A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:
UCSB has chosen a sustainability-related theme several times for its UCSB Reads program. The UCSB Reads program is a common reading experience for the UCSB and Santa Barbara-Goleta communities that serves to encourage reading and to generate discussion amongst the communities about environmental issues and globalization.
Some examples of the Reads themes related to sustainability:
The 2007 UCSB Reads theme was Global Warming, Science, and Society. The chosen book was “Field Notes from a Catastrophe” by Elizabeth Kolbert. More information about the 2007 UCSB Reads program is available at http://ucsbreads.library.ucsb.edu/archive/2007/index.html
In 2008, the UCSB Reads theme was "Globalization and Global Citizenship." The book of the year was “Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy” by Pietra Rivoli. More information about the 2008 UCSB Reads program is available at http://ucsbreads.library.ucsb.edu/archive/2008/index.html
