About This Guide
This guide on Equity Diversity and Inclusion in Education highlights many academic sources available at BU, and will always be a work in progress. You may want to begin by studying some background information first, such as the Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education (BU Libraries eBook), but note when and how to use background material.
Diversity & Inclusion at Boston University:
"In a community as big as ours, there are numerous ways to be an effective ally and advocate.
First step: get involved! Participate!"
Your comments and questions are always welcome. Please feel free to recommend print and online additions.
