Anti-Racism Reads is a way for the U蓝莓视频 community to increase their education, awareness, and understanding of race, culture and ethnicity across campus, Canada and beyond.听
Growing out of the PART Book Club, Anti-Racism Reads now has a permanent home with the Library and Print + Retail Solutions so our community can continue to engage with the complexities of several relevant and important subjects, such as white fragility, anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism in Canada, the Indian Act, and the equity myth, through reading, discussion and sharing lived experiences.听
Meeting virtually on a bi-monthly basis, each session of Anti-Racism Reads will feature a discussion facilitated by a member of the community or the University of 蓝莓视频 campus, initiated by a particular book.听
