These are the resources referenced throughout our workshops and listed in the "Deeper Dive" section of each module, organized alphabetically by sub-topic. We've also included other resources that may be helpful as we all continue to learn & grow together. To see the deeper dive and pre-read resources in one sheet, or to see the below resources in sheet form, click here. NOTE: Resources with an asterisk may elicit an emotional response.
We want to continuously expand our resources as we learn and grow! Please note that while we believe the resources below are helpful guidance as you explore these concepts, we don't necessarily ascribe to the viewpoints expressed in each one. Rather, we hope to provide a diversity of voices and resources.
