All of the collaborators responsible for this guide are white. We benefit from the white supremacy and suppression maintained in publishing practices and academic values outlined in this guide. There are limits and hidden biases at work that stem from our privileges and perspectives. We have attempted to bring together relevant resources highlighting perspectives from scholars who are Black, Indigenous, non-Black People of Color (BIPOC), LGBT folks, people who have disabilities, and all marginalized genders. This is not an all-encompassing list of experiences. We welcome feedback and suggestions for the guide, particularly from the perspectives and experiences of people who experience this type of oppression and members of the GMU community.
And we would like to thank and acknowledge the University of Denver University Libraries for their disclaimer that guided us. https://libguides.du.edu/antiracist
Diversity encompasses groups in many different ways. While we are unable to cover all groups, Mason has put together LibGuides to support you in researching a few diverse populations that are not always recognized or supported. These guides focus on research about and on these groups, but may not cover research by these voices. Currently, these guides only focus on the diversity of race, culture, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. As more of these guides are created at Mason, they will be added to these resources.
