In this episode, I drop some rapid fire ideas and then talk more in depth about how I would run place-based book clubs that look across Black experiences in rural and urban places. The clubs would serve to offer students an opportunity to explore and think with one another about the similarities and differences of experience because of how place shapes those. It also provides space for students to think about the essentializing that happens in the creation of the urban/rural binary and how that shapes folks’ interactions with one another.
