Book Clubs as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy

Jenny Lobb, Ohio – Alpha Eta Chapter and team members Laura Stanton and Stephen Brady

In 2021 a group of members from our college’s DEI Task Force offered a virtual, yearlong book club to college faculty and staff, including Extension professionals. At the same time, two Extension professionals replicated the book club in their suburban county. We read Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Other Conversations About Race by Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum. A post-survey was distributed to participants at the end of each book club. Survey results indicated a substantial gain in knowledge as a result of book club participation. In addition, participant feedback indicated that the book club was an ideal setting to learn about and reflect on historical and contemporary racial events and topics. This webinar will share results from the book club evaluations, lessons learned, and considerations for those interested in trying a similar approach in their state or county.
