Summer VIRTUAL Great Books Reading Groups
Great Books Reading Group discussions will be held online this summer!
We may be physically separated from each other for the time being, but we can still connect with great minds from the past and share ideas with one another during these challenging times.
Join UNC faculty leaders for a robust discussion of classic texts, ancient to modern. Reading groups will meet on successive Tuesdays from 10 am to 12 pm over Zoom chat, and each participant will receive a copy of the book before the first session. Due to the nature of the reading groups, refunds cannot be offered. Seats are limited to 14 participants, so sign up early to reserve your seat!
To enroll in one or more of the Great Books Reading Groups visit our registration page and click the “register” button for “Great Books Reading Groups–Tuesday Mornings.” From there, you can select the book group(s) of your choice. You can also register over the phone by calling us at 919-962-1544. We will send you a copy of the book and a reading preparation guide approximately three to four weeks before the first meeting (or as soon as you register if less than three weeks before).
