Engaged Reading

Healthy democracy fosters an exchange of ideas across experiences and knowledge. One way to offer a platform for this is to root discussion in shared reading and collaborative understanding. Engaged Reading is offered to promote learning and inquiry across populations at the University, through common texts. Inspired by the expansive reach of the KU Reads/Common Book program, and curated with goals of generous and generative conversation, this series will feature excerpts and texts presented with discussion stewards. Supported by a collaborative initiative of the KU Libraries, the Hall Center for the Humanities, the Spencer Museum of Art, the Institute for Policy and Social Research, and The Commons.
