3. Book Club

For our inaugural Book Club, we invited colleagues to  "Calling In," by Loretta J. Ross, with us.

Prof. Ross is a noteworthy activist, teacher, and public intellectual. Among other topics, she offers trainings and lectures on Reproductive Justice, Human Rights, Violence Against Women, and - the topic of our Book Club - Calling In the Calling Out Culture.

"Calling In practices are so important. It's imperative to ensure that we don't grind each other up and harm each other out of our despair and drama. Calling In is a tool and practice for turning difficult conversations into productive ones. This framework can help address harm while creating space for growth, forgiveness, and understanding."

(quoted from https://lorettajross.com/callingin-online)
