OWHE Book Club Kick-Off Timeline!

Hello amazing book club members!

Here’s the deal! I have ZERO discipline for some things - chocolate consumption, running plans, and occasionally book club readings. So, I have created a suggested OWHE Book Club timeline for those of you who might be a bit like me and struggle to follow guidelines when grades are not being administered.

This spring, we (as a group) decided to read Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria. As spring is almost over, it’s time to dive in.

I’ve created a basic timeline for the sections of books we should be reading over the next four weeks. We can do it! I believe in us!

  • Prologue and Intro - Pages 1-79 -- Week One -- May 21-27

  • Parts I & II - Pages 83- 181 -- Week Two - May 28-June 3

  • Part III - Pages 185-232 -- Week Three - June 4-June 10

  • Parts IV & V - Pages 235-358 -- Week Four - June 11-June 17

As I read, I will challenge myself to write questions in our OWHE Book Club Facebook Group about the book once a week. If you’re reading the book, PLEASE help us kick off the conversation with a like, a comment, or a question in return.

The week after we’re to have completed reading the book, I will host the Online OWHE Book Club Chat. This lunchtime online chat will be on Wednesday, June 27th from 12-1 PM. We’ll have some questions and work through what we read and hopefully find ways to apply our learning into our work at our institutions.

Full disclosure - I’ve read parts of this book before, but I’ve never read the whole thing so I am going to have to push myself to follow the timeline. Please join me. If I know you’re reading, I’ll be held accountable and things will be so much better!

This is an experiment so I really hope you join me for the first phase of the OWHE Book Club timeline and online chat!

Cheers, my OWHE friends!
