Getting Started

This is a page with resources for promoting anti-racism and supporting diversity and inclusion in Biology. If you're looking for information on anti-racism in general, please check out our Anti-Racism Research Subject Guide or our page on Diversity and Anti-Racism in STEM

On this guide, there are five sections, each with a selection of resources and many with a link to a larger list: Articles & Web Resources, Books, Podcasts & Media, Organizations, and Support at Northeastern. If you're not finding what you need, you can get help from your subject librarian. 

You can also find subject specific guides for the following disciplines: Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, ChemistryEngineeringEnvironmental Science, Health Informatics, Health Sciences, Marine Science, and Physics.

The resources listed here are not comprehensive, and they inevitably reflect the biases of the various creators. They are intended to provide guidance to a wide variety of resources within STEM. This page is by no means exhaustive and will be continuously updated. Please reach out to us with your feedback and suggestions.
