IDE Diversity Book Club Fall Term Pick! “The New Jim Crow”

 

We’ll be kicking off our 2015-2016 IDE Diversity Book Club with Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness. In hopes of working with more people’s schedules, we’ll host two discussion groups the week of November 9th — an after-work convo on Wed 11/11 at 5:30 PM and a lunchtime discussion group on Friday 11/13 at 12 noon. No need to sign-up for a particular one now, but feel free to mark your calendars.

We have 4 IDE copies of the book to loan out — please contact Kara Wakefield if you’d like to borrow one. Additionally, the Howe Library in Hanover has one copy (as of today at 4 PM!) available and an e-copy. It also looks like the Lebanon library has an e-copy that is available for download.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks again for your interest. Really excited to get to know you all and have some great conversations!

Looking forward, we’re planning on doing our second book/discussion group in mid-December when things slow down a bit on campus. 🙂
