Diversity

[close] Welcome to the Mi-State Technical College DEI Book Read group. The aim of this group is to allow faculty, staff, students, and community members a chance to read and explore books and authors who exemplify the ideals of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

[close] I'm challenging myself to diversifying my reading list in 2024. When it comes to reading, I stay in my fluffy fiction comfort zone because my work reading can get very serious and depressing. But work has dried up at the moment and I've decided to seize this as an opportunity to step out of that comfort zone and expose myself to the variety of authors out there. I'm making this space to keep myself accountable and if others want to join, that's great! Diversification can look different depending on your positionality. For me, I'm seeking authors outside the white, straight, neurotypical, North American experience. This is what I have so far: January: neurodivergent author February: South Asian author March: Asian author April: LGBTQ+ author May: African author June: book about mental illness July: Transgender author August: South American author September: Disabled author October: Black or African American author November: Middle Eastern author December: Oceanic author (Photo taken from Flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/aadl/6777694048/)
