Pickens entitled "American National Character: A Useful Concept for Historians?" and a short promotional video for the University of North Texas history department. In his lecture, Pickens discusses the idea of an American national character tracking its inception and evolution over time starting with the influence of early idealism and materialism, and using Frederick Jackson Turner's "Turner thesis" or "Frontier Thesis" as the main authority in the creation of this American identity. Pickens explores the American national character concept's development through American history into the 21st century and the changing views and opinions of the original character concept due to events such as the New Deal, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Cold War, and the inclusion of women and minorities who were previously excluded from the character concept
