Welcome
This guide is an overview of the anti-racist books and articles in the UCSF Library's collections, and is intended to support self-education for the UCSF community. This guide is by no means an exhaustive list of anti-racism resources, nor does it capture all of the many facets of the larger conversations about these issues. We hope this will inspire you to read, learn, and act.
We welcome and greatly appreciate any feedback and suggestions for the guide, particularly from the perspectives and experiences of those who identify as members of marginalized groups.

- Anti-Racism InitiativeAs an organization dedicated to improving health, UCSF must work to dismantle structural racism and the impact of bias. We must build and nurture diverse health care and science leaders, provide the highest quality of care to all of our patients, and live the full meaning of our principles of community and PRIDE Values. To achieve a community defined by these values, we have launched the UCSF Anti-Racism Initiative, partnering with leaders across campus and UCSF Health.
- Anti-Racism & Racial Healing Webinars & ResourcesThe Office of Diversity and Outreach has curated a list of resources on anti-racism and racial healing for your self-guided learning.
- REPAIR Project Resource RepositoryThe REPAIR Project is a three year strategic initiative designed to address Anti-Black Racism and augment Black, Indigenous, People of Color voices and presence in Science and Medicine and healthcare. "REPAIR" is an acronym for REParations and Anti-Institution Racism, which provides the unifying theme behind this project.
- School of Medicine Anti-Oppression Curriculum (AOC Initiative) - Resources and ToolsThe Anti-Oppression Curriculum (AOC) Initiative is committed to empowering both learners and educators to take action to advance health justice and equity. Their tools include a curricular review tool and resources for the clinical learning environment.
- Graduate Division guide to Talking about Race and Inequity in ScienceThis guide was created to help graduate students and postdoctoral scholars talk to their PIs about race and inequities in science and within their lab or research team. The guide is meant to offer concrete ideas for engaging in dialogue about race, while also acknowledging that these conversations cannot be approached monolithically, or without considering context and power dynamics.
