Episode Topic: Lessons in Chemistry

Have you read Bonnie Garmus’s bestselling novel Lessons in Chemistry (2022)? Are there elements of the novel – say, Elizabeth Zott’s headstrong character, the “mysterious benefactor” plot line, or the book’s treatment of religion – that you’d like to learn more about? Join Notre Dame professor and assistant director of the Sheedy Family Program in Economy, Enterprise, and Society Chris Hedlin for an interactive live virtual event aimed at deepening your understanding and appreciation of the text. Chris will answer readers’ questions, share insights from students in her undergraduate course “Women’s Work” and alumni in the Notre Dame Women Connect Shared Read program.
