IGHS & DEB Social Justice Book Club

Our Intentions

  • Become more comfortable talking about racism—get familiar with the language and learn more US history
  • Reflect critically and deeply about our behavior, thoughts, experiences and complicity
  • Generate ideas about how to change ourselves and society and become better allies

The book club is currently on pause.
