Most Read This Week In Humanities

[close] Medical Humanism: in which the goal is not just eradicating disease but effectively communicating, empathizing and showing compassion for patients. We're a group of book readers who want to better understand the intricacies of the medical world through literature. We'll be selecting a book to read throughout the month as a group. Looking forward to some amazing discussions!

[close] Hello, and welcome! RAMP--the "Rehumanizing America" Project--is simply an effort to discover why we are increasingly divided in this country and what we as individuals can do about it. The Library for RAMP, then, will not belong to any one discipline, but will reach across a range of disciplines that explore why we are who we are (as humans, as Americans, etc.) and what we can do to overcome our hidden biases, tribal defensiveness, and dehumanizing tendencies. Feel free to add books to the bookshelf, and please consider adding your reflective notes about the book, your thoughts as to how it relates to this group, a simple note of, "Looks interesting!" for those discovered but not yet read, etc. Feel free to also list in the comments sections any other resources (videos, articles, organizations, etc.) that speak to these issues. Thanks so much for being a part of this community! I can't wait to see what we will uncover! :) Best, Heather

[close] This is our class group where we will share reviews of books we have read during this grade 8 year. It will also serve as an independent book reading task starting in trimester 3. The purpose of this task is to provide a place to share what books you loved (and what books you might not have loved) in a mature and responsible way.
