DESCRIPTION:\nJoin the CDI's monthly book club presented by Cross-Cultural Connections. This month we will be celebrating Native and Indigenous Heritage Month by reading Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger. Please contact pendley@wustl.edu to receive a copy!\n\n\n\nAbout Elatsoe: Imagine an America very similar to our own. It's got homework\, best friends\, and pistachio ice cream.\n\n\n\nThere are some differences. This America has been shaped dramatically by the magic\, monsters\, knowledge\, and legends of its peoples\, those Indigenous and those not. Some of these forces are charmingly everyday\, like the ability to make an orb of light appear or travel across the world through rings of fungi. But other forces are less charming and should never see the light of day.\n\n\n\nElatsoe lives in this slightly stranger America. She can raise the ghosts of dead animals\, a skill passed down through generations of her Lipan Apache family. Her beloved cousin has just been murdered in a town that wants no prying eyes. But she is going to do more than pry. The picture-perfect facade of Willowbee masks gruesome secrets\, and she will rely on her wits\, skills\, and friends to tear off the mask and protect her family.\n\n\n\nConnection to NACE Competencies:\n\n\n\nSample Behaviors\n\n\n\n\nCritical Thinking #2\n\n\n\nTeamwork #1\n\n\n\nCommunication #1\n\n\n\nCareer & Self-Development #8\n\n\n\nProfessionalism #3\n\n\n\n\nProgram Goals: The Center for Diversity and Inclusion’s book club\, sponsored by Cross-Cultural Connections\, highlights books by a diverse array of authors. Open to students and staff\, in November\, we will be celebrating Native and Indigenous History Month by reading Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger. Our goal is for students to use book club as a way to understand the importance of and demonstrate verbal\, written\, and non-verbal/body language abilities. Our book club leaders also provide information from a diverse set of sources and individuals about the author\, culture\, and themes represented. In our book club discussion\, students will build on their communication skills and listen carefully to others\, taking time to understand and ask questions.\n
