yeah so dialogue um full name is dialogue a journal of mormon thought and it was founded 60 years ago so uh 1966 and it was it was started by a group of um Latter-day Saints in Stanford.

So Eugene England was a graduate student at Stanford and he and some of his friends were interested in the intersection between sort of intellectual and academic thought and Mormonism and they wanted a place to publish um, both academic essays and things like poetry and, uh, personal essays and, and narratives.

And so they started, uh, dialogue and I don't think at the time, you know, any of them had a sense that this was going to be, uh, going 60 years later, but it has evolved over the decades.

And, um, and continues to fulfill that same mission.

Oh, I think Margaret covered that extremely well.

Yeah, I think I just want to emphasize that one of the things that distinguishes dialogue from other journals, especially academic journals, is that it does have this broad range of genre within every single issue.

We have the creative things like short stories and poetry and personal essay.

But then we do also have really hard hitting, legit, important references.
