reading group
The Science in Human Culture Program sponsors an interdisciplinary reading group that invites faculty and graduate students to meet once each quarter (usually in reading week) to discuss current or classic scholarship in the field of science studies. Current members of the group come from such disparate fields as biology, philosophy, history, communication studies, art history, anthropology, film studies, sociology, and English literature. The goal of the group is to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and exchange among Northwestern faculty and students in a congenial, informal setting.
