In the summer of 2021, CCCOER's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee launched a well received book club to explore the connections between open education and equity. In the summer of 2022, the committee led a second book club focused on Equity and Inclusion in Higher Education: Strategies for Teaching. The book club organizers wanted the book club sessions themselves - the meeting facilitation, the resources provided - to be equitable, diverse, and inclusive.
In Year 2, the committee remixed the book club structure by creating guidelines for the facilitators in response to comments from Year 1 participants. In Year 2 we created a facilitation guidebook to make the project more sustainable and to improve recruiting and training facilitators going forward.
This presentation will be an engaging discussion of the planning, implementation, and outcomes of the book club.
By attending this session, attendees will be able to:- Lead a virtual book club focused on equity, diversity, and/or inclusion even if you're not an expert on the subject
- Establish and enforce norms for book group conversations about EDI with diverse participants
- Create an inclusive space for discussions that contribute to the advancement of equity, diversity, and inclusion in higher education
