MR 1:16 The Troublesome Transition - A Conversation with Dr. Sean Flynn
from A More Perfect Fellowship: Faith, Democracy and Difficult Conversations · host Joel Allen
A conversation with Professor Sean Flynn, chair of the history department at Dakota Wesleyan University. We discussed the troublesome transition from the Trump to the Biden presidency. Just how destructive can these days become to our national well-being? Where are we headed and are there any historical precedents? I found this conversation comforting and grounding. The center will hold. I've paste below some information from Dr. Flynn's bio page at DWU. Year Started: 1999 Education History: South Dakota State University (BA degree), Texas Tech University (MA and Ph.D. degrees) Professional History: He has been awarded the United Methodist Church General Board of Higher Education and Ministry Teaching Excellence Award and the Clarke Award for Teaching Excellence Award. He has written four books, including "Without Reservation: Benjamin Reifel and American Indian Acculturation" (Pierre: South Dakota Historical Society Press, 2018), a biography of South Dakota's only American Indian congressperson; and "Chief, Marine Corps Warrior" (2003), a military biography of Flynn's father, a decorated aviator and Korean War POW and one of the few pilots of American Indian descent to fly combat missions in World War II and Korea.
