Below is a list of resources to help diversify, decolonize, incorporate allyship into our syllabi and teaching practices.
These links are simply a compilation of the work of others, listed here for members to access more easily. We acknowledge and are grateful for the substantial work done by those, often BIPOC scholars, who have created and compiled these resources.
We welcome suggestions and recommendations for further links and readings to include. Please send your recommendations to outreach.cupe3912@gmail.com.
