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
