The University Book Shop has created monthly discussions by Otago University staff about current books.  The first two have been announced and both look very engaging.

First up is Law Professor Mark Henaghan, on Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari, which is about the future of humanity.  Mark will be speaking on Tuesday, 16 May at 7 pm.

Doors open at 6.30pm for refreshments, mingling or book browsing.
Spaces are limited to about 30, so register now.  It is not necessary to read the book featured. You are still welcome to come and listen and chat about the topic.
