Everybody Reads 2027 Panel: Perspectives on Louise Erdrich’s The Mighty Red
Portland State University is proud to participate in Multnomah County Library’s annual Everybody Reads community reading initiative! Join the PSU Library and the College of Education during Community Hour for an interdisciplinary campus panel exploring Louise Erdrich’s novel, The Mighty Red.
Set against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis and the Red River Valley, the novel wrestles with climate change, deep time, community resilience, and economic upheaval. Our panel of PSU faculty and campus experts will bring their diverse disciplinary lenses to unpack the book's core themes.

Sustainability in Education: Learning and teaching for place-based resilience.
Mental Health & Community Care: Navigating survival guilt and economic stress from a therapist's perspective.
