[close] Hello, and welcome! RAMP--the "Rehumanizing America" Project--is simply an effort to discover why we are increasingly divided in this country and what we as individuals can do about it. The Library for RAMP, then, will not belong to any one discipline, but will reach across a range of disciplines that explore why we are who we are (as humans, as Americans, etc.) and what we can do to overcome our hidden biases, tribal defensiveness, and dehumanizing tendencies. Feel free to add books to the bookshelf, and please consider adding your reflective notes about the book, your thoughts as to how it relates to this group, a simple note of, "Looks interesting!" for those discovered but not yet read, etc. Feel free to also list in the comments sections any other resources (videos, articles, organizations, etc.) that speak to these issues. Thanks so much for being a part of this community! I can't wait to see what we will uncover! :) Best, Heather

[close] Welcome. This is a reading group for anyone interested in teaching writing. I've set a regular reading schedule that focuses on one book for 2 months. Extra time has been given to encourage close reading and discussion. Participation is encouraged, but not required. Jump in as it fits your interests and schedule. Please suggest books to add to our reading list. Discussions should remain informal. Start new discussion threads as you wish. Be kind to one another. This group is public. Invite other folks.

[close] This group is for public intellectuals only. Any "students" or "professors" may not join. We are here to shape society in our vision, not learn. We are soldiers in the pursuit of glory and glory alone.
