How to be an Antiracist
4-5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 16
ARRK Meeting space (MS Teams)
Discussion Leader: Members of the Advancement Division

Members of the Advancement Division will also share their experience forming a division-wide antiracism book group.

You can read in the library’s How to be an Antiracist eBook or a PDF is available on the ARRK Meeting space.

The AntiRacism Reading KnooK (ARRK) is a collaboration between the K College library staff and our Inclusive Excellence (KCIE) leadership team. This initiative is NOT a book club, but seeks to facilitate campus-wide engagement with the books in the KCIE Reading for Change book collection. This collection was created to encourage learning about and facilitate greater access to antiracism information to all members of the campus community.

ARRK aims to:

1. reduce barrier to entry into reading antiracism books,
2. identify and highlight campus facilitators with experience teaching and/or disciplinary expertise who can provide context and guide discussions of specific texts,
3. foster broader relationships among faculty and staff, and thus
4. build greater capacity for an inclusive campus through sustained and focused engagement with shared texts.
5. help catalyze members of the campus to engage in small group discussions of entire books in the collection (self-organized book clubs, if you will).
