PCPA Summer Book Club

 

Where I Am FromThis summer’s reading is, Where I Am From: Student Affairs Practice from the Whole of Students’ Lives, edited by Susan E. Borrego and Kathleen Manning.

 

Students from underrepresented groups-including students of color; students with disabilities; gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students-bring their wisdom, experience, and varied cultural perspectives to college and university campuses across the US. The 42 self-biographical narratives declare what needs to be said about their experiences and the corresponding work of student affairs practice in ways that theory does not.

 

The book club is free and open to PCPA members only*.  Its purpose is to provide a way for members to stay current on literature in the field.  The book club features:

 

1. A study guide.

2. Online discussions throughout the summer

    moderated by Edinboro University professor

    Dr. Sue Norton.

3. Follow-up discussion at the PCPA Fall

    conference, moderated by Dr. Norton.

4. Discounted price on the book.
