Institution: Rochester Community & Technical College, Rochester Community & Technical College
Content Description: "A Good Time for the Truth" explores race and intersectionality in Minnesota. Published in 2016, it experienced a resurgence after the murder of George Floyd. The authors, all from Minnesota, write personal memoirs about how race in Minnesota has affected their lives. The book provides a lot of great material for freshman composition courses. Plus, it is, quite simply, a book that everyone must read.

Title: Introduction to Humanities
Resource Contact: Larsen, Lori-Beth
Institution: Central Lakes College
Content Description: This course is an introductory survey of the genres and themes of the humanities. The material focuses on philosophy, religion, language, and the arts. As themes, the ideas of freedom, love, happiness, death, nature, and myth are be explored. Typically, a study of humanities looks at western philosophers, maybe a few of the world religions, a history of western music and western visual arts. This textbook begins to break down the barriers of limiting ourselves to learning primarily about western humanities. The question “What makes us human?” is answered by looking at many traditions.

Title: Critical Thinking & Cultural Competence: Resources, Content, and Assignments
Resource Contact: Labairon, Cassandra
Institution: South Central College
Content Description: The content, resources and assignments in this document can be used to strengthen critical thinking and creative thinking skills. Some of the content, resources and assignments can also be used to strengthen cultural competence. In addition to a wide variety of resources, the document includes original content, assignments and “thought journal” prompts that can be used individually, or they can be combined to build on each other. To avoid confusion, I’ve noted sources before and after long external content.

Title: Reading the Bible as Literature: a Journey
Resource Contact: Ondich, Jody
Institution: Lake Superior College
Content Description: The Bible is one of the most published books in human history. It is also one of the most misquoted, misunderstood and misused books in human history. This happens because people are not always aware that the Bible is not a book, it is a collection of diverse writings. The Bible might even be called an anthology, and it will include everything from poetry to genealogy, pithy sayings to architectural mandates, mythology to letters. Knowing what one is reading helps one understand the ideas in the writings. We read letters in the context of who wrote them and who received them. We read sermons understanding the speaker's perspective may differ from the listener's perspective. So this text is an attempt to give historic, literary, geographical and cultural context to a complex and often poorly understood set of materials. This is very much an ebook, and needs to be used in that format. Pdfs and other printed versions will lose a great deal of the content.

Title: World Religion: the Spirit Searching
Resource Contact: Ondich, Jody
Institution: Lake Superior College
Content Description: Humans across the globe and throughout millennia have searched for answers to questions like, "why are we here?" or "what am I supposed to do with my life?"And the answers people have found, or created, or chosen, have varied as widely as the cultures and people themselves. Some people focus on rules. Some focus on afterlives. Some look to become whole. Some seek adventure and learning.So this text, while full of various ways that people have searched and discovered and created, is only touching a few of the bigger traditions in our world. Hopefully each chapter will introduce the reader to some ideas from that specific tradition that enlighten them as to how a specific group of people think, believe, and live. This text is set up to be an ebook. The various videos, links and resources will only really work if the user keeps to the digital format. Read this book on a device or computer--it will be a much more rewarding experience! The translation to a pdf is less than successful, font sizes are erratic, which is not the case in the ebook, unfortunately, and printing this book will make for a very large and cumbersome chunk of paper!
