Antiracism Resources

Antiracism resources for teaching in anthropology

Antiracism calls on everyone to challenge their values and behaviors and commit to working towards the elimination of the systemic racism that exists in our society. Below, we have compiled some antiracist teaching resources, especially for anthropology faculty, graduate and undergraduate students.

In addition, here is a previous compilation of anti-racism resources, which contains a number of helpful film and media suggestions that could be used in teaching: bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES

Theresa Tarves and Becky Mattson at Penn State Law also put together an excellent set of resources for activating antiracism, reparation of Black culture & history, and examining whiteness & privilege: http://pennstatelaw.libguides.com/understandingracism
