Reading List: Fall 2009

The Huntsman Scholars Program places great emphasis on readings, and the classes are built around strong components of discussion and individual participation. The more chance you have to read and reflect, the better. Keep in mind that although the books are listed under specific classes below, we see them as general foundational readings for everyone.

 

**These are the required textbooks that will need to be purchased.  This list  does not constitute the additional readings that will be passed out in class over the course of the semester.
