Research Guides: Racial Justice Resource Guide: INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO THE TUC RACIAL JUSTICE RESOURCE GUIDE

This guide, developed by the TUC librarians for the TUC community, contains materials and resources addressing systemic racism and inequalities in the criminal justice system, medicine, and education with solutions towards racial justice and equity.

The guide is divided into sections for the TUC curriculums, fields of study, as well as a section on literature and film. This guide will be continually improved as we obtain and identify more relevant resources and hope it will aid in reflection, discussion, and personal growth.

We welcome and encourage your suggestions and comments on this guide. Please email us at: tuc.library@tu.edu.

Thank you for taking your time to consult any of these resources.
