Deadline by quarter: Sept 29 (Fall 2023), Dec 8 (Winter 2024), March 15 (Spring 2024) or June 14 (Summer 2024).
 

Stay engaged with colleagues this quarter through Academic Book Clubs. Invite a group of 4 or more colleagues and select a book – it’s that easy!
 

Book Club awards cover the purchase of books for groups of faculty and/or graduate students who agree to meet in-person or online to discuss the book at least 4 times over the coming quarter. Though we ask that at least half the participants be CHASS faculty and/or graduate students, other participants may be from other UCR departments, UC campuses, local institutions or community organizations.
 

Club leaders convene meetings via Zoom or on the UCR campus. All required campus COVID-19 protocols, including wellness checks, vaccinations and masking, must be followed for in-person gatherings.
 

Book groups should select titles that have the potential to engage multiple perspectives, disciplines and methods in critical inquiry. Inclusive, cross-disciplinary groups are encouraged. At the end of the quarter, group members will be asked to respond to a short survey on their experiences.
