“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 Rebecca Dosch Brown

Chipungu, S. S., Hermann, J., Sambrano, S., Nistler, M., Sale, E., Springer, J. F. (2000). Prevention programming for African American youth: A review of strategies in CSAPs national cross-site evaluation of high-risk youth programs. Journal of Black Psychology, 26(4), 360-385.
The reading from Nate Whittaker :
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
In 1951 doctors at Johns Hopkins took cancerous cells from her body without her knowledge. HeLa cells have played a major role in important scientific and medical advancements, but the Lacks family has received no compensation despite the billions of dollars that HeLa cells have generated in the medical industry. Skloot’s book raises critical questions about race, ethics, and scientific discovery.
