Scholars without Walls: How our book came to be and why
Lucy Brusic
Saturday, June 22, 2019 - 10:00am to 11:30am
Washburn Library, 5244 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55419
We will introduce our new book, Scholars without Walls: The History of the Minnesota Independent Scholars' Forum. The book, which will be available for purchase at this event, tells how a group of unemployed academics became a current-day organization with monthly meetings, study groups, a regular newsletter, and fiscal agency assistance. In addition to a history of the organization, this new book includes examples of writing by independent scholars—on subjects from health insurance to history.History Study Group
