As the academic year comes to an end, we want to end it with a last fun book club about “On A Sunbeam” by Tillie Walden.

It is a sci-fi story about love, friendship, mystery of origins, reconstructing
We’re beyond excited to announce the (unfortunately last) guest lecture of the year! Dr Ben Moore will be speaking about cities and literature and give us an insight on “invisible architecture”. No idea what that means? Join us on the 7th June at 4pm and find out!
It is April, and LLACE is back with a new book club, for which we have chosen “The Memory Police” by Yōko Ogawa. You can purchase your copy at Athenaeum Boekhandel via this link (don’t forget to use the Etcetera discount code!): https://www.athenaeum.nl/boek/… .

To honour Women’s History Month, Michelle Obama’s podcast was definitely the right choice, and discussing topics such as diversity in leadership, failure, race, to name but a few, was a great way to spend our evening. It is safe to say that podcasts are a great choice to listen to, and Michelle Obama’s down-to-earth conversation with her mentors and mentees was definitely the right pick for this book club.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our sign language workshop, we were thrilled to have you all there and learn the basics of PSE along with you. From learning the alphabet to learning greetings, questions, literature-related terms, and signs for emergencies, we were super excited and hope you were too. Big thanks to Milena for hosting such a successful evening, and for being such a great tutor.
This book club was a little different from our previous ones, as this was a collaboration with our student magazine Writer’s Block! From reading their 45th issue, to planning the book club together, to finally discussing it on Zoom, attendees also had the opportunity to talk with the editors, illustrators, and authors about what the process of writing is like, as well as exchanging ideas and thoughts on the respective
What batter way to ring in the weekend than to bake, eat, and chat? Along with discussing movies (particularly the bad ones), participants asked and provided for some very useful tips on how to cope with (online) uni life, including managing stress and workload. We loved seeing some new faces and the yummy goods people brought with them – a big thank you to all who came, and remember: keep
Judging from the chat on the side, it is clear that this movie was the right pick: following Tom Hanks as he kept chasing Leonardo DiCaprio around the globe, we were all into the movie and those who hadn’t seen it before, were both thrilled and agitated towards the end of it. If you couldn’t attend, we highly recommend this exciting and touching story, and thank you to everyone who
The year is slowly coming to an end, which means it is time for a new board for Etcetera!
