Faculty and students from Brigham Young University’s School of Family Life continue to produce public scholarship aimed at informing both local and national audiences on marriage and family life. Where appropriate, they also engage constructively on matters of core importance to Brigham Young University and its institutional sponsor.

These contributions have reached influential audiences that total in the hundreds of thousands. From the New York Times to the Institute for Family Studies, faculty are participating in influential national conversations; and, in venues such as Church magazines or the Deseret News, faculty are helping BYU’s core constituents navigate contemporary complexities with informed, research-based perspectives aligned with the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

we have also seen the flourishing of student participation in public scholarship. Aided by the dedicated work of faculty members the School of Family Life is working to refine student writing into publishable articles that meaningfully contribute to the public discourse. Many students are now regularly drafting pieces with faculty and publishing in notable venues.
