GameChanger Series: Pulitzer Prize Edition

Each year the North Dakota Humanities Council hosts GameChanger, an ideas festival focused on a major event or issue significantly changing the face of our world.  We invite people close to the action to share their ideas for managing these changes in ways that will lead to a better, more prosperous world.  

In 2016, GameChanger honors the 100th anniversary of the Pulitzer Prize Foundation by encouraging people to reflect on the critical role of our free press and the pivotal events of our history. We have invited Pulitzer Prize winning historians and journalists to share their groundbreaking work and engage in dialogue with our audience. We have selected winners whose work focuses on current issues changing the face of our world, including: America’s troubled nuclear arms program; the legacy of racism in America; immigration; the ethical implications of DNA testing and the future of medicine; and accountability and abuse of power.

The event will highlight the vital importance of access to high caliber journalism and research and the public duty to use critical thinking skills to judge the reliability and credibility of news reports and information sources. 

Please refer to the GameChanger website for the complete schedule.
