Are you interested in reading more about race in America and engaging with others in our community with similar interests? The GW SMHS Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the Anti-Racism Coalition (ARC), and the Center for Faculty Excellence are continuing their Anti-Racism Book Club this spring. The book selection for Spring 2022 is Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? By Beverly Daniel Tatum.
This book explores how the experience of African Americans is still very different from that of whites, and provides a framework for understanding how the dynamics of dominant groups and non-dominant groups manifest themselves around the issue of race. An electronic copy of this book is accessible for free through Himmelfarb Library.
The first of this three session discussion will take place on Tuesday, February 22nd at 12:00pm and Wednesday, February 23rd at 5:00pm (eastern standard time). Sessions are offered at Noon and 5pm for every session in order to accommodate a variety of schedules. Register for the sessions that fit within your schedule. All sessions will be held virtually via Zoom. For more information about these events, contact Jalina Booker at JTBooker@gwu.edu.
