DESCRIPTION:\nJoin the CDI's monthly book club presented by Cross-Cultural Connections. This month we will be reading Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. Please contact pendley@wustl.edu to receive a copy!\n\n\n\nAbout Care Work: In this collection of essays\, Lambda Literary Award-winning writer and longtime activist and performance artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha explores the politics and realities of disability justice\, a movement that centers the lives and leadership of sick and disabled queer\, trans\, Black\, and brown people\, with knowledge and gifts for all.\n\n\n\nCare Work is a mapping of access as radical love\, a celebration of the work that sick and disabled queer/people of color are doing to find each other and to build power and community\, and a tool kit for everyone who wants to build radically resilient\, sustainable communities of liberation where no one is left behind. Powerful and passionate\, Care Work is a crucial and necessary call to arms.\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 December\, we will be reading Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. 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
