Radical Book Club
Radical books and authors encourage readers to become aware of current societal challenges or inequalities and to contemplate alternative futures. The selected titles have inspired and encouraged movements for structural, cultural, or environmental change by highlighting and challenging conventions and norms embedded in society.
The Radical Book Club, now into its fourth year, provides an open platform for critical thinking and discussion around these themes on a monthly basis.
