At the conference of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL) in Bergen, Norway in October 2018, Elizabeth Minnich gave a lecture titled "People Who Are Not Thinking Are Capable of Anything: What Are Students Learning How Are Students Learning It, and Does It Make Them Better People?" As a follow-up to the lecture, the ISSOTL community were invited to pose the questions to Professor Minnich. Questions from four members were received. Professor Minnich emailed her responses to each question and over the next six months there ensued several email exchanges between each contributor and Professor Minnich, which resulted in the first draft of this conversation. With the help of the above contributors, the exchanges were included into this conversation which not only addresses points in her keynote in Bergen, but also discusses the issues in her works.
