GCC Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Library

Thanks to a dedicated group of IGC Fellows the Global Change Center is host to a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Library. Titles are available to all GCC affiliates, including faculty, staff, and IGC fellows. Books can be checked out (max 30 days, if there is a waiting list) by coming into the GCC office in Steger Hall. Members can check book availability or add themselves to the waiting list using the book availability sheet HERE.

If a GCC member needs access to Steger Hall to check out a book, please reach out to Steph McBride at stephmcbride@vt.edu. 

The goal of the GCC DEI library is to encourage GCC members to continue their DEI education by providing free access to relevant books. We also hope that we can use the knowledge we gain from these books to plan DEI initiatives and foster a more inclusive GCC community.

The library currently includes 2 copies of the following books:

• Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer 
• Equity in Science: Representation, Culture, and the Dynamics of Change in Graduate Education by Julie R. Posselt
• Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the Twenty First Century edited by Alice Wong 
• How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi 
• We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
• The Intersectional Environmentalist: How to Dismantle Systems of Oppression to Protect People + Planet by Leah Thomas
