The SRC is pleased to announce that the winner of the 2025 Arlin G. Meyer Book Award is Deep Reading: Practices to Subvert the Vices of Our Distracted, Hostile, and Consumeristic Age, co-authored by Rachel B. Griffis, Julie Ooms, and our own SRC Membership Chair, Rachel M. De Smith Roberts.
This significant work offers a timely exploration of how the discipline of deep reading serves as a necessary resistance to the fragmented and consumeristic nature of the modern age. Rachel is a scholar and a vital leader within our organization, and this achievement reflects the high caliber of academic inquiry and cultural engagement that the SRC seeks to foster.
Please join us in offering our warmest congratulations to Rachel and her colleagues on this well-deserved distinction!
