One Book, One Campus is a campus-wide effort that encourages students, staff, and faculty to read and discuss a selected book on a social justice issue. Monthly book discussions are offered each semester and participants are welcome to attend one or all of the sessions.
This year's book selection is Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Pulitzer-prize winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn call our attention to three major abuses of women worldwide: sex trafficking and forced prostitution, gender violence, and maternal mortality.
Half the Sky not only brings the oppression of women to light, but also calls us to action in the effort to fight global poverty and to empower women worldwide.
People around the world are joining the Half the Sky movement, which aims to "emancipate women and fight global poverty by unlocking women's power as economic catalysts."
Read their stories, find resources, and join the movement at www.halftheskymovement.org.
