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.
