Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

If you are ever looking for books you should consider supporting 
feminist bookstores, such as People Called Women 
(www.peoplecalledwomen.com), Ohio's only feminist bookstore.  There are 
few remaining and they are valuable resources in our communities.  Best 
wishes, Sarah Balser

Hi Juliette, 


I know you said you're looking for books specifically so I don't know 
how useful this will be (sorry in advance if it isn't!), but if you're 
also interested in activities and article readings to 
illustrate/practice SJ with young folks, the Southern Poverty Law 
Center puts out a journal called "Teaching Tolerance" and one of their 
more recent issues might be useful. The Spring 2011 edition covers 
topics like the human side of the immigration 
debate, combating anti-Muslim bias, improving diversity in STEM 
classes, teaching about human trafficking, unlearning the "R" word, 
media literacy, and attitude change with regards to gender dynamics and 
bullying. In the back of the issue is a list of go-to teaching tools, 
which includes preK through 12 reading selections on SJ issues (this 
might be the section that's most useful for your purposes). 


Here's the pdf if you're 
interested: http://www.tolerance.org/sites/default/files/general/Teaching
_tolerance_39.pdf


Thanks for putting this out there, always interested to see what SJ 
readings/teachings pop up on the listserves!

The American Library Association publishes a number of lists of 
recommended books for young readers, broken down into age groups and 
topics. I think the list that sounds closest to what you've described 
is The Amelia Bloomer Book List (inspired by a picture book about a 
dozen years ago called "You forgot your skirt, Amelia Bloomer!). I'll 
try to enclose a link but it's a long one so in case it does not work, 
searching for ALA and Amelia Bloomer should get you here:

Hey all -


Our Women's Center is starting a Read and Feed program with the local 
community.  This program is focused on teaching about social justice to 
children.  Part of this will include bringing children's books 
addressing or modeling social justice, i.e. female leads, different 
family systems, and a variety of cultures/ethnicities, etc.


Can anyone recommend age appropriate books dealing with these SJ 
issues, and even specifically related to bystander interventions and/or 
violence prevention?


Thanks so much!
