This syllabus was drafted by Dr. Alisha J. Hines, a member of the #SmartBrownGirl Cohort, as part of our book club commitment to provide access across knowledge bases. Whether you’re a fresh or returning reader, whether you’re highly educated through elite institutions or self-taught, our book club is inclusive of all reading ranges. We wanted to ensure everyone has the means to fully absorb the text and participate in the reading discussions.
