In conjunction with author Michael Sandel's virtual visit to Miami University on September 7, the Humanities Center is organizing faculty and staff small-group discussions around his latest book, The Tyranny of Merit; Can We Find the Common Good? Both Sandel's visit and the book club coincide with the 2022-23 Altman Program "Contesting Authority".

The Humanities Center will provide a free copy of The Tyranny of Merit to the first 150 faculty and staff members who express an interest in participating in this book club, which will meet at 4:30 p.m. on September 1, almost a week prior to Sandel's talk. Participants will be divided into small groups of five or six at the event itself.

Participation is open to all interested faculty and staff members at the university. If you wish to receive a free copy of the book, please complete this form.

If you already own the book and simply wish to participate in this discussion without receiving a free copy, you are of course more than welcome (and no RSVP is needed at this time).
