ARRK September 2021 Discussion with Sarah Lindley

Please join Sarah Lindley on Tuesday, September 21 from 4 – 5 p.m. for a discussion of Resmaa Menakem’s book My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. A PDF of the preface and first chapter as well as a podcast by the author can be found on the ARRK Teams Meeting Space. 

For further details, see the ARRK (AntiRacism Reading KnooK) on the Inclusive Excellence website.

The AntiRacism Reading KnooK (ARRK) is a collaboration between the K College library staff and our Inclusive Excellence (KCIE) leadership team. This initiative is NOT a book club, but seeks to facilitate campus-wide engagement with the books in the KCIE Reading for Change book collection. This collection was created to encourage learning about and facilitate greater access to antiracism information to all members of the campus community.

ARRK aims to:

1. reduce barrier to entry into reading antiracism books,
2. identify and highlight campus facilitators with experience teaching and/or disciplinary expertise who can provide context and guide discussions of specific texts,
3. foster broader relationships among faculty and staff, and thus
4. build greater capacity for an inclusive campus through sustained and focused engagement with shared texts.
5. help catalyze members of the campus to engage in small group discussions of entire books in the collection (self-organized book clubs, if you will).
