Interesting Stuff Book Club

As part of the Office of Residence Life programming initiative with Faculty-in-Residence, Karen Jacobs and Greg McDaniel, we invite you to participate in a five week virtual Interesting Stuff Book Club that will meet weekly. Our book will be Talking to Stranger: What We Should Know about the People We Don’t Know by Malcolm Gladwell. “Malcolm Gladwell is the host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 NYT Bestseller Outliers, provides a powerful examination of our interactions with people we don’t know. Gladwell argues that because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.” The structure of the Interesting Stuff Book Club will look like this and take place over Zoom: October 5th starts: Reading period Monday, October 19th from 8:30-9:30pm: Zoom discussion of part 1 Monday, October 26th from 8:30-9:30pm: Zoom discussion of part 2 Monday, November 2nd from 8:30-9:30pm: Zoom discussion of part 3 Monday, November 9th from 8:30-9:30pm: Zoom discussion of part 4 Monday, November 16th from 8:30-9:30pm: Zoom discussion of part 5 Join Zoom Meeting https://bostonu.zoom.us/j/7859316589?pwd=T1lxZm9xb1Z0ZWFnTU91NFp4NTlBUT09 Meeting ID: 785 931 6589 Passcode: books One tap mobile +16468769923,,7859316589# US We have 26 copies of Malcolm’s book which we’ll be able to distribute to those interested in participating in the book club.
