The aim of this activity is to bring together faculty members, graduate students and advanced undergraduate students from different subfields to read and discuss books that have left a significant mark in the social sciences and humanities. The reading group is the opportunity to join us in a collective effort to read great works more closely and to partake in a (casual, yet productive) interdisciplinary dialogue. Please share the word with anyone who would be interesting in discussing this year’s author.
