Our reading group is back, with new dates for this term! Thank you to everyone who’s been part of it so far. We read across disciplines (anthropology, law, literature, architecture and beyond) and across media, pairing texts with films. It’s a space to think alongside people whose frameworks are entirely different from your own. Students from any level and any university are welcome. You don’t need to be at Cambridge, and you don’t need to be an expert in the material. Curiosity is enough. Drop a line: ed680@cam.ac.uk mrmc2@cam.ac.uk af839@cam.ac.uk #ReadingGroup #Disappearance #EnforcedDisappearances #cambridge by @clas_cambridge
