A Life Of Their Own

An all-day symposium celebrating the long lives of books in the hearts and minds of readers.

Through presentations, discussions, and conviviality, we'll come together to share about the books that have guided, shaped, or haunted us, bringing our personal and collective responses from the margins to the center.

We'll investigate beyond-the-book formats like zines, open-access texts, and fan nonfiction, and have clear-eyed and optimistic conversations about books in 2026.

And we'll eat dinner, together.
