Join the History Reading Group, Dec. 2

Consider joining the History Reading Group for its December meeting! The Group will be discussing Kelly Lytle Hernandez’s, Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire & Revolution in the Borderlands, on December 2, at 11 a.m. 

The History Reading Group is dedicated to reading recent works by women of color on topics related to race and slavery, especially works of history. The goal is to read the book in common and to discuss how it can inform our teaching and broaden DEI efforts at NOVA. All faculty and staff at NOVA are welcome to read the book and participate in the discussion. 

This group meets at 11 a.m. on the first Friday of each month, via Zoom, starting in October. The schedule of reading is as follows:
