Wisconsin Idea: Go Big Read Turns Three
Go Big Read, UW–Madison’s common-reading initiative, has thousands of people reading, talking, and sharing their thoughts and opinions. This program — now in its third year — engages members of the campus community in a vibrant, academically driven experience.
This year’s book choice is Radioactive: A Tale of Love and Fallout by Lauren Redniss. This highly visual book depicts the Curies’ discovery of radioactive power and captures the complexity of the intersections between science, history, and biography. You and your student — along with faculty, staff, and community members — are encouraged to participate by reading Radioactive and taking part in classroom discussions and campus events.
Redniss will discuss the book during a public presentation on October 15 at Varsity Hall in Union South. For more information about the program, visit www.gobigread.wisc.edu.
