Global Read

Every two years, the Brookdale community selects a global issue that will guide GCP in a cycle of programming and events that spans four semesters. During the final semester of this programming cycle, as a capstone to our global theme, GCP organizes a “Global Read,” which provides our community with a common intellectual experience centered on a text that addresses the current theme. The Global Read bridges academic silos by asking students and faculty to examine textual content through their respective disciplinary lenses and come together for events and discussions. Clubs and community members are welcome to participate in all GCP-sponsored programming that accompanies the Global Read.
