Incoming first-year and transfer students at Brown University will be reading My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor as part of this year’s First Readings program.
Students will write and submit a response paper, which will be reviewed by their seminar leader and potentially discussed during their first reading seminar.
This site has been created as a tool to help new students further explore the issues relevant in My Beloved World while also becoming familiar with the resources available through the Brown Library.
