Reading Group

To explore topics in the built world more deeply, join Scope of Work’s Members’ Reading Group. Each week we host a video chat to discuss a Member-chosen book, article, or paper, with additional midweek chatter on the Members’ Slack. Participants from overlapping fields bring insights to the topic at hand, making for fascinating threads and illuminating tangents. We also often have special guests (authors, industry experts, etc) join us for one session per book.
