This resource guide focuses on finding diverse or underrepresented voices in academic research and learning.
The scholarly publication system, historically and at present, more or less privileges certain groups or individuals and excludes others, which causes the problem of lack of diversity in our knowledge legacy system. Your efforts of critically evaluating and citing diverse sources will contribute in encouraging innovation and correcting epistemic bias and inequity in knowledge production and distribution.
This guide highlights both UVic Libraries collections, internet collections and search strategies that can be used to find diverse sources for your topics. However, due to the historical and political reasons, some early sources listed here were produced and published under the colonial model. Students are encouraged to critically review these content before using it.
