Updated: -

10/1/07

The Center for Integrative Studies and the Campus Reading Celebration invite the entire campus and local community to a series of discussions of this year¹s book.  Each discussion will focus on one section of Guns, Germs & Steel to build interest, understanding, and critical perspectives in anticipation of author Jared Diamond’s visit on Nov. 14.  All discussions will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Commons Room at Anacapa Village.

• Nov. 27: “Around the World in Five Chapters”

Each evening will begin with a few individuals bringing diverse insights, intriguing questions, and provocative challenges to the table. These discussion starters need not be experts or “talking heads” and will include students, staff, faculty, and community members. Those who have an interest in a particular section and wish to play a role as one of these facilitators are asked to contact Brad Monsma, professor of English, brad.monsma@csuci.edu or Debi Hoffman, assistant librarian, debra.hoffmann@csuci.edu for more information.
