This book club will meet approximately bi-weekly throughout the semester, and will consist of staff, students, and faculty to collectively ask: what function does education play in a healthy democracy? How has the United States’ history of race relations informed its institutions–both governing and educational ones? And perhaps most critically, what do we hold as hopes for the future of education and how can we shape that future? It is my hope that collective reading (with refreshments!) will serve as a springboard for building camaraderie and facilitating critical intergenerational community conversation across campus.
