The Humanities Matter team believes in making the humanities fun. In the spirit of academic play, we are issuing ourselves and our community a challenge – to read James Joyce’s Ulysses in the time it takes us to drive from Ontario to British Columbia this summer.
If our Kickstarter reaches 50% funding by midnight EST tonight, our team promises to start and finish this challenging text during our trip. But that’s not all, we will be live-streaming, live-tweeting, and podcasting our daily experiences with Ulysses along the way.
We’re encouraging everyone who has ever been interested in tackling this legendary book to join us in this week-long whirlwind book club. If you want to join us on this adventure, please tell a friend, colleague, or stranger about our Kickstarter and tweet at our @HumBusTour account a message with the hashtags #humanities and #UlyssesChallenge.
We believe in the humanities and we believe that together we can make the Humanities Matter Tour and Webseries a reality.
