Join the Friends of PUL and Christie Henry, Director of Princeton University Press, on Wednesday, January 31 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 coevolved 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.

Christie Henry is Director of Princeton University Press, and has nearly 30 years experience in university press publishing.

Current Friends of PUL members are invited to attend in person. Registration is required.

The presentation will also be available by Zoom for non-members.

Please select the appropriate registration type below. Due to limited capacity, membership status will be checked after registration.

Diversity and Non-discrimination 

Equal Opportunity and Non-discrimination at Princeton University: Princeton University believes that commitment to equal opportunity for all is favorable to the free and open exchange of ideas, and the University seeks to reach out as widely as possible in order to attract the most qualified individuals as students, faculty, and staff. In applying this policy, the University is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of personal beliefs or characteristics such as political views, religion, national origin, ancestry, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy and related conditions, age, marital or domestic partnership status, veteran status, disability and/or other characteristics protected by applicable law in any phase of its education or employment programs or activities. In addition, pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and supporting regulations, Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education programs or activities that it operates; this extends to admission and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX and its supporting regulations may be directed to the University’s Sexual Misconduct/Title IX Coordinator or to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education. See Princeton’s full Equal Opportunity Policy and Nondiscrimination Statement.
