Big IDEA Book Club

GWE’s book and media club is back for a second year! We call it the The Big IDEA Book Club. (IDEA stands for = Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access). Twice per month, we discuss media to educate ourselves on topics such as anti-Blackness in academia, the history of minority racial groups and conflicts in the United States, international current events, and feminism past and present.

Each month we focus on a few media picks, such as a movie, TV show, or podcast. We also suggest further reading for enrichment, which is not required for our discussions, but meant to further understanding of the month’s topic.

Each month we focus on a different topic area. In October, the topic has been Afghanistan.

Check out the website to learn more. And join the #book-club channel on the GWE slack.
