2024 Arrington Mormon History Lecture: Jana Riess

Lecture/Readings

Join Jana Riess, author and senior columnist for Religious News Service, for a lecture at the Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall on October 10. When the first Next Mormons Survey was conducted in 2016, a key finding was that Latter-day Saint women in the U.S. were, on average, more certain in their beliefs about God, Jesus, and the church than LDS men. That may well be changing. Dr. Riess will unpack the 2022-23 Next Mormons Survey’s findings about LDS women and religiosity, placing them in the larger context of the shifting American religious landscape.

Friends of the Library Fall Lecture: Slenderman

Lecture/Readings

While most people first learned of the creature known as Slender Man in 2014 in the wake of a gruesome attempted murder in Waukesha, Wisconsin, many fans and creators of the online genre known as "creepypasta" had already been familiar with him for years. Blending the tropes of folk legend and literary horror, creepypasta is a collaborative, hybrid genre that provides an entirely new outlet for scaring ourselves silly. This talk will consider the role that the internet has played in reshaping folklore and folk belief, and will examine several examples of contemporary online horror that illustrate the ways in which folklore continues as a symbolic barometer for society's anxieties and fears in the digital age.
