Alisi Langi

Alisi Langi serves as Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Religious Education at Brigham Young University–Hawaii, a position held since Fall 2021 following her tenure as Adjunct Faculty (Winter 2019–Spring 2021). Her academic work centers on integrating women's narratives into religious education, most notably through her development of the permanent 'Woman in Scripture' curriculum.

Her educational credentials include:

• J.D. in Law from J. Reuben Clark Law School, BYU Provo (2011)
• M.P.Adm in Public Administration with Non-Profit & Local Government focus, BYU Provo (2011)
• B.A. in Political Science, BYU–Hawaii (2005)

Langi's research explores Latter-day Saint women's experiences across Pacific and Asian contexts, emphasizing cultural preservation and gendered scriptural interpretation. Her forthcoming edited volume 'Voices of Latter-day Saint Women in the Pacific and Asia' (2024) represents a significant contribution to documenting regional religious narratives through indigenous female perspectives. Her scholarly approach consistently bridges theological analysis with ethnographic sensitivity.

Her publications reveal evolving thematic focus from legal biography toward collaborative Pacific-centered religious historiography, with increasing emphasis on decolonizing methodologies and oral tradition preservation in Latter-day Saint contexts. The 2024 works particularly highlight transnational connections and memory practices within Pacific Islander communities.

Langi's academic recognition includes:

• Truman Scholar (2004)
• Hoʻomanaʻo Presidential Full Tuition Scholarship (2002-2005)
• Abrelia Clarissa Hinckley Full Tuition Scholarship (2007-2008)
• Public Interest Law Foundation First Year Award (2008)
• ʻImi Naʻauao Scholarship (2007-2009)

Her pedagogical impact extends beyond curriculum development to multi-tiered mentoring, having guided students from elementary level through university while integrating legal and religious education frameworks. Her church service as Gospel Doctrine Instructor and Relief Society leadership complements her academic focus on lived religious experience.
