Library research guides are always an incredible source of collected resources on a topic that you are interested in or just getting to know.
With the Web, you can access library research guides not only from your local library, but from around the world! (Try using the Google Translate function on Chrome if you find a webpage that is not in a language you can read.)
The American Association of Libraries Research Instruction & Patron Services Special Interest Section recently created a webpage with links to research guides on diversity, equity, and inclusion and related topics. These research guides provide information on legal and non-legal resources on anti-racism, critical studies, protest rights, social justice, and more.
Some research guides that I found useful were:
- Diversity in the Legal Profession (Univ. of Washington Gallagher Law Library)
- Diversity Readings Related to First-Year Courses (Univ. of Washington Gallagher Law Library
- Race, Research & Policy Portal (Harvard Kennedy School)
- Remote Resources for Anti-Racism (Univ. of South Carolina Law Library)
- Social Justice Guide (Howard Univ. School of Law Library)
Please take a browse and see what interests you! It’s also great to revisit the webpage periodically because research guides continue to be added as they are developed!
As we all know, people who are fortunate enough to be trained in the law have a unique ability to contribute to social change.
