Introducing AIR's Low Commitment Book+ Club
(Explore our March recommendations at the bottom of this article.)
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.
Who can I contact if I have questions?
Please reach out to Olivia Miltner, Maia Schneider, or Nancy Petersen with any questions, comments or suggestions!
Join us for the next AIR Low Commitment Book+ Club!
For March, we will be discussing Futurism – media that imagines future societies. We’re talking sci-fi, space exploration, cyberpunk, dystopia and more!
Thursday, March 27 from 12-1 p.m. in ENR2 N595. Bring your lunch! Join virtually on zoom at https://arizona.zoom.us/j/84351741234.
