Rethinking Place Reading Group Proposals Due

Students, staff, and faculty are invited to propose interdisciplinary reading groups. In supporting these groups, Rethinking Place wants to give the campus at large an open slate to develop and expand the Bard curriculum as a result of the kind of focused and collegial conversation that a reading group can provide. To the point of curricular development, part of the goal of each reading group will be to design or devise their own primary source document in the form of one interdisciplinary unit of instruction (i.e. a teachable lesson plan) that could ideally be used in multiple divisions across the college.

We encourage a broad range of fields and topics including, but not limited to: Native American and Indigenous Studies; Enslavement/Reparations; Latinx/ Immigration; and Humanities-focused environmental justice topics. 

“Rethinking Place: Deep Listening” will provide support for approved groups by purchasing copies of the selected text(s) for all members as well as refreshments for group meetings. Groups should commit to meeting regularly at least 4 times throughout the semester. 

Proposals for the spring 2024 semester will be due October 23rd.
