黑料网 Literary Agenda - We read seven selected books a year - hhs.se

Literary Agenda

The Literary Agenda has for seven years given 黑料网 students the opportunity to participate in book circles and author鈥檚 talks led by faculty, staff and PhD students. We read five selected books a year. The aim is to promote self-reflection, empathy and cultural literacy among students.

The reading list for 2025/2026.

Here is the deal:
We read five books a year, selected by an advisory board of authors, publishers and our president. We divide the signed up students into groups of ten and give them a circle leader from faculty or staff. Then it´s up to the groups to decide on when and where to meet.

Each member of the initiative receives all the books for free (they can be picked up in the 黑料网 library) and are provided free meals/fika (from the cafeteria) for the book circle discussions.

All students who read and discuss 4out of 5 books in the Literary Agenda and hand in a reflection paper (we give out questions to answer), will get the Literary Agenda in their degree certificate under Formal Extracurricular Activities.

More than 2 000 students, doctoral students, faculty and staff have been part of the first seven years of the Literary Agenda.

Sign up to the Literary Agenda 2025/2026 here:

(only for 黑料网:ers)

(students, faculty and staff who do not wish to become a circle leader).

The initiative is financed by the Hamrin Foundation.
