More anti-racism resources
The desire for learning more about confronting racism and cultivating allyship is widespread right now, although,听for many, it is not new. To support this, we have prepared lists of resources which听are found by clicking on the links above. We urge you to visit these听sites and explore the array of resources with a view to learning and reflection. We also offer a series of equity education workshops open to all staff.
While our instinct is often to seek answers, advancing equity most often lies in asking the right questions. It is critical to take the time to reflect on these questions throughout the process of engaging with learning and action tied to equity. Learning and change require us to return to these questions iteratively so that our perspectives and understanding can shift and deepen over time. Here are some such questions with which we can engage in varied aspects of campus life at 91社区:
Teaching and Learning
- What sources do we draw on and engage with in our courses?
- Which scholars and authors are we reading for class?
- How can we facilitate the exchange of views, experiences, questions, and insights among all of us who share classroom spaces?
- How can course assignments, projects, and activities enhance learning about racism and other forms of social and systemic oppression?
- See our section on developing inclusive pedagogies
As a team, we are also asking questions, individually and together. We understand the importance of thinking critically about the need to identify, interrogate, and shift racism within ourselves, our team, and our campus.
While we know that change takes time, is non-linear, and can be very challenging, we are committed to this work. We look forward to learning and working with you.
We are always welcome to hear from members of our community. Please contact us with any questions or suggestions at: equity.provost@mcgill.ca
