Jane Schreck taught English at Bismarck State College for over 20 years, retiring in May 2021. Now professor emerita, she continues her connection to the college as the community representative for BSC’s Bringing Humanities to Life Program.
In 2009, Jane began researching and writing on the works of writer-farmer Wendell Berry for a doctoral dissertation. Digging into Berry’s thinking was life-changing in many ways and expanded her perspective beyond the industrial thinking of modern American culture to an agrarian view of the world. This ongoing scholarship is the source of sympathy for and understanding of the mission of FARRMS.
Jane and her husband Dan have two grown children. They live in Bismarck, where in the appropriate season, they enjoy bicycling, gardening, and cross-country skiing.
