About the course
By attending a book circle you can read and discuss fictional works with other people. Together you can immerse yourselves in complex subjects, test new perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of others’ experiences. The book circle is part of the University’s systematic work environment and equal opportunities management.
You need to register as a group, and the group then chooses how many of the titles they want to read. Five are in Swedish and two are in English. There is a structure for the book circle that you can follow if you want – this will be sent out to the group once you have registered your interest.
