Short Bibliography

Getting started bibliography that focus on indigenous, racial, and ethnic methods and methodologies. I typically hate to separate out a list like this cause it seems to make it other was if it were separate and should be considered that way. But, I’ve come to appreciate that unless there are explicit examples and resources to point for all of us to shift our methodological approaches, then we won’t ever make progress.

This list is meant to get you started in thinking to designing research and to practicing research that works against white supremacy and recognizes different types of approaches to research. It is eclectic and based on what resonated with me. I hope you find some inspiration here or to find a path toward something that does resonate with you.
