Social Justice Book Club

The Social Justice Book Club provides a space for Buffalo State University community members to have meaningful conversations about challenging topics.

We invite you to join us in Fall 2025 as we read Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072, by M.E. O'Brien and Eman Abdelhadi. Watch this brief 7.5-minute interview with Abdelhadi.

We will meet in person, generally every other Thursday from 12:20 to 1:20 pm (note the new start time!) in Butler 318. Meeting dates are September 4 and 18, October 2 and 23, and November 6 and 20. 

At each meeting, we will discuss a couple chapters. See below for the reading schedule.

Thanks to generous funding from the Muriel A. Howard Honors Program and Student Leadership and Engagement, print copies of the book will be provided to student participants, while supplies last. 

The book club is open to faculty, staff, students, and alumni of Buffalo State University.

Fill out this form to join the book club. (Note: past participants of the book club should still fill out the form! Thanks!)

This program was made possible with the support of E. H. Butler Library, Equity and Campus Diversity, Student Leadership and Engagement, the Muriel A. Howard Honors Program, the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies interdisciplinary minor, the Grant Allocation Committee, the Anne Frank Project, and Haymarket Books.

The Social Justice Book Club logo was designed by John Gardner.
