October 08, 2020

In this final episode of our For the Love of Reading podcast, host Christine French Cully talks with Dr. Christine Herring on how parents can use books to open conversations with their kids about social justice. Dr. Herring is a leading expert in the field of Race, Equity & Inclusion training in the Pittsburgh area. Dr. Herring and her husband, Dr. Charles Herring, are the founders of Herring Seminars where they work with organizations and school communities to develop ways of understanding complex relations between self and systems with regard to race, class, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability/disability, and other lived cultural experiences. To help parents, Dr. Herring has graciously compiled this booklist of books with social justice themes. You can contact Dr. Herring at herringseminars@gmail.com
