My name is Cheryl Preston. I am a law professor at
Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I teach mainly business and
commercial law, but I research and write in feminist legal theory.
One major area of focus for me is the interrelationships among law/society
and religion and women/feminist values. I have finished a major project on
the importance of God-language and references to deity in the development of
legal theory and thus, the significance of male-only God-language in social
hierarchy.
I am a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (Mormon). I am now working on a piece that seeks to
understand women and feminist values in the context of traditional, even
fundamental, religious organizations. If anyone has insights on this
topic, please let me know.
I look forward to learning from you.
