    It's time to get your summer read on! PAAH is excited to host a two-part series of Princeton reading events. Pick up one or both of these books to read during the summer, and then we will see you in the fall to discuss. First, in September, we will have an in-person book club to discuss the 2025 Princeton Pre-ReadOn the Fringe.

    About On the FringePresident Eisgruber’s Princeton Pre-read selection for the Class of 2029 is On the Fringe: When Science Meets Pseudoscience by Professor Michael D. Gordin, the Dean of the College.

    Professor Gordon’s book explores the philosophical and historical attempts to address the problem of deciding what is pseudoscience, and what is not. It argues that by understanding doctrines that are often seen as antithetical to science, we can learn a great deal about how science operated in the past and does today. This exploration raises several questions: How does a doctrine become demonized as pseudoscientific? Who has the authority to make these pronouncements? How is the status of science shaped by political or cultural contexts? How does pseudoscience differ from scientific fraud? On the way to answering these questions, Dean Gordin guides readers along a bewildering array of marginalized doctrines, looking at parapsychology (ESP), Lysenkoism, scientific racism, and alchemy, among others, to better understand the struggle to define what science is and is not, and how the controversies have shifted over the centuries. On the Fringe provides a historical tour through many of these fringe fields in order to provide tools to think deeply about scientific controversies both in the past and in our present.

    Back by popular demand, Houston Lawn Parties will be taking place at Rice University's Valhalla again! Last year's event was a raging success. I even got a CostCo card out of it.

    Join us for mimosas, breakfast tacos, Kid Cudi, Cornhole, and much more.

    What: Princeton Lawn Parties... In Houston.

    Where: Rice University's on-campus pub, Valhalla

    Parking:  My recommendation between parking and imbibing - Uber/Lyft

    Attire: Connecticut Casual

    We hope that you will be joining us for this auspicious event. There can be 100 people in the room and 99 will give a reason not to go rage on a Saturday morning, but this person believes you can (and quite frankly, should) do it.

    Location:  Valhalla @ Rice University - 6100 Main St, Houston, TX 77005

      Please join us for a Book Talk where we will host a virtual book club event with Princeton author, Sash Bischoff '09, to discuss her first book, Sweet Fury.

      About Sweet FuryFrom the very first page, Sweet Fury takes the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald, famously of Princeton’s Class of 1917, and begins to play. A famous actress and film director, characters named Lila and Kurt, are collaborating on a feminist adaptation of Tender is The Night. Then into the mix strides a psychotherapist named Jonah, a character readers will recognize as awfully similar to one Jay Gatsby. The story unfolds in some surprisingly dark directions, including one disturbing scene set at a Princeton eating club...
