Not happy with the recent incidents of hate on our campus? Make sure to check out This Is OUR House: Diversity Appreciation Week events that are scheduled for next week (29 November – 3 December). There’s some great events, like ‘Ask a Black Dude’ panel discussion on Tuesday in the UC and the ‘We Are All Purple’ forum on Wednesday in Hyland, among several others. You can also join the group on Facebook for more information.
Have the recent attacks got you thinking about doing a little research? Since we’re the place to go for that sort of thing, we’ve got you covered. Search the catalog for titles like Hate Crimes Law or Policing Hatred. If it’s articles that you’re after, Ethnic NewsWatch (ProQuest), GenderWatch (ProQuest) and LGBT Life with Full Text (EBSCO) would be great places to start for finding information on hate crimes based on race, ethnicity, gender and/or sexual orientation. And of course, you can always ask a librarian for help in locating material.
I think it’s great that the library is getting involved in helping make folks aware of the need for inclusiveness in the UWW community!
