The CIMS Reading Group aims to stimulate interdisciplinary discussion about the importance of cultural identity and memory in society. We will take as our starting point for the sessions some canonical texts, as well as more recent interventions, and will explore these works and their implications for cultural understanding and change.
Next reading group
20 November 2025, 3:00–4:00 pm in Younger Hall, Seminar Room 4.
We will discuss an extract from François Jullien’s There Is No Such Thing as Cultural Identity.
If you would like to participate, please send an email to Caroline May to sign up and to receive a copy of the reading in advance.
