In this episode, PhD candidate Lori Denning and Dr. Stacilee Ford, professor of history and gender at Hong Kong University, discuss the complexity of LDS identity in southeastern Asia. Their discussion is based on “Claire’s” story, a woman from Malaysia with a multi-faith background. Through her church service and studying at BYU-Hawaii, Claire connects her church membership with unexpected opportunities to gain an education, valuable employment, and develop skills. This episode explores how Asian converts navigate the impact of religion on family dynamics and their social status.
