Need some inspiration for your next read? Join LSE’s Book Club, led by LSE faculty members who will discuss their own works or simply a book they love!
How it works
There is no expectation that you will read the book in advance of the session. The academic leading the session will provide a brief summary of the book or article and highlight key themes, before opening the session for discussion.
Take a look at the sessions taking place over the winter break and sign up to a session (or three)!
After registering, you'll receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Each session will run for an hour, with all times given in GMT.
