About Our Book Clubs
The Leadership Institute will offer book clubs throughout the year. They will be virtual and supported by centers and Leadership Institute partners. The aim of the Leadership Institute Book Clubs is to create multicultural, intergenerational spaces where participants can delve further into texts, while learning alongside people from a multitude of social locations.
Format
This specific book club will be reading Living Resistance, by Kaitlin Curtice. Curtice is a popular indigenous author who challenges the tokenizing of "resistance" and reclaims it as a basic human calling. It is a book that calls for independence and considering how resistance is a daily activity.
We would like to recommend these two sites from which to order the book:
