Comparative Conversations: Past and Present Shelves
May 22 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us for an informal conversation about books. No preparation is required—just bring a memory of a past favorite and/or a note on a present one. Maybe that includes a classic you read at Princeton for your Senior Thesis or a best-seller that you couldn’t put down this year. Maybe it’s a book that you hated or that changed you. There are no wrong answers! We will start with one COM faculty member and one COM alum briefly commenting on their past and/or present favorites and then will open the conversation up.

The views expressed during Reunions are those of the individual presenters only. With respect to Princeton’s free expression values, members of the Princeton University community and visitors have broad freedom to express themselves in a manner consistent with the University’s policies. At the same time, University policies prohibit conduct that, among other things, disrupts University operations and activities. To be clear, any individuals who disrupt a Princeton event are in violation of University policy, subject to disciplinary action, and will be asked to leave the premises immediately. If they do not leave immediately, they will be considered a Defiant Trespasser under New Jersey criminal law and subject to arrest.
