This resource guide has been authored primarily by a group of White librarians and archivists at ULS, with some advisory by Black colleagues. We acknowledge our positions of privilege and the subjectivity inherent in our perspectives. We acknowledge the anti-racist work done by scholars of color at the University of Pittsburgh for years, especially those in Africana Studies, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion who have influenced our thinking. We take responsibility for activating our consciousness and leveling-up our own learning as we stand in solidarity with our students, colleagues, and community members of color. Requests, comments, and input about the LibGuide are welcome as part of this process. Thank you.
Examining your place in a racist society can be overwhelming. The chart below may help you gauge where you might be.
