“Turning Pages, Shifting Perspectives” is a reflective, community-centered book club that invites participants to explore powerful texts that challenge assumptions and broaden understanding. Together, we’ll read, discuss, and unpack stories that prompt us to question dominant narratives, shift our thinking, and grow—individually and collectively.
This book club is open to all Faculty of Education faculty, staff, and doctoral students. We will offer concurrent in-person and Zoom access for each meeting—please indicate your preference when registering, and you will receive the appropriate meeting details.
