MACUHO Common Read 2009

The common read selection for this year’s MACUHO Conference is My Body Politic. This story by Simi Linton, takes readers on the road she traveled as she learns what it means to be a disabled person in America.  Through reading, reflection and discussion we hope Housing and Resident Life professionals can relate Linton’s story to their experiences supporting students within the higher education system and reflect on their own practice.

We are looking forward to engaging in meaningful dialog about Linton’s journey at The Annual MACUHO Conference in Atlantic City in October.  Whether you are attending the conference or not, My Body Politic is a great read that will leave you thinking!

You can preview the first two chapters of the book at http://books.google.com/books?id=XgBt9i11x0MC&printsec=frontcover#PPP1,M1 to see if you are interested in putting it on your summer reading list.
