Susanna Morrill

Dr. Morrill teaches courses in U.S. religious history up to 1865 and 1865 to present; colonial American history; women in U.S. religious history; the body and health in U.S. religious history; and a seminar focusing on American religions. These courses reflect her interests in researching women in U.S. religions and, specifically, in finding women (and men) in American history by looking at non-traditional, popular sources - the places in American culture that women were able to create and inhabit safely. Her work in the recent past has focused on how early Mormon women used popular literature in order to argue for the theological importance of their roles in the home, community, and church.
