Announcing the 2009-2010 All School Reads Selection
The School of Social Work will continue its tradition of conducting a community read and discussion as part of its diversity training.
Show Story

The Middle of Everywhere: The World's Refugees Come to Our Town by Mary Pipher (2002), NY: Harcourt.
The book addresses diversity in the Heartland and covers a wide variety of cultural and religious groups who are refugees from Pakistan, Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Kakuma refugees from Kenya whose parents were killed in the Sudanese Civil War. The author introduces an interesting concept, the "cultural broker," the role she plays in bridging the gap between the refugees and the local culture in Nebraska. There are lots of stories of refugees mixed in with the author's stories about working with the refugees.

We encourage all faculty and students to read the book over the summer. The School will sponsor forums in fall semester to discuss the book. Dates to be announced in the early fall. The book will also be discussed in various classes because its content relates to different aspects of the curriculum including human behavior, practice, and policy.
