Questions and Answers, with Kim Matheson and Ben Peters

Choosing a graduate program is only the first question; funding, family, dissertations, job searches, mentors, and professional boundaries soon follow. Kimberly Matheson, the Laura F. Willes Research Fellow at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at Brigham Young University, and Ben Peters, professor and chair of Media and Communication at the University of Tulsa, offer frank, information-dense answers drawn from their experience. Together, they place graduate training within discipleship to Jesus Christ, showing how family, service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, professional boundaries, and intellectual integrity can keep a scholar grounded while the work moves forward.
