So You Want to Talk about Race (FBG)
Faculty Book Group | Fall 2020 | Meeting 4
More Details
Dear MTSU faculty,
You are invited to join a group of colleagues who will be reading and discussing the book So You Want to Talk about Race, by Ijeoma Oluo.
The publisher’s website describes the book as follows:
“In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to ‘model minorities’ in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.”
This book group will be facilitated by Leah Lyons and will meet four times via Zoom:
November 2, 9, 16, and 23
11:30-12:25
Zoom meetings
Participation is limited; if you are interested in joining the group, please register as soon as possible.

If you're unable to attend a scheduled workshop, we typically record them and make them available via our YouTube channel.
Workshop registration and attendance information for inclusion in your tenure and promotion materials can be accessed directly via the university's workshop registration system.
If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
