Abstract	This booklet provides an introduction to the study circle, which features informal, face-to-face, sustained small-group discussion of social and political issues. Section 2 discusses how study circles integrate life and learning. Section 3 focuses on the significance of the study circle idea--bringing citizens back to political life. Study circle origins are described in Section 4. Section 5 lists essential characteristics of study circles. Section 6 considers who might be interested in study circles. In section 7, the content and process of the study circle are addressed. These elements of the process are discussed: organizer, leader, participants, continuity of sessions, and reading material. Section 8 makes suggestions for starting a study circle in an organization or community. An appendix lists resources available from the Study Circles Resource Center. (YLB)
