The Big Read 2021-22

Cover of How to Save Our Planet by Professor Mark Maslin, published by PenguinHello! 

A very warm welcome to The Big Read! This project was developed in 2019 with hopes of bringing staff and students together by providing a common ground on which to build meaningful connections and friendships. For a number of years, we picked a book every year that we thought our Hallam community would enjoy reading and talking about.

The Big Read book for 2021-22 was How to Save Our Planet: The Facts by Professor Mark Maslin, an important book for anyone who wants to learn more about the climate emergency and what action we can take. Written for everybody, we hoped it would get people talking about climate change and sharing ideas for action. 

We ran events and activities connected with the book and its themes throughout the academic year.
