What is the UCSB Reads program?
UCSB Reads is an award-winning campus-wide and community-wide “one book” program. Each year, a committee of faculty, staff, students, and community partners select an intellectually stimulating, interdisciplinary book by a living author that appeals to a wide range of readers and can be incorporated into the UCSB curriculum. Besides being incorporated into courses, we hold multiple events related to the book including a campus lecture by the author.
