Readers Circle

June Book Selection

This is the highly anticipated 16th book in the Armand Gamache detective series in which his family and friends are people of interest in this case. While in Paris awaiting the birth of his grandchild, the story kicks into high gear after a family dinner when his rich, industrialist god-father is mowed down by a passing van. It is made clear to Armand that this is no accident. Armand’s rush to discover the multiple layers of truth is heightened knowing his entire family is in extreme danger.

Please join us to discuss this summer page turner. And FYI, you can read this book without reading the 15 others!!!

LUNCHTIME ACTIVITES

EMBODIED RECKONINGS: COMFORT WOMEN, PERFORMANCE, AND TRANSPACIFIC REDRESS WITH AUTHOR DR. ELIZABETH SON

Please join us either in-person or via Zoom on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 12 noon, as we welcome Dr. Elizabeth Son to discuss her award-winning book Embodied Reckonings: Comfort Women, Performance, and Transpacific Redress.

Embodied Reckonings examines the political and cultural aspects of contemporary performances (protests, tribunals, theatre, and memorial building) in South Korea, Japan, and the United States that have grappled with the history of Japanese military sexual slavery. Her research in general explores the relationship between histories of gender-based violence and transnational Asian/Asian American performance-based art and activism.

Dr. Son is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre and Director of the Interdisciplinary PhD in Theatre and Drama at Northwestern University. She also holds courtesy appointments in the Asian American Studies Program, Program in American Studies, and the Department of Performance Studies.
