The UNC-CH Center for European Studies is committed to countering racism and violence at home, in Europe, and across the world. As an educational organization, we manifest our commitment by broadening the visibility of resources to learn about the history of structural racism and anti-Black violence, settler colonialism, colonial legacies, anti-immigrant policies. These topics include the intersections of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and gender. To this end, we are compiling a list of resources on these topics.

This unique moment presents an opportunity to interrogate our profession’s relationship to White supremacy and racial justice in order to reimagine an anti-racist future.
