Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought

The editor, Kristine Haglund, has B.A. and M.A. degrees in German literature from Harvard and the University of Michigan. "For having thus squandered her youth," she laughs, she has "been consigned to a penance involving endless hours in a minivan with three children, none of whom are interested in Hölderlin's lyric poetry, although they are otherwise gifted and delightful creatures." She says her interest in Mormon studies dates to when she was "five and heard a quotation from Brigham Young about the resurrection and became deeply troubled about the prospects of people eaten by lions."

	Dialogue is an independent Latter-day Saint quarterly that expresses Mormon culture and examines its relevance to everyday life. Its editors enjoy bringing their faith into conversation with the larger spectrum of world religious thought and human experience as a whole, as well as to foster artistic and scholarly achievement that is religiously based. The journal encourages a variety of viewpoints, with every effort to ensure the accuracy of the research and responsible judgment in the presentation.

	Her subsequent research interests have broadened to include Mormon women's history, the childrens' Primary organization, the evolution of Christology in hymns and liturgy, and Mormon discourse on family and gender roles. Not content to "be quiet and be thought a fool," she has publicly blogged on such topics since 2004 at Times and Seasons, By Common Consent, and The Red Brick Store. She has been a ward choir director "since I was sixteen, with brief periods off for good behavior." Currently she serves in her "other favorite church calling," teaching thirteen-year-olds in Sunday school. "In an effort to stay sane and in preparation for keeping up with soon-to-be teenagers," she says she has also taken up running in half-marathons. Haglund may be reached at P.O.
