Take Your Bookshelf to the Next Level

Reading is a popular hobby and topic of conversation in the DO-IT community. Over the years, staff have provided books to students such as: 

• Imposter Syndrome Decoded by Renee Citoyen; 

• Roadmap: The Get-It-Together Guide for Figuring Out What to do with Your Life by Roadtrip Nation; 

• Major in Success: Make College Easier, Fire Up Your Dreams, and Get a Great Job by Patrick Combs; and  

• The Secrets of College Success by Lynn F. Jacobs and Jeremy S. Hyman.

We have also hosted book clubs for students and faculty that highlight disabled authors, such as El Deafo by CeCe Bell, True Biz by Sara Novic, and Disabling Intelligences: Legacies of Eugenics and How We are Wrong about AI by Rua Williams. 

DO-IT staff are thrilled to share that the UW Libraries are creating a “Recommended Reads for Equity” collection that engages the UW community in critical conversations, reading, critical thinking and community building; all of which are essential to lifelong learning and engaged citizenship.  

Everyone can visit the Recommended Reads for Equity website and view the collection via the buttons on the left: Autobiographies, Biographies & Memoirs; Drama & Poetry; Fiction; Graphic Novels; Non-Fiction; Popular Non-Fiction; Young Adult Fiction. There is even a Top Hits Reading List.
