Book Discussion
The Help, By Kathryn Stockett
February 7, 5:00-7:00 pm, 1965 Room
Lisa Tetzloff, facilitator
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women— mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times, and sometimes lines are made to be crossed. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t. Participating students will receive a complimentary copy of the book. Space is limited. Register online. Sponsored by the Office of Student Life.

Murder in the Name of Honor, by Rana Husseini
March 27, 5-7:00 pm, 1965 Room

Rana Husseini's hard hitting, unflinching, and controversial examination of honor crimes is a fearless, groundbreaking account of a topic that can no longer be ignored. Claiming 5,000 lives annually, and common in both traditional societies and migrant communities in the USA, honor killings involve a punishment - often death or disfigurement - inflicted by a relative to restore the family's honor. The book includes personal stories of many recent high profile cases. Participating students will receive a complimentary copy of the book. Space is limited. Register online. Sponsored by the Office of Student Life. For more information on Rana Husseini, go to: http://www.ranahusseini.com/
