Description

Radical acts impel change, and the act of reading, perhaps more than any other
enterprise, has profoundly shifted our human experience...” So opens the first
sentence of our description of this year’s symposium. In preparation for this panel,
we asked faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences to identify books
“the reading of which changed us” (with us meaning society broadly, our disciplines
or even us as individuals). Five faculty from three different departments will discuss
their personal book selections. In addition, a list of other books will be shared at the
end of the session from faculty who couldn’t participate personally. We will also solicit
nominations of other books from the audience of the session.
