Reading Groups

Continuing DePauw's tradition of asking the "big" questions through small, faculty-led reading groups.

Each semester, The Prindle Institute sponsors between 4 and 6 reading groups on various topics related to ethics. The reading groups are composed of faculty, staff and students who meet several times throughout the semester to delve into the important questions of our time. Books and refreshments are provided by The Institute.

If you are interested in joining one of the Fall ‘12 reading groups or creating a reading group for Spring ’13, please contact Martha Rainbolt (mrainbolt@depauw.edu).
