The Diversity and Inclusion (DIO) Office at UMass Chan Medical School is hosting a Diversity Campus Read featuring Medical Apartheid by Harriet A. Washington and The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee.

The campus community is encouraged to participate through departmental discussions of the books. Through this active engagement with the text in a group setting, participants will have the opportunity to learn from diverse perspectives of other readers, and to elaborate and expand on the information presented in each book. Discussion guides, recommendations for further reading and additional resources will be made available through the Lamar Soutter Library.
