Join the Winter 2021 virtual Book Club
The provides an opportunity for faculty and staff to engage in learning and professional development by:
- Reading a book.
- Getting together with colleagues to explore new ideas.
- Networking with others.
- Discussing the content of the book.
- Creating an action plan to apply learning at work and in life.
Participants will meet online three times as a group; attendance at all three sessions is essential. Sessions focus on discussion about the contents and themes of the book, sharing thoughts about how the ideas presented in the book may be applied within the university community.
This winter’s book is by Beverly Daniel Tatum. A renowned authority on the psychology of racism, Tatum argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about enabling communication across racial and ethnic divides. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious.
Each person receives a personal copy of the book (theirs to keep), along with guided questions to consider for discussion with the larger group.
All sessions take place on Google Meet (participants will receive the link once they register), from 3 to 4 p.m. on:
- Tuesday, February 9
- Monday, March 1
- Wednesday, March 24
