Welcome back to a second season of One Bear | One Book, the hit virtual book club for ALL Brown alums! Our first book conversation will be hosted by the Brown Club of Greater San Francisco and the featured book is Pulitzer Prize nominee There, There by Tommy Orange. Moderating the event will be Ashley McDonnell '12, Senior Editorial Manager at Scribd E Books and member of the Native American Brown Alumni Executive Committee. Join us in this conversation on the text itself, Native identity at Brown, the impact of the Alcatraz Occupation Protest, and more. As one reader put it, "You can take the Native out of the rez, but can you take the rez out of the Native?"
The Brown Club of DC will be hosting an in-person gathering at 7PM ahead of the 8PM virtual discussion at the home of Victoria Sams ‘90 in DC’s Kalorama neighborhood. Register for the in-person nibbles and drinks using this page (address and entry details upon confirmation), and register for the virtual portion separately here.
About One Bear | One Book
The One Bear | One Book program seeks to connect alums in a global book club where all alums are encouraged to read and discuss a selected title at the same time. The second season of books were nominated by the Brown Club of Greater San Francisco, the Brown Club of Washington DC, the Brown Club of Boston, the Brown Club of Miami and the Brown Alumni Pride Association. Each Club nominated a book that captures the zeitgeist of their region, a title they would tell a fellow alum: "you gotta read this."
