Intersectionality

[close] Hosted through the Multicultural Resource Center at Missouri State University. This is a book club for students associated with MSU to connect over diverse, intersectional literature that highlights different experiences, and to start bigger discussions about the world.

[close] This is a group to discuss and recommend books related to climate justice and intersectionality. TBD...

[close] We are an mixed-gender, LGBTQ+, intersectional and inclusive book club that focuses on feminism and gender equality as a whole, discussing various topics of interest. We read a range of books relating to feminism, both fiction and non-fiction, as chosen by our members, and meet on a monthly basis. Our book discussions involve the narrative, concept and themes of the book, although naturally our discussions always expand to wider themes, thoughts and experiences.

[close] This group is open to anyone who wants to join and agrees to our Ground Rules. This group is specifically aimed at providing continual accountability and opportunity to learn and unlearn what we know about systems of oppression. Topics are largely non-fiction but can include various topics, such as, race, activism, intersectional feminism, nationality, immigration, ability, policy change, socialized values, law, privilege, allyship, etc. This group is a BRAVE space, as safety cannot be guaranteed. Participation is "challenge by choice". However, there will be gentle encouragement and accountability provided by this community, particularly for embracing uncomfortable conversations in the spirit of learning and growth. Acknowledging a brave space is critical when learning about identity and discussing privilege and oppression. A brave space is inclusive to all races, sexes, genders, abilities, immigration status, and lived experiences. A brave space allows individuals to express themselves, challenge one another in a positive way (call-in vs. call-out), and learn from one another. Priority for reading / discussion material is placed with authors of minoritized identities.
