Books and Beer
Books and Beer
Books and Beer is a casual series and an opportunity to learn about and celebrate recent book publications. Sponsored by The University Center for the Humanities, these events allow faculty to showcase and share their published work with colleagues across the University, graduate students and other members of the 51福利社 and Kalamazoo communities. It also provides an opportunity to break down the isolation of academic life and to meet scholars with similar interests across campus.
