by CLIC @ JDHL on 2022-09-07T11:31:00-05:00 | 0 Comments

This fall, we're excited to offer many in-house opportunities for instructional & professional development. We hope to see you soon!

Book Club

  • Book: Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell
  • Facilitator: Natasha Schumacher of the CLIC Team
  • Meetings:
    • Online via Zoom on Thursday evenings, 5-6pm
    • 10/6, 10/20, 11/3, 11/17, 12/1

RSVP to clic@uwsuper.edu before 4pm on Thursday, September 22. There are eight spots available to receive a complimentary copy of the book. You can read the e-book via the Jim Dan Hill Library.

Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish”, revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere.

NEW! Writing Accountability Group

Let’s face it: writing is hard. It’s hard to get started, hard to keep going, and hard not to bump the writing time we set aside in our schedules for other needs. However, you are not alone!

This monthly drop-in group will give you motivation, support, and –ahem—accountability on your writing goals. No RSVP needed and anyone at any point in the writing process is welcome. The only rule: make progress!

The Writing Accountability Group will meet via Zoom every other Tuesday, 4:00-5:15pm, through November.
