UCSB Reads Student Book Discussion Group

The UCSB Library is organizing student-led small group reading discussions for UCSB students to dive into the UCSB Reads 2021 book When They Call You A Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Cullors and asha bandele. You’ll have the opportunity to explore themes of race, racism, social justice and the contributions of Black Americans in a small group setting. These groups will be opportunities for social and intellectual connections with other UCSB students outside of a classroom. All students will receive a free digital copy of the book.

 

Each group will meet with the same peers and student discussion leader. A follow up email will be sent once the groups are finalized. Please email ucsbreads@library.ucsb.edu with any questions.

 

Here are some tips from Dr. Michelle Grue of the UCSB College of Creative Studies for guiding book dicussions in a productive, thoughtful, and inclusive way. For more resources on facilitating talks about difficult topics, visit guides.library.ucsb.edu/ucsbreads2021
