Topic: Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) at Bryn Mawr College.
Methods: I worry that I will have to trace the students back through individual connections. This is okay for more recent graduates — I know a number of them myself — but I’m particularly interested in the students who were at Bryn Mawr during or before the 70’s (if there were any).
The main questions I want to answer are:
— What has been the experience of LDS students at Bryn Mawr? how has their experience changed their faith, or their faith changed their experience?
I might get into some of a:
— How did spirituality and rational inquiry become separate? why? what were the processes that went into this?
Side note:
This is the Mormon Hoop, a grassroots archive of LDS students from the class of 1999 to the present.
