UNC and Duke will read together
Tar Heels and Blue Devils are teaming up for this summer’s reading assignment for incoming students. Both UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke have selected the book “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer.
New students are asked to read the book before arriving, then they will participate in small group discussions. Foer himself will speak at both campuses on Aug. 25.
The book tells the story of Foer’s back-and-forth struggle with vegetarianism, which came to a head when he became a father. Realizing that he would be responsible for deciding what another person would eat, Foer began an in-depth investigation into the food industry. The book delves into the industrialization of agriculture and the methods used in food production.
