Friends of PUL Small Talk: The Evolution of the Reader with Christie Henry

Join the Friends of PUL and Christie Henry, director of Princeton University Press, for an insightful discussion around “The Evolution of the Reader.” The book has been described as one of the smartest and most enduring human inventions. And it has co-evolved with the human capacity to read, and to write—and to publish. This talk will explore the evolution of the global reader: trends in literacy, reading, book formats and the many forces shaping the book and how we as readers can shape its future resilience.
