The Numad Group

Hello, friends. (Yes, we know we don't post very much on here.)

But do you remember that monthly series we held at The Garage all those years: Morning Fill Up? Well, those conversations turned into a book that was published last year in partnership with North Dakota State University Press.

Last week, we received some exciting news!

The book, "Rethinking Rural: Reflections on Today, Insights for the Future," is a finalist for a 2024 Midwest Book Award in two categories: Nonfiction - Anthologies and Nonfiction - Social Science/Political Science/Culture.

We asked 10 people -- all guests of the Morning Fill Up series -- how they would describe rural America today, and what they imagine it will like for the next generation. Each of the authors shares their concepts and their answers based on the lens through which they see the world.

This anthology begins the Rethinking Rural series, aimed at highlighting how people of diverse backgrounds and experiences understand rural historically and how they foresee its future, adding to the ongoing discussion of the multifaceted nature of rural America.

It's available where books are sold: https://www.amazon.com/Rethinking-Rural-Reflections-Insights-Future/dp/1946163546
