Nominate a book

What should I consider when nominating?

All you need to submit is the title of a great book and the name of its author to bookclub@artsandscience.usask.ca. You might also wish to write a few sentences about why the book is topical and worth reading by people across the full scope of our unique college.

College of Arts and Science students, alumni, faculty and staff can make nominations.

A few other things to keep in mind:

• The book’s author must be living.
• Fiction and non-fiction books can both be nominated.
• The author can live anywhere in the world and does not have to be connected to the University of Saskatchewan.

About the Arts & Science Book Club

The Arts and Science Book Club brings together the entire College of Arts and Science in the study of a chosen book, culminating in a visit by the author. The college encourages students, staff and faculty to read the book in anticipation of the author's visit, and asks faculty to incorporate the book into their courses wherever possible.

Book Club selections are chosen by a committee from the submitted nominations. The author’s visit will be scheduled for a date in the 2018/19 academic year.
