The Asprey CCAS Engaging Science Book Club aims to facilitate conversations among faculty in the social and natural sciences, and the humanities, both among themselves and with the broader community on and off-campus.  Organized around a campus-wide book club, general audience books on scientific topics are chosen for their contemporary relevance, and the book club is linked to other activities such as lectures or workshops.<\/p>\n

ACCAS has a small budget for purchasing books, speaker honoraria, refreshments, etc.  If you have a specific suggestion for a future Engaging Science Book Club, please contact Asprey CCAS Director Megan Gall.<\/p>\n
