Language and Community: A Literary Discussion Group

Book club participants

Facilitated by English faculty, Nan Ma, this reading group for faculty and staff in any and all areas meets once a month for an hour to discuss short stories, poetry and essays chosen by group members.  Some writers discussed in the past include Toni Morrison, Angela Davis, James Baldwin, Camille Dungy, Terrance Hayes, Ocean Vuong, Layli Long Solider, Beidao, Louise Glück and Amy Hempel.  Literature offers nuanced ways for understanding human complexities and differences and the ways in which social forces impact relationships. Through literary discussions, we gain insights into ourselves, our students, and the world at large.  Join us for one or all three gatherings for rich discussions with our peers!

 

 

Virtual Monthly meetings via Zoom: January 27, February 10, March 10, 1:30 – 2:30 p.m.
