Navigating Mormonism's Gendered Theology and Practice : Mormon Women in a Global Context

"This dissertation examines the perspectives, ethical priorities, and gendered navigations of traditional religious women of color within Mormonism, a family-centered and highly gendered American-born religion. Using primarily the method of oral history interviews, I analyze the complex agency Mormon women of color enact in Mexico, Botswana, and the U.S. as they adopt and adapt their Mormon faith to their particular contexts. The following questions drive this project : How do questions of gender register to women of color in the U.S. and global south? What ethical imperatives do women of color, global and American, emphasize as they live their Mormon lives? Where are the sites of tension and resonance as they adopt and adapt Mormonism to their contexts? How do women enact a complex agency as they navigate their sometimes-conflicting loyalties? In this intersectional examination of the experiences of women of color navigating issues of gender, race, class, and culture within a Mormon context, I argue that the end toward which these women often direct their agentive acts is not typically gender equality; rather, it is the establishment of healthy vitalizing connections with other people and the divine."
