The Chief Inclusion Office recently launched a weekly resources announcement to the Clarkson Community. The resources are meant to help people explore diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging [DEIB] for themselves, in their communities, and in our institution. They may be resources that help you re-examine society and do some introspective reflection, explain core concepts like intersectionality or anti-racism, or practical guides for action, such as how to review a syllabus for equity-minded practice.
The resources are linked in the announcement and saved to a common google folder for all to reference, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a0DXWcmwl4a5zM5lMsBZR_7uk8_OZhIY?usp=sharing.
If you would like to share thoughts on resources, please contact Diversity@Clarkson.edu. We will also be using some of these resources as the basis of workshops and professional development throughout the year.
This week we offer resources on the Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States to help understand the work of John Lewis and CT Vivian.
Documentary Resources:
