Nominate a book for the 25-26 Common Read!
Open Call for 25-26 Common Read Nominations
|
Colorado College seeks proposals for our 2025-26 Common Read, a tradition that has provided our campus community with shared intellectual experiences since 1970. In addition, the Common Read frames the shared inquiry of our new first-year course, CC Elevate. As such, we seek texts that combine our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion with critical reflection on higher education, intellectual development, and belonging in academic spaces.
Ideal texts will:
|
- Engage with questions of identity, power, and justice while explicitly connecting these themes to educational experiences and intellectual growth
- Model critical thinking and scholarly inquiry in accessible ways that help students reflect on their own academic journey
- Explore how diverse perspectives and lived experiences shape approaches to learning and knowledge creation
- Be appropriate for first-year students while maintaining sufficient complexity for advanced academic discussion
