[recomposingUNC] next semester

[Katie Akin]

Hello, rUNC!

I like the idea of weekly readings, and covering a book or two over the
semester. I would also like to plan more "happy hour" or "family" style
RecomposingUNC meetings. As for the readings, I think it is a great idea to
start with the Edu-factory book that Yousuf proposed. The fact that those
chapters are available in pdf format already will make it easier for people
to jump in and participate.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the break!

Sending the best wishes to you and your loved ones--

Katie
