Hopkins Online Book Club

Welcome to the new Hopkins Online Book Club.

This new program connects alumni through participation in a virtual book group and online discussion on JHU inCircle.

Hosted by a different faculty each month, the Book Club begins with a taped conversation available online (as well as a transcribed version) with that month's faculty presenter. The conversation continues with the online discussion for the duration of that month.
