Resources on Antiracist Pedagogy

Below is a curated list of some resources on antiracism including antiracist pedagogy, becoming an antiracist educator, as well as broader work on systemic racism. This is certainly not meant to be an exhaustive list nor the only list of resources and learning opportunities. The TLC acknowledges and values the many people on and around our campus engaged in this work on diversity, equity, and inclusion, especially those with lived (often painful) experiences, and welcome ideas for resources that should be included. We fully expect this work to be an ongoing life-long process of continuing education. Please e-mail TLC@geneseo.edu with any suggestions for items that should be included on this list.

This work is part of a larger effort to become an antiracist campus in accordance with our Community Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the College Senate Resolution in Support of the Black Lives Matter Movement passed on June 11, 2020.
