Once again, Social Justice Education is having conversations that matter about the Northern Illinois University (NIU) 2021 Common Read Experience Book, Born a Crime by Trevor Noah! This 3rd season of the Huskie Conversation Café Podcast will explore the connections between Trevor Noah’s lived experiences and the lived experiences of someone attending NIU in 2021. Over the course of seven episodes, we will discuss the themes of the book with a guest and break down what the listener can do to be a better, more engaged, and inclusive member of the Huskie Community.

The Huskie Conversation Café podcast is designed, produced and hosted by Academic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ADEI) staff. Our objective is to adapt conversations around social justice-themed books and content into an online format, with opportunity for students, faculty and staff to listen and learn from guest experts, and sometimes, the authors themselves. Listeners will gain familiarity and understanding with the concepts of cultural competence, social justice, activism, and equity through this podcast. Listeners can reach out to staff at ADEI with questions or concerns.
