The Human Library

Event Description

Join us for Stony Brook University’s first-ever Human Library event!  Designed to challenge stereotypes and prejudice through open dialogue with real people, the Human Library gives attendees an opportunity to “check out” Open Books for 20 minute conversations. Each Book is a person with a story to tell based on their diverse background. It’s a chance for you to ask questions of someone different from yourself, whether that be by way of ethnicity, lifestyle, sexual preference,  health status, or any number of topics.

RSVP beforehand to help us estimate attendance but walk-ins also welcome.
