TEP Winter Common Reading Discussion Group: This is My America
The winter UO Common Reading is This is My America by Kim Johnson, UO’s Assistant Vice Provost for Advising. Kirkus Review writes that Johnson’s acclaimed young-adult novel “showcases one family’s persistent and courageous fight for freedom against a broken criminal justice system.... Harrowing and worthwhile [the novel is a] call-to-action from the anti-racist insights of a generation of Black activists.” This reading group will meet twice: once to reflect on and discuss Johnson’s book, once to discuss how the book can impact our course design. All interested are welcome, including those who have already discussed the book in other groups!
