Recommended Reads for Equity is a collection of equity-, diversity-, and inclusion-focused books curated by members of the University of Washington community. The collection grows based on book recommendations that create an evolving representation of our community’s collective and individual experiences. Our work in organization, outreach, and accessibility revitalized focus on the project and re-engaged the UW community. We re-designed the webpage, formalized protocols, promoted and expanded the collection, and created a repository of community booktalks. Ultimately, this collection builds connections between community members by bridging themes of equity, diversity, and inclusion in books through sharing meaningful personal experiences.
