Prerequsites:

There are no specific prerequisites other than a willingness to learn and engage with others throughout this educational experience. No specific background is needed; in fact, we anticipate everyone's unique backgrounds, perspectives, and feelings will enrich the experience for all involved. The general expectation is that participants will read each book before the deadline, generate thoughts and questions about each book and/or film, and engage with their peers in lively discussions and Q&As.
