2023 Summer Inclusive Excellence Reading List

As is the ODI tradition, this 2023 list is curated in the spirit of our ongoing efforts to affirm, ally for solidarity, and act in the pursuit of racial equity and justice and make SU a thriving place for all. This consequential year revealed the depth of the gulf of understandings of our shared history and the present manifestations.

Thanks to our robust and dynamic partnership with Lemieux Library, we are pleased to offer direct access to the 2023 Summer Reading List books through this link, generously compiled by Lemieux Library team. 

Caveat: Reading alone is insufficient to realize our shared vision for an inclusive and equitable university. Yet, without widening perspectives progress remains elusive. Please continue to share your ideas of resources from research and enlightening reads over summer and beyond to inclusion@seattleu.edu.
