Book Launch Celebration: Dr. Asit Sarkar’s “Building Roots, Building Home Away from Home” In-Person
Join the University of Saskatchewan community in celebrating the launch of a compelling new book by Dr. Asit Sarkar, Professor Emeritus and former leader within the Edwards School of Business. Building Roots, Building Home Away from Home explores the evolving meaning of “home” through the lens of immigration, cultural identity, and personal transformation.
Structured in three parts, the book traces Dr. Sarkar’s journey from his birthplace and heritage, through formative years in the United States, to finding belonging in the Canadian Prairies. His reflections offer a powerful narrative on how place, people, and values shape our sense of home.
This event is supported by the University of Saskatchewan Retirees Association (USRA) and USask Library and will include a reception with light refreshments, a brief formal program, and an opportunity to meet Dr. Sarkar for book signing and purchase.
Open to all. No USask email required. Please use any email format when registering.
