Reunion is a podcast about how family history helps us understand the past and why it matters in the present. The series is sponsored by the Center for Family History and Genealogy and the Family History Program at Brigham Young University, which offers the only undergraduate degree in family history.
Every two weeks we speak with scholars, educators, and storytellers who use family history to ask large questions about history, kinship, and identity. Studying families shows what mattered most to people in the past and how those values shaped the world we inhabit now.
Family history is more than names and dates. It is a way to think about memory, emotion, power, and connection. It gives historians a flexible method for understanding subjects that range from slavery and migration to religious conversion and cultural memory.
I am Joseph Stuart, joined by my colleague Christopher Jones. We are assistant professors of history and faculty in BYU
