<h2>SATURDAY CONCURRENT SESSIONS</h2>
<br/>
<strong>Who Signed Me Up for This? Exploring LDS Women's Agency</strong><br/> (Kelly Austin, presenter). LDS women often feel overwhelmed by the gleaming specter of Mormon femininity that arose in Fascinating Womanhood and continues to appear in Mormon Mommy blogs. What happens when agency feels more like the freedom to pick our favorite shade of “perfection” than like the power to control our own destiny?
<br/><br/>
<strong>Who Has the Sign Up Sheet, Anyway? When Faith Falters</strong><br/> (Ganie DeHart, presenter). Unexpected challenges—whether they result from our own decisions or not—can try our faith. How can we maintain a sense of God’s love for us when things go wrong?
<br/><br/>
<strong>Who Else Has Signed Up? Finding Harmony When Values
Collide</strong><br/> (Margaret Peterson, presenter). Sometimes we find ourselves living among people who do not share our customs, beliefs or values--at school, at work, in our neighborhoods, or even at church. How can we find harmony within a diverse community while maintaining our religious identity and personal integrity?
<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Wow! Really? Is This What I Signed Up For? Truth, Tradition and the Troubling</strong><br/> (Jana Riess, presenter). In Mormon culture, core doctrinal truths often get mixed up with traditional practices. How do we discern between what Latter-day Saints really believe and what some of our brothers and sisters just think we believe? And how do we reconcile our personal beliefs with doctrines we find troubling?
<br/>

<h2>MIDWEST PILGRIMAGE 2011 PRESENTERS</h2>
<br/>
<strong>Kelly Austin</strong> routinely bites off more than she can chew. She is the often-frazzled but happy mother of four. A BYU grad and visiting instructor of English at Xavier University in Cincinnati, she teaches what she can about writing and literature to tired, texting students.
<br/><br/>
<strong>Debbie Blakely</strong> is a licensed counselor and therapist, currently working in her own private practice in the Chicago area. Her favorite clients are couples and families, which means that she especially enjoys facilitating communication and resolving conflict between people who love each other, but also annoy each other. “That said,” she says, “I'm wondering if our [Midwest Pilgrims] group might fit that same description?”
<br/><br/>
<strong>Ganie DeHart</strong> is professor and Psychology Department chair at SUNY Geneseo, where she teaches developmental and cross-cultural psychology and does research on children's sibling and friend relationships. So far she's survived a Mormopresbyheathen childhood, BYU, a temple marriage, infertility, an unfaithful husband, a divorce, spiritual homelessness, an unexpected return from the wilderness with a completely restructured faith, and four years as a seminary teacher--none of which she remembers signing up for.
<br/><br/>
<strong>Margaret Peterson</strong>: Coming soon.
<br/><br/>
<strong>Jana Riess</strong> has a Ph.D. in American religious history from Columbia University and is a convert to the church. She is the author, co-author, or editor of nine books, including What Would Buffy Do?, Mormonism for Dummies, and Flunking Sainthood, forthcoming in November. She blogs about Mormonism, spirituality, and popular culture for Beliefnet.com from her home in Cincinnati.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;">
Sister Laura Leming is a Marianist (Catholic) Nun and an associate
professor and chair of the Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work
Department at the University of Dayton. Prior to her appointment to the faculty, she had served for thirteen years as a campus minister. Sr. Leming received her Ph.D. from Boston College with a dissertation focusing on Catholic women’s religious agency.
<p>
In 2003 Sr. Leming was awarded a Fichter grant from the Association for the Sociology of Religion to extend her research on Christian women in southern India while teaching on UD’s campus in Bangalore. She returned to India in 2006 and 2009 to conduct more interview research in Delhi and Ranchi.
<p>
Sr. Leming has published articles in <em>The Sociological Quarterly</em> and <em>Review of Religious Research</em> and book chapters in <em>Vocation and Social Context</em> (2007) <em>Children’s Human Rights</em> (2005) and <em>The Handbook of Research on Catholic Higher Education</em> (2003). Her primary areas of study are religious agency—particularly as it applies to women in a patriarchal church—and the challenge of maintaining one’s religious identity in a multicultural setting.
