Anti-Racist Reading List & Social Justice Education Resources

 

Promoting awareness, education, and a deeper understanding of cultural differences is an essential deliverable of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  We have compiled this list of notable resources to help our campus community undertake the complex and necessary process of examining our concepts of self and others, recognizing discrimination and racism, learning how to be anti-racist, and striving toward social justice. This is not a comprehensive list but rather a start.  The resources shared here will be continuously updated.  Inclusion on this list is not an endorsement of the author's viewpoint.
