In collaboration with UNC's Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, librarians Maggie Shawcross, Annie Epperson, and Darren Ilett created this research guide as a starting point for discovering UNC Libraries resources on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and antiracism topics. It is intended for research, class assignments, self-discovery, and general learning. Here you will find examples of books, videos, databases from the UNC Libraries, as well as information about accessing unique local history materials from the UNC Archives and Special Collections. All of these resources are freely available to UNC students, staff, and faculty.
The UNC Libraries offers access to a vast amount and variety of resources, too many to list within this research guide. As such, we advise searching the Library's catalog and databases to find materials relevant to your interests. The following subject headings and keywords may be useful for finding books, articles, films, and other materials.
For more information on using the catalogs, databases, and crafting search terms, please see the following guides to related UNC major areas of study:
The University of Northern Colorado occupies the lands in the territories of the Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota peoples. The University acknowledges the 48 tribes that are historically tied to the state of Colorado. Thus, the land on which UNC is situated is tied to the history and culture of our native and indigenous peoples. UNC appreciates this connection and has great respect for this land. Additionally, the University community pays its respect to Elders past, present, and future, and to those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
As part of the learning and reflection process please visit https://native-land.ca/ or call the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at 970-351-1944.
