In the summer and fall, OPA facilitates a reading club designed to deepen postdocs’ knowledge of topics relevant to their professional lives . Check back on this page to see updates on upcoming selections.
For each book, participants meet 8-10 times, and each participant facilitates 1-2 sessions.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:
- All participants need to read the assigned chapter(s) every week and come prepared to actively take part in the discussion.
- Each week, one of the participants will be responsible for moderating the discussion. The moderator needs to have thoroughly read the assigned chapter(s) for the week and come prepared to engage others in discussion, raise relevant questions and synthesize the main points/takeaways of the chapter.
- Each person will need to serve as moderator once or twice depending on the number of participants.
- The moderator will be responsible for taking attendance and reporting it to the OPA
