What are WE reading?

“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”  Gustave Flaubert.

To better understand the lives that live within our college, we are asking CEHD staff and faculty to tell us what they are reading in the areas of equity and diversity. Below is a list of some diversity and equity readings.

The reading from Megan Gunnar:

White Like Me by Tim Wise
The social and psychological consequences of interacting or not interacting with the privilege of being White in America.

The reading from Amy Krentzman:

White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack
I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets which I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was ‘meant’ to remain oblivious.

The reading from Na’im Madyun:

Whistling Vivaldi: How stereotypes affects us and what we can do

Why do Whites underperform when told their athletic ability is being measured on a task while Blacks are unaffected by the same task and then the reverse happens on the very same task when strategic intelligence is the variable the participants are told is being measured?
