Myra here.
I am very privileged to have been invited to serve as Guest Curator/Editor for the whole month of March for Global Literature in Libraries Initiative (GLLI). I am deeply indebted to my stellar book tribe who made this month’s guest curation so dynamic, exciting, and filled with so many possibilities.
I did mention in my introductory post that the curation that my team and I are doing for #UAEReads would be reflective of the diverse demographic population that the UAE has – with literature coming from the major nationalities comprising the entire country: Emiratis, Pakistanis, Indians, Filipinos, Egyptians – and other nationalities (which also make up 38.55% of the country’s population as can be seen in the image below).
Thus #UAEReads would comprise of #EmiratiLit, #PakistaniLit, #IndianLit, #EgyptianLit, #PhilippineLit among others.
My Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Plus team has started to provide us a sneak preview of our upcoming SDG book list which we hope to publish here, hopefully, by end of the year. In today’s #UAEReads post, they shared eleven picturebooks that fit into SDGs 1-10.
