Using Trace for Courses & Common Reads

Trace has been chosen as the First-Year Book at Washington College and as a college-wide Common Read at Keene State College.

Trace is being adopted for courses in Creative Writing, English, Environmental Studies, History, Africana Studies, American Studies, Geography, & Indigenous Studies—at Amherst College, Haverford College, Pomona College, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Syracuse University, and the University of Arizona.

I’m also pleased to say that Trace is being used by working groups, libraries, and community programs engaged in Environmental Studies, Cultural Studies, and Community Activism.  Now that the book is out in paperback this has become easier to do.
