We are now accepting submissions for our annual [Sense of Place] issue of On Second Thought magazine. ​​

The Sense of Place issue of On Second Thought magazine is an annual collection of essays, poems, and stories showcasing some of the best writing from or about North Dakota.  You do not have to be a current resident or a North Dakota native to submit.  You simply have to demonstrate a connection to North Dakota personally or in your writing. 
This Sunday, join us for a special event featuring local author, Tom Isern.

Tom will provide a reading of his book "Pacing Dakota" which takes the reader "from the close confines of historical archives into the prairie landscapes of the northern plains. It speaks with the mingled voices of scholarly historian, outdoor sportsman, culinary enthusiast, lifelong Lutheran, and prairie farmboy."

Proceeds from the sale of Tom's book will be donated to
Humanities North Dakota.

Support your local bookstore, local talent, and the humanities!
Donate to Humanities ND and help us strengthen civics education.

Americans are growing less familiar with our country’s origins and key institutions and becoming less informed about critical issues facing our democracy.

Humanities North Dakota has a crucial role to play in addressing this challenge. We believe it is critical for the health of our democracy that each generation learns our history and founding principles and understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens. 
​
At a time when our nation is so polarized and trust in our institutions is at an all time low, a renewal of civics education at all levels of society is critical to restoring our democracy. ​
