Quarterly Book Club • 2024
Join us for our quarterly book club discussion and an opportunity to meet other local ins interested design and research.
For 2025, we have chosen one book to read and discuss at each quarter. Attendees are strongly encouraged to read the selected book so that they can more fully participate in our discussion, but we encourage those who didn’t finish the book to join us as well!
We'll be meeting at Johnny's Pastrami in West Adams. Books can be purchased through our local bookshop, Reparations Club, or through our Culture of Health & Tech Bookshop.org store.
