HEATHER MALONEY-STASSEN Maloney-Stassen said Dr. Benjamin Bates is “one of those dream writing partners.” She considers him fluent in piecing together information, and both share interests in advocacy-related academic research. The theoretical frame Maloney-Stassen has worked with most in her research is the ideograph. Along with Dr. Bates, she has analyzed how definitions of words can be influenced by different public viewpoints, which can change over time. Within her research on marriage, Maloney-Stassen has also addressed polygamy and depictions of it in the news or other media. Examples include the HBO program, "Big Love" and the raid on the Yearning for Zion ranch in Texas.
