Are you a keen reader? Do you like talking about the books you have read? This may be the opportunity for you.

Kent students are invited to join a common reading experience this Autumn with our partner, West Virginia University (WVU), USA.

Each year, WVU engages its campus and community with a Global Campus Read to foster dialogue, critical thinking, and participation.  This year’s chosen read is ‘The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border‘ by Francisco Cantu.

This online course will encourage conversation and collaboration between students from West Virginia University and other universities around the world on the themes found in the book.  Students will have access to virtual Campus Read events, and on completion of the course, students will receive a transcript from WVU.

Students who have done this course this year have found the experience rewarding, discovering new perspectives and making new friends.  A truly global book club.

For more details and to guarantee a place on this course, please contact e.l.marku@kent.ac.uk with the subject line: ‘GLOBAL CAMPUS READ’ before 1 June 2021.
