If anybody wants to read and discuss books on inclusion, diversity, and similar topics, please let me know. This is a topic that I am interested in, and a topic that I want to learn more about. My main interest is on the angle/aspect of diversity in organizations (such as corporations, non-profits, etc.), rather than broadly society-wide issues (although I suspect they cannot be fully disentangled).
I have a list of books I intend to read on DEI topics (I’ve also listed them at the bottom of this quick take in case anybody can’t access my shared Notion page), but I think I would gain more from the books if I am able to discuss the contents with other people and bounce around ideas. I think that I tend to agree too readily with what I read, and having other people would help me be a more critical consumer of this information. Most of these books are readily available through public libraries (and services like Libby/Overdrive) in the USA or through online book shops.
I’m not planning on formally starting another book club (although I’m open to the possibility if there are a handful of people that express interest), but I would really enjoy having a call/chat once every several weeks. I’m not expecting this to evolve into some sort of a working group or a diversity council, but I’d be open that possibility in time.
