Introduction
Educating Ourselves. Taking a Stand.
The University Libraries invites faculty experts and special guests of UT to contribute readings, films, and other resources to help us stand against hate.
We asked faculty and invited campus speakers:
If you could recommend just three items for every Volunteer to read, watch, or listen to, what would they be?
Essays, data, documentaries, novels, blogs -- what do you think would help us learn about intercultural competence, equity, social justice, and how to stand against hate?
