The Queer Possibilities of Mormon Theology
American Child Bride
Nicholas L. Syrett taps into an enormously important but surprisingly overlooked aspect of the history of American marriage: the (gendered) history of marriages to minors.

Theory on the diffusion of innovations has been used to study the spread of new ideas and practices for over 50 years in a wide variety of settings.
