UC San Diego Common Read's Year of Poetry
Ada Limón, a Humanities Event Series alum, returns to campus -- the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States, 2024 Time magazine Woman of the Year, and a 2023 MacArthur fellow -- as part the annual campus Common Read. Each incoming student can access a free copy of “Against Breaking: On the Power of Poetry,” a slim and impactful book that demonstrates poetry as a powerful force for healing, a call to action, and a vibrant celebration of humanity’s many voices.

Humanities Event Series
The Humanities Program's signature series features poets, theater performances, and lectures. We invite students to engage with ancient and modern core texts in ways that encourage reflection on what gives one’s life value and meaning.
Teaching Conversations
This ongoing series of teaching conversations is held thrice quarterly for teaching assistants, faculty, and staff seeks to gather our community around the joy of teaching and living along with these core texts.
