Tim Schorn, Ph.D., takes University of South Dakota honor students, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute learners and SDPB listeners on a journey.

He brings us a preview of his travel writing seminar to learn about the trips and works of history's great travel writers.

We travel the world through the centuries with Roman poets, Islamic wanderers, Silk Road voyagers and groundbreaking women.

Schorn is an associate professor of political science and the coordinator of the international studies program at USD.
