Inclusive and Antiracist Writing

Resource added

Full description

Julia is thrilled to be able to share materials through many collaborations with colleagues in SFU Library. These materials have been created through sustained collective work, including with the Library’s Decolonizing the Library Working Group (particularly with Ashley Edwards, Alix Shield, Dal Sohal, and Jenna Walsh) and teams of Writing and Learning Peers and Graduate Writing Facilitators in the Student Learning Commons over several years. These materials have also benefitted significantly through insights shared by members of the wider SFU community including student leaders involved with the Disability and Neurodiversity Alliance (DNA) and staff members working for Out On Campus, the Indigenous Student Centre, Women’s Centre, Health and Counselling, and the Centre for Accessible Learning.

The resources Julia has shared represent a combination of materials intended for the following audiences:

  • SFU students, staff, and faculty (and made available as open access resources on the internet)
  • SFU students as part of course-integrated writing workshops (requested by SFU faculty members for their classes)
  • SFU Library employees as part of ongoing learning and Professional Development initiatives

Julia hopes that others will be able to make use of these materials as sources of inspiration and springboards to develop content that is more meaningful and relevant to others' own contexts. Julia is grateful to the Writing and Power project for making it possible to share these resources to support the ongoing work and learning of the Writing Centre community in Canada and globally. It is especially useful to be able to share grey literature and internally-facing resources, since these are often not accessible beyond an individual institution.
