Engaged Reading

This Engaged Reading event will feature John Green's Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection. This event will take place at Watson Library in The Kettle (3rd Floor).

Discussion facilitated by Katherine Knowles (Hall Center for the Humanities) and Samantha Greeson (KU Libraries).

Healthy democracy fosters an exchange of ideas across experiences and knowledge. Rooting discussion in shared reading and collaborative understanding makes space for this exchange to emerge. Engaged Reading promotes learning and inquiry across populations at the University, through common texts. Inspired by the KU Reads / Common Book program, and curated with goals of generous and generative conversation, this series features broadly relevant texts for reading alongside facilitated discussion with scholars and practitioners in related fields. This event is presented in conjunction with KU Reads: A Common Book Experience.
