Equity, Inclusion and Diversity

Recommended Readings and Resources

These resources are intended to help advance knowledge and understanding on issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice as well as inspire positive and equitable social change. This list is not comprehensive and will continue to grow and change in response to shifts in our society. We hope these resources will encourage reflection and dialogue, and bring us closer to achieving the Heller motto of “knowledge advancing social justice.”
