Celebrating Diversity & Decolonising the Curriculum

Our Library supports equality, diversity and inclusion across our provision, including spaces and collections. We have been working to diversify our printed and online collections for some years now but if there is something you think we are missing, please let us know by mailing library@port.ac.uk

If you need support to access what we offer, please see this section of our website.

We hope the resources listed in the sections below help you discover items for diversifying and decolonising your work, whether you are a student or lecturer.
