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. Here is a link to the Call for Papers poster: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GyxPZOdr3gMbTf1mSRjarfLma226z_if?usp=drive_link 

Best wishes,

Michelle Graabek-Wallace and the 2026 Conference Committee

I just noticed that the conference conflicts with BYU’s Church History Conference, to be held Oct 22-23

Ugh.

Dear all,

Just so you are aware, we are extending the deadline for paper proposals for our 2026 conference 1 week, so if you haven't yet submitted, but would like to, you have until end of Monday 10th November! I look forward to seeing your proposals and a promising conference in Kenya!

Best,
Michelle
