Learning and teaching through authored works is a foundational component of the University of Chicago’s College’s style of education and rigorous pursuit of knowledge. Many faculty members in the College contribute through the authorship of countless impressive books, both within and beyond their academic interests.
The UChicago College Book Club is an editorial series featuring books by College faculty that are sure to be of wide interest to the community. In each book club entry, the College will share a summary of the featured book, thoughts from the author and aspects of the book that UChicago faculty, staff, students, parents, and alumni may find compelling.
