Research Guides: Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Resources: Introduction

Introduction

This guide was created in 2020 during the aftermath of the George Floyd murder and the growing protest movements around the world calling for racial justice and an end to systemic racism. It includes resources to better educate students and other university community members at Sacred Heart on race and racism in both the historical and contemporary United States. The guide includes resources on Being Anti-Racist, available Library Resources, Podcast & Media Recommendations, and Campus Resources found here at Sacred Heart University. It is our hope that these resources promote diverse views and voices that enable informed and empathetic discourse on campus and in your communities.

This is an evolving and non-exhaustive guide; please check back for future updates to content. Please contact Erin Thompson (thompsone3@sacredheart.edu) or reference@sacredheart.edu to recommend additional materials to be included.

This LibGuide takes inspiration from the work of other information professionals and educators:

Racial justice and anti-racism resources - MIT Libraries
The MIT Libraries and the MIT Press stand with Black Lives Matter and all who protest against systemic and recurring acts of violence against Black people.
Anti-racism and Black Liberation - Duke University Libraries
This guide was created in June 2020 as a response to the Duke community's call for education as a prelude to action regarding systemic racism and the struggle for Black liberation in the United States. It focuses on resources available through the Duke Libraries, and is offered as a starting point, not a comprehensive list. Duke Libraries welcome suggestions for additional resources to add to our collections.
Conducting Research Through an Anti-Racism Lens - University of Minnesota Libraries
This guide was developed in response to librarians fielding multiple requests from UMN researchers looking to incorporate anti-racism into their research practices.
