For my passion project, I will read several books recommended by CMC community members through Gould center’s 75 Books project and interview the recommenders about the books. This winter break, I will travel back to China to reunite with my family. I need to quarantine in a hotel for two weeks, which is a perfect time for me to read books.
My winter passion project will be divided into two parts. For the first part, I will read six books selected from the 75 Books Project. I’ve watched all the book interviews posted on the website and chose the following six books: Night by Elie Wiesel, Tell the wolves I’m home by Carol Rifka Brunt, A Christmas carol by Charles Dickens, Algorithms of oppression by Safiya Noble, The cultural map by Erin Meyer, and Maybe you should talk to someone by Lori Gottlieb.
For the second part of the project, I will write book reviews for the selected ones and interview the recommenders. Each of the book reviews will be approximately 400 to 600 words, in which I will share my take-aways and feelings after reading the books. Then, I will reach out to the book recommenders, members from CMC community, about the books. After interviewing them, I will convert our conversation into interview transcripts.
