Antiracism

[close] This group is for all educators actively attempting to be anti-racists in and out of the classroom. It is for all educators attempting to decenter whiteness in classrooms. It is for all educators that value celebrating varying culture and identity! It is for the social studies teachers that teach #hardhistory. It is for the ELA teachers that value #ownvoices novels. In short, it is for all of us seeking to be better advocates, disruptors, and anti-racists.

[close] This is a group for readers to read and discuss books centering around the topic of race. It is a place for learning, asking questions, and building understanding. All are welcome to join and read with us. This group welcomes discussion but does not tolerate bullying, hate speech, or racism of any kind.

[close] Radical Reading is a new GR bookclub group dedicated to nonfiction books on various topics from a progressive, liberating, anti-racist, feminist and queer perspective. We have buddy reads and an active discussion board, where we talk about the books we read, exchange ideas or just have fun. Our goal is to engage in lively, productive and respectful conversations to expand our horizon and become an advocate/activist for positive societal change. The range of nonfiction books we read and discuss is wide, covering genres such as history, economy, art, sociology or politics.
