The NMC Global Literature Reading Group meets twice a year to discuss a book about life in another culture. The group aims to bring together NMC faculty and staff from all departments and disciplines to stimulate critical thinking, literary pleasure, awareness of global diversity and cultural interconnections. These books and discussions help support NMC’s Strategic Direction that NMC learners are prepared for success in a global society and economy.
All faculty and staff are welcome to join.
