PPE Reading Group Proposals – Fall 2023

If you are interested in running a PPE Reading Group next term, please use this form to make a proposal. We intend to run four reading groups: two “PPE Classics” (eg: Democracy in America, The Wealth of Nations, Discourse on Inequality) and two contemporary books on PPE topics, at least one of which should incorporate perspectives from the social sciences.

Please indicate in the “Comments” field the level of familiarity you have with your proposed text, why it is particularly suitable for a PPE Reading Group, and any other relevant information.

The priority deadline for reading group proposals is June 16, 2023.

The reading groups should meet for eight weeks over the course of the semester, ending early enough that they won’t conflict with the press of the end of the semester. The PPE Program provides copies of the books to all participants, in-person dinners, and a modest honorarium for those who lead the group.

Information about the Reading Groups we have held in the past is available HERE.

Thank you for your interest!
