Current International Reading Groups
How do I join a reading group?
Platypus reading groups are held in universities around the world. Though these are frequently connected to chapters on college campuses, association with a university or membership in the organization is not required for participation.
Additional information about reading groups in a particular city can be found on its respective chapter page. Many chapters also run regular supplementary activities such as Coffee Breaks; please see the respective chapter page for more information.
If you are interested in attending a group but do not see one listed in your area, please contact us at platypus-inquiries@googlegroups.com and we will respond as soon as possible.
