Jan Shipps had her first contact with Mormonism in 1960 when she enrolled at Utah State University. Though she only spent nine months in Logan, this time period inspired a lifetime study of Mormonism. She began her scholarship at a time when the demographics of the Church were shifting, as more people became members through conversion rather than birth, and when intellectual scholarship about Mormonism began moving away from the "us" and "them" mentality. This scholarship has somtimes been referred to as New Mormon History, and it approaches the history of Mormonism from the perspective of the "inside-insider" and the "outside-insider." Shipps, however, is an inside-outsider, and this status enabled her to explain Mormonism to the world and "Mormons to themselves." Hansen reviews Shipps most recent work, "Sojourner in the Promised Land", but also discusses Shipps work as a "scholar of Mormonism, set within the context of the historiography of Mormonism and American Culture."
