SPACE

A new SPACE civics exercise where community members publicly read a curated selection of news items, articles, nonfiction passages, & more

READS THE NEWS is a new SPACE civics exercise where distinguished community members share and read selected news items, articles, nonfiction passages, reviews, or other material before a live audience, with musical accompaniment.This episode of READS THE NEWS features longtime University of Southern Maine English professor Rayne Carroll, with musical accompaniment by Carey/Harrity/Tindall.SPACE's Reads the News program positions the humanities as essential tools for collective meaning-making in a moment of widespread information overload, political volatility, and reading burnout. At a time when the news is both difficult to engage with and impossible to ignore, this program shifts the practice of media consumption from the private to the public, allowing for critical reading, historical context and reflection.Reading lists will be shared and sourced at the event.
