USD Just Read!
2020-2021 Academic Year
Each year, the USD community selects a USD Just Read! book inspired by a social justice theme. The 2020-21 book of the year is Golden Gates: Fighting for Housing in America, by Conor Dougherty to support the social justice theme of the year Addressing Homelessness. The CEE organizes Just Read! programming, which is sponsored and created in concert with many collaborators across campus. Watch this video for how we are teaming up with other partners this year. Faculty are encouraged to use the book in their classes and promote Just Read! events to their students. Programming often includes book discussions, interdisciplinary panels, related films, and keynote speakers. Overall, the program promotes active learning and reading not only within the USD community but within the San Diego community at large. Check below for events, resources, contests and more!
