Literary Agenda

The Literary Agenda has for eight years given SSE students the opportunity to participate in book circles and author’s 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 SSE pop up-library) and are provided free breakfast/fika during the book circle discussions. 

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

The literary agenda is open to the SSE community only, and more than 2 000 students, PhDs, faculty and staff have been part of the Literary Agenda so far!

 

Sign up to the Literary Agenda 2025/2026!

 

 

The initiative is financed by the Hamrin Foundation.
