Wholesome humans reading group (Australasian Animal Studies Association – AASA)

This reading group was formed by members of AASA. It is strictly a non-work reading group that will meet every two months to discuss leisure reads.

The aim of the group is to encourage each other to read for fun. This online space will roughly track what we have been reading, as a hopefully fun way to see the group mature over time. Are you an AASA Member interested in joining? Get in touch!
