Professor given Mormon history award

Robert Goldberg, a professor in the history department in the College of Humanities at the University of Utah, received the Thomas Kane Award from the Mormon History Association earlier this year for his defense of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and raising awareness of anti-Mormon sentiment on campus and outside of the state. "(Goldberg) has been a defender of Mormonism at the U and has challenged the university community to become more aware of discrimination against the majority," said Paul Reeve, a professor in the history department who nominated Goldberg for the award. "(Goldberg has) ensured the Mormons' past is treated with respect and has encouraged further study into their history." To read more about Goldberg and the Thomas Kane Award please click here.
