Description
In this audiovisual recording from Tuesday, March 21, 2006, as part of the 37th Annual UND Writers Conference: "Border Crossings," Barry Lopez delivers the presidential lecture. In this lecture, Lopez explains some omnipresent questions that surround our relationships with outsiders, and in this explanation reveals who he is as writer, where he grew up, and his responsibility to challenge the world to question government and corporate power. Lopez encourages border crossing, examines the importance of language and endangered languages, and examines the circumstances of Meriwether Lewis's suicide. His lecture moves into the relativity of biology on Earth, understanding knowledge and wisdom, and the dangers of political control and profit.
