There are many resources, here at the University and elsewhere, for those who are interested in diversity-related issues.  Below is a listing of some that are online, in print and in other formats; some have been compiled specifically for this theme semester.

• Prof. Elizabeth Anderson (Philosophy) compiled an annotated bibliography on race, gender, and affirmative action for instructional reference.

• Diversity@UM is the creation of Margaret L. Steneck & Nicholas H. Steneck, with assistance from students in History 397 this semester.  Diversity@UM is one outcome of more than a decade teaching an undergraduate survey course on the History of the University of Michigan (History 265).  This on-line database is an effort to make the story of diversity at the University of Michigan--the story of the steps taken toward becoming an inclusive community--more accessible. It is a work in progress.

• The Film and Video Library has developed a searchable special feature, titled Videos on the Theme of Diversity available through its site on the web.  This  mediagraphy for its collection makes it possible to search by year, language, audience level, format, etc.

• Center for Research on Learning and Teaching has an Annotated Bibliography on Multicultural Teaching and Learning.

• Leveraging the Arts for New Understandings of Diversity provides mini-grants for residents of University Housing to promote discussion of diversity through group attendance at arts events.  This is the joint project of the Arts Coordinator and University Housing.  Contact Mary Craig, the Arts Coordinator, at mfcraig@umich.edu or 764-5123 and Pam Reister in Housing at peister@umich.edu or 647-3054.

• Diversity Online:  Digital Perspectives from the University of Michigan Community is part of CHICO—the Cultural Heritage Initiative for Community Outreach.  This web site initiative builds on current projects ongoing at CHICO that provide technological training and outreach.  Diversity Online will use photography, art and narratives to document and provide access to the multitude of perspectives on diversity and cultural heritage we find in our campus community.  In addition, the project will provide focused technological training sessions that will enable selected student groups to document online their own activity related to the theme semester’s goals.  Contact Sam Cronk at leftfld@umich.edu.

• Housing staff will receive diversity game kits in the second week of February, for use in educational programming in their residence halls.  Contact Julian Vasquez Heilig at jheilig@umich.edu.

• Dialogues on Diversity is compiling an archive of videotapes, available on loan, on a variety of programs, e.g. Bowen Talks About "The Shape of the River," and Dialogues on Race with President Clinton.

• Prof. Sylvia Hurtado (Education) is a contributor to The Dynamics of Race in Higher Education:  An Examination of the Evidence, sponsored by the American Educational Research Association.  The executive summary is on the web through Stanford's Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity.

• The theme semester course guide is available through this site.
