In Memoriam: Jan Shipps
April 16, 2025
Historian Jan Shipps made many impacts across the Mormon Studies world, and Dialogue is no exception. First we have her great essay “An ‘Inside-Outsider’ in Zion” that we at Dialogue audio rendered. Please enjoy.
Other offerings include a “Short Notices” review and “Spinning Gold: Mormonism and the Olympic Games.”
Her work was also reviewed, including Thomas Alexander’s review of “Substantial, Important, Brilliant | Jan Shipps, Mormonism: The Story of a New Religious Tradition” and Bradley Woodworth’s review of “A Travelogue Nonpareil | Jan Shipps, Sojourner in the Promised Land: Forty Years Among the Mormons.”
Our deep condolences to her family and friends and join those other scholars in thanking Jan for all her good work and community building.
