Jan Shipps
Jo Ann Barnett "Jan" Shipps〔Full name from 〕 (born 1929) is an American historian specializing in Mormon History, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century to the present. Shipps is generally regarded as the foremost non-Mormon scholar of the Latter Day Saint movement, having given particular attention to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her first book on the subject was ''Mormonism: The Story of a New Religious Tradition'' published by the University of Illinois Press. Recently, The University of Illinois Press published her book ''Sojourner in the Promised Land: Forty Years Among the Mormons'', in which she interweaves her own history of Mormon-watching with 16 essays on Mormon history and culture.
== Career as a scholar ==
Shipps has a Ph.D. in history. She taught at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis for many years and is now professor emeritus of history and religious studies. Her interest in Mormonism was sparked when she lived briefly with her young family in Logan, Utah in the 1950s, graduating from Utah State University in 1961. A lifelong practicing Methodist, Shipps is widely respected in Mormon historical circles, as well as secular historical circles, for her ability to understand Mormonism on its own terms while maintaining sufficient distance as an outsider. Shipps served as a senior editor of ''The Journals of William McLellin, 1831-1836'', the earliest extended account of the Mormon experience. She was the first non-Mormon and the first woman elected president of the Mormon History Association. Her articles about the Latter-day Saints have been published in a number of both academic and popular journals, and she speaks frequently about Mormonism to both Mormon and non-Mormon audiences.
