Intersectionality

[close] Group for people wanting to learn more about racism, their own blind spots and how to become better allies. Add books to the list you'd like to read in the future. We are a group of friends, open to sharing our list of books, but not looking to accept new members at this time.

[close] Want to broaden your horizons, but not sure where to start? I Am Well Read is a book club for educational nomads, those of you who choose to stray off the beaten path of linear reading. This group is for people who feel dissatisfied by the selection of documentaries on Netflix, but itch for knowledge. For those of you who want to dig into topics ranging from the inner workings of the human body to the mechanisms of the universe. Discussions will range from relevant to trivial, but the purpose is to connect unseemingly connected dots for intellectual stimulation.

[close] Inspired by Nicola Griffith's #CripLit twitter chat and the Fries test. The representation of people with disabilities in books is often limited, especially within fiction. This group aims to find and discuss works of fiction with characters with disabilities, specifically those that don't serve as plot devices and whose story arc does not revolve around a quest to cure or 'fix' them. This group is for everyone, regardless of ability. You are under no obligation to self-identify or share more than you feel comfortable with.
