We hope that these resources will help you reflect on and process the current moment, but also, help shape your practices as anti-racist teachers. Of course, this list is not exhaustive, as there are so many dynamics, so many theories, so many histories to grasp in order to do our work of understanding anti-racism and pursing our role as anti-racist educators. We hope it will, though, provide a place for you to start or some new directions to go. Please feel free to reach out to your faculty as you digest and process some of these pieces. As you find useful resources, also please continue to share and learn together.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Re: #BlackLivesMatter\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blacklivesmatter.com\/\">Black Lives

Whose story is being told? By whom? Through what lenses? How are arguments upholding or pushing against the status quo? For what reason and how? Does this resource center Black voices and perspectives? Does this resource value marginalized positions necessary in social justice movement?<\/p>\n<p>Also, continue to engage and broaden your own understandings. Keep a log of your developing questions. Consider how and where you\u2019ll continue to seek information to pursue learning about these questions. Develop groups of critical friends to help push you forward in your understandings and critiques. Make sure to honor and respect (and compensate in one way or another) the emotional and intellectual labor of any Black person or Person of Color who contributes to your continual understandings. Understand that discomfort is part of anti-racist work and continue to push forward. Students of Color, and particularly Black students, take care of yourselves and your communities.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank Drs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stmarys-ca.edu\/node\/193150\">Alicia Rusoja<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stmarys-ca.edu\/node\/153821\">Manisha Anantharaman<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stmarys-ca.edu\/node\/143471\">Monica Fitzgerald<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stmarys-ca.edu\/node\/153091\">Suzanne Schmidt<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stmarys-ca.edu\/node\/154101\">Tamara Spencer<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stmarys-ca.edu\/node\/155121\">Michael Joseph Viola<\/a> of St. Mary\u2019s College of California for inspiring this list, providing the basis for the list, and collaborating to gather additional resources.<\/p>\n<p>With love and power,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/education.uconn.edu\/person\/grace-player\/\">Grace Player<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/education.uconn.edu\/person\/danielle-filipiak\/\">Danielle Filipiak<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are reaching out to share resources that we believe might be helpful as you reflect on the current and ongoing racism in our country.
