Book Club
Book Club
For the first iteration of this book club, we will be reading some key texts within the labor, liberation, and resistance movements as well as community organizing.
This has been coordinated along with the NCSU Campus Workers Union for their Labor Reading Group, but is open to any community members wishing to learn more about the roots, theory, and practice of this work.
We will be meeting the last Tuesday of every month!

Critical thought, conversing with peers and colleagues, building community, sharing ideas… are just some of the amazing things humans are capable and that allow us to cultivate culture together. For this book club, we’ll be tackling some challenging texts, but we will be doing it TOGETHER!
