Join the CTE in the Spring 2025 semester for a book club consisting of a series of moderated discussions scheduled to take place over a period of eight weeks (this will allow us to focus on one section of the book (four chapters) every two weeks, with an additional two-week period for final discussions and wrap-up.
Participants will decide whether the book club will take place virtually (in Teams or Zoom), face-to-face in the CTE, or in some sort of hybrid combination of both formats.
The CTE will provide copies of the book to the first 12 faculty who sign up. All other participants will need to purchase their own copies or access the text for free through the Kaufman Library (a direct link will be provided for everyone who signs up).
Moderator: Michael D. Smith (CTE)
Timeline / Schedule:
