Ethnicity

[close] Welcome to Here to Learn Book Club: Education on Race in America, where we choose a book every two months on the topic of race in the USA. This group serves as an educational supplement and discussion forum to aid in the quest for personal understanding of race issues, with the ultimate goal that this understanding leads to increased empathy and eventually to widespread racial justice. We read a wide variety of books from an array of authors: those with liberal and conservative perspectives, those of various racial backgrounds, those currently writing and those from the past, those with prominence and those relatively unknown, those from within and outside of the United States, and those from varying areas of expertise, be it science, activism, politics, art, academia, law, or simply life experience. We believe true understanding can only be achieved by considering all of these viewpoints. The aim of this group is to act as a resource for any person looking to learn more about racial issues and to encourage individuals to take charge of their own learning and actions.

[close] The purpose of this group is to discuss books addressing diversity in higher education.

[close] What is intersectional feminism? Intersectional feminism centres on the voices of those experiencing overlapping forms of oppression such as ethnicity, sexuality, gender, class and more. What is this group about? Our club is a welcoming space that focuses on reading books authored by individuals from marginalised backgrounds. Our discussions delve into the complex intersections of race, gender, class and sexuality. We explore the works of feminist fighters such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks , Nasal El Saadawi and more! Suggestions are welcome. Join us as we journey through thought-provoking narratives, challenging societal norms and advocating for a more inclusive world where we discover more books of inspiring intersectional feminist authors!
