Imagination: a Manifesto by Ruha Benjamin (ReadingWell Book Discussion)

ReadingWell, ArtWell’s community program for reading and discussion, has selected “Imagination: a Manifesto” by Ruha Benjamin to read throughout the 2024-25 school year. Ruha Benjamin, Princeton University Professor, presents imagination as a vital resource and powerful tool for collective liberation. This book is her proclamation that we have the power to use our imaginations to challenge systems of oppression and to create a world where everyone can thrive.

Ruha Benjamin is a transdisciplinary scholar, writer and educator, currently Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, Founding Director of the Ida B. Wells JUST Data Lab, and author of four books, Imagination: A Manifesto (2024), Viral Justice (2022), Race After Technology (2019), and People’s Science (2013), and editor of Captivating Technology (2019). Ruha writes, teaches, and speaks widely about the relationship between innovation and inequity, knowledge and power, race and citizenship, health and justice.

Join us for our first book discussion on Wednesday, December 4th at 7PM! The zoom link will be shared following registration.

We'll also be giving away 5 copies of the book during the discussion. Contact us here with your name and email address for a chance to win.
