Decolonising the Library

Welcome

This guide aims to highlight and curate useful Library and open access resources relating to decolonising the curriculum and the Library. We intend to add further resources relevant to EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) as well. We hope to provide easy access to these in one place, and to include resources of all types: books, films, databases, digital and physical archives, art collections and websites, etc. The guide also highlights the support and services offered by the Library in these areas.

We would like the guide to be an evolving, community-led project, with input from students and staff across the University. You can contribute by suggesting topics and resources for inclusion, or by asking us to buy books, journals and other material for the Library's collections - so please do get in touch by email if you have any suggestions - libdeco@essex.ac.uk
