Thank you to The Exponent for letting me write this post! It was wonderful to talk about my research journey. I am still looking for participants, so please reach out! I would love to talk with anyone interested or involved with LDS or Evangelical blogging or influencer culture.

"What influencers choose to share, and what they choose to conceal, contribute to the public perception of what it means to be a Mormon woman."

I’ve presented at AAR several times, but this is my first time making a panel, and it is going to be amazing! “Material Culture and the Boundaries of Masculinity” Sunday at 5pm in HB-Cobalt 502A. Come hear me talk about homoerotics in Arnold Friberg’s Mormon paintings!

@McCutcheonSays Oh my gosh, yes! I assign podcasts in my NRM class, Cult Favorite and Keeping it 101, they are awesome! I was interviewed for a few articles about the show, which did then require me to explain both TikTok and soft swinging to many extended family. Worth it!

[Kate Davis @katesargedavis]

@McCutcheonSays Thanks! I do religion and gender, I kept adding hyphenates so I do oral history/archives too. My research is mostly about gender performativity by Mormon and Evangelical influencers. It’s having a moment thanks to the new Hulu show, so the press has been unexprected but fun!

[Kate Davis @katesargedavis]

I had a great time talking about MomTok, Mormon influencers, and gender roles! https://t.co/HcaxjTHRUk

Some findings that show a significant partisan difference based on age among Latter-day Saints. As a historian of this tradition, the religious right had a lock on LDS since the anti-ERA alliance they formed in the 1970s. But huge splits among LDS appeared over SSM 1/

@jstuart__ I bought mine quite cheaply off of Facebook marketplace, but I really like having it!

I LOVE TO WORK WHILE TRAVELING

I LOVE TO BE STRESSED OUT ABOUT THE WIFI SITUATION IN A PLACE I DREAMED OF VISITING AS A CHILD

I CARRY MY PRISON WITH ME BY CHOICE AND THAT MEANS IT CANNOT BE BAD RIGHT

I’m getting to attend MHA in person for the first time this year, and I am feeling some big new kid at school feelings. The trials of being an interdisciplinary weirdo!

[The Associated Press @AP]

Medics across the U.S. have been quietly injecting sedatives to subdue people detained by police.

Dozens of deaths reveal the practice carries risks, AP finds. https://t.co/nLgwgWxcRp

Making funeral potatoes for the final in my Death and What Comes Next class. It is the end of a good and difficult semester and we all deserve a little treat.

Tonight, Ohioans sent a clear message: politicians have no place in women’s health care decisions.

[Kate Davis @katesargedavis]

Absolutely excellent news for Ohio and for the Indigenous peoples who have fought so long for this! https://t.co/Cnm3m4vBtF
