Webinar: Book Clubs as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy
Jun 6, 2023 03:00 PM Eastern Time


In 2021, the Ohio State University DEI Taskforce offered a virtual Book Club to the College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences faculty and staff, including Extension staff. We read Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Other Conversations About Race by Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum. The book has 12 chapters, so we meet once a month throughout the entire year. Jenny will share our Book Club experiences at the state-level and Laura will share what happened in her suburban county where she also offered a Book Club. We will share our results, lessons learned, and answer any questions from those who may be interested in trying a similar approach in their state or county.
