IC Book Club Program

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.” - Jhumpa Lahiri

The Intercultural Center is launching a Book Club for the Swarthmore College Community. Each book that we will read throughout the program will highlight various cultures to enrich the understanding of other cultures and perspectives through readings, discussions, and shared communal experiences. Our partnership for 2026- 2027 Academic Year will be the Gender & Sexuality Center and the Student Disability Services.
