About
W. Paul Reeve is an associate professor of history at the University of Utah and formerly the Associate Chair of the history department. He is on the board of editors of the Utah Historical Quarterly and previously on the governing board of the Mormon History Association. The University of Illinois Press published his first book, Making Space on the Western Frontier: Mormons, Miners, and Southern Paiutes, in April 2007. The Mormon History Association awarded Making Space the Smith-Pettit Best First Book award in 2008. He is co-editor with Ardis E. Parshall of Mormonism: A Historical Encyclopedia, published by ABC-CLIO in 2010 and co-editor with Michael Scott Van Wagenen of Between Pulpit and Pew: The Supernatural World in Mormon History and Folklore (USU Press, 2011).
In 2007 Reeve was awarded a Mayers Research Fellowship at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California and a Virgil C. Aldrich Research Fellowship at the Tanner Humanities Center at the University of Utah. He is researching nineteenth-century notions of Mormon physical otherness, including ways in which outsiders racialized Mormons and a corresponding Mormon construction of whiteness. His book on the project, Religion of a Different Color: Race and the Mormon Struggle for Whiteness is under contract with Oxford University Press.
