitting a proposal, encouraging colleagues to participate, and making plans to join us in Kenya. Please feel free to share this announcement widely.
