Humanities scholar and author, Clay S. Jenkinson and Bismarck State College President Larry C. Skogen discuss Thoreau and how we are often so busy in habits, that we fail to observe the world.

These are conversations they both believe North Dakotans need to have. Their goal is to help people of the state reconnect with key events in their history within a broader social context and to spotlight Bismarck State College as an important player in promoting humanities within the community. These programs were funded in part by the North Dakota Humanities Council.
