I believe in amplifying the critical work that is being done to change our educational systems and make them more inclusive and accessible. Below is a list of resources that you may find interesting and useful in your own teaching and research. It is a living resources and is updated as new materials find their way to me.

Alternative Texts and Critical Citations for Antiracist Practices
“This is a collaborative and crowdsourced project. This list is intended to highlight BIPOC scholars, women scholars, emerging scholars, LGBTQIA+ scholars, and other scholars on the margin whose work is not often enough used in first year writing and technical communication courses. As more writing programs and departments work to develop anti-racist pedagogies and confront white supremacy and white language supremacy, one thing we can do is ensure our course reading lists are sites that privilege languaging, difference, thoughtfulness, and change. This is a yes-cite list. What texts, videos, podcasts, graphics, and so on should we be using in our courses so that our classes challenge hegemony, patriarchy, language and white supremacy?”
