We're excited to announce a new book display and virtual exhibit in the Health Sciences Library! This month we are celebrating the #CiteBlackWomen movement in the sciences with an in-person display (where you can check out any of the books) and our virtual guide that offers more in-depth suggestions for online content.
A common refrain when discussing the need to diversify and make our professions more inclusive is that people don't know about the work of Black women scholars. Even worse is that this issue is far from new and has been discussed by Black women experts and revolutionaries in countless forums. The work of our Black colleagues has been ignored and written off with false claims of bias. We know that obviously there are countless Black women writing in the sciences and we need to break out of this cycle of systemic oppression by highlighting and amplifying their voices through proper citations. This is just a sampling of some of the incredible work that Black women have done in the sciences and health sciences. Take a look and explore the #CiteBlackWomen resources!
