Interprofessional Book Club: 2022-23 UCD Campus Community Book Project
We are excited to offer FREE virtual sessions for the Interprofessional Book Club to discuss Zach Norris' book, Defund Fear: Safety Without Policing, Prisons, and Punishment. Originally titled We Keep Us Safe: Building Secure, Just, and Inclusive Communities, the book calls upon many systems that play a role in the imperative for community safety, including the criminal legal system, healthcare, education, food and housing access and support for caregivers.
The following book club dates will be led by Jann Murray-Garcia, M.D., M.P.H., associate clinical professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis.
- Session 1: Friday, December 2 - What are you afraid of? (pages vii – 60)
- Session 2: Thursday, January 12 - What has the fear-based approach to public safety cost us? (pages 63-96)
- Session 3: Friday, February 10 - What are examples of what a care-based approach has secured us? (pages 99-159)
Sponsored by the School of Nursing. Reading the book is not required to participate.
