The Arizona Institute for Resilience is excited to welcome faculty, staff, students and friends to a monthly “book club” gathering!
Each meeting will explore a different resilience-oriented topic. Ahead of each meeting, we will provide suggested multimedia (such as podcasts, movies, books, or articles) for attendees to explore.
But! You’re not limited to those suggested materials – we encourage you to join in the conversation with your own recommendations and thoughts!
When and Where:
Stay updated on when and where the AIR Low Commitment Book+ Club will meet by joining our mailing and calendar invite list.
Who is Invited:
Anyone at the U of A interested in conversing about resilience and getting to know colleagues.
Questions?
If you have questions about the Low Commitment Book+ Club and how you can get involved, please reach out to Olivia Miltner, Maia Schneider, or Nancy Petersen.
Upcoming Meetings
- When: Tuesday, Sept 22 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Where: ENR2, Room N595 or Zoom
- The Vibe: Low commitment, high entertainment.
We are catching up and pitching books that became movies. We will read/watch and discuss/decide whether the book was actually better than the film at our October and November meetings. Come ready to pitch, debate, and cast your vote for the picks!
Email your book/movie showdowns to Olivia or just show up with them. See you there!
