Antiracism Further Learning Resources Directory

Use this resource to find further learning resources for ongoing antiracism learning and practice. If you haven’t yet taken Eager’s course: Working Towards Antiracist Education: A Framework for Educators, it is a great place to start as it provides a comprehensive breakdown of key concepts as well as their practical application in an education setting, and a framework for ongoing antiracist practice, learning, and teaching.

 

This is NOT a paid partnership. At Eager, we create directories for further learning because we believe in the importance of ongoing learning around social justice issues, whether they come from us or elsewhere. None of the resources provided below have paid to be listed here.



(This is only the beginning! If you see something missing from this list and would like to recommend additions, please get in touch and let us know!)
