Welcome to the Bishop Library Anti-Oppression Guide.
This guide is intended to provide some general information about anti-oppression, diversity, and inclusion as well as information and resources for the social justice issues.
The guide is by no means exhaustive, but rather serves as a starting place for finding information from a variety of sources. It will continue to develop in response to evolving anti-oppression issues and community needs.
Any feedback and suggestions for the guide, particularly from the perspectives and experiences of the marginalized groups listed and not listed here, is welcomed and greatly appreciated. To do so, please contact us at library@lvc.edu.
In an effort at full disclosure, it should be noted that the collaborators on this guide occupy some of the oppressed identities outlined here, but not all of them.
We have attempted to bring together quality, relevant resources for the anti-oppression issues in this guide, but we are not immune from the limits and hidden biases of our own privileges and perspectives as allies.
