[close] Welcome to the COESAD Book Club. The purpose of this book club is to expose COESAD members to current literature in Higher Education and other various topics that address the issues important to Employees and Staff of African Descent and friends at Ohio University.

[close] NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!! We're a group building a reliable bookshelf-database of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books that do NOT mention sexual violence or dubious sexual consent. We're inspired by Sarah Gailey's essay urging authors to "Do Better" https://www.tor.com/2016/08/22/do-better-sexual-violence-in-sff/ Join our long term project by sharing your recent reads in our monthly chat. Once a month we update the bookshelf database but recommendations are welcome everyday of the year!

[close] The WV-SWSW book group will highlight books that raise awareness, educate, empower and inspire us to fulfill the Strong Women Strong World mission, "Every woman and girl has a right to reach her full potential. Together, we will empower women and girls to live safer, healthier, more productive lives. She can. The end of poverty begins with her." Women and girls in extreme poverty face unique obstacles in every stage of their lives that hold them back from living positive and productive lives. The needs include: Access to clean water. Elimination of harmful cultural practices including female genital mutilation and forced marriage. Access to financial services.
