The Common Book Planning Committee would like to invite your participation in this year’s Health Sciences Common Book activities, based on Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. The Common Book Program and UW Health Sciences serves as a platform for students and others from across health professions to learn together on topics of common importance. Throughout the schools, students and others have the opportunity to participate in a series of engaging discussions, advocacy efforts, and other activities focused on major topics of the book.
We’ve set up three Fall Quarter sessions focusing on themes in the book:
***10/18 session: This will be an outdoor activity and we encourage folks outside the Seattle area, reading Sweetgrass, to get out on their own experience related to interconnectedness and health – we’re happy to share ideas/resources
