DLINQ is committed to principles of social justice and antiracism. Virtual spaces replicate and amplify the dangerous inequities and biases present in our physical spaces, from hidden algorithms that obscure and manipulate what we see and do, to exploitative data practices, to blatantly racist rhetoric, and more. DLINQ works with students, faculty, and staff to develop critical digital literacies needed to combat those threats and help foster a more diverse, inclusive, and just digital world. Through our daily work, online course design rubric, student internship program, studio spaces, scholarship, and workshops, we are striving to:

• Build and improve inclusive, sustainable design and pedagogy practices and processes that center antiracist, equitable, and humanizing approaches to teaching and learning.
• Model teaching and learning that is antiracist, inclusive, and humanizing, and in which students have the opportunity to contribute their voices, experiences, and identities.
• Design and nurture spaces, events, and opportunities, both physical and virtual, where staff, faculty, and students engage together in inquiry, research, and cultivation of topics like inclusive design and information environmentalism that help advance social justice.

DLINQ is offering this resource page as a small step toward supporting faculty and staff to help learn about, and engage in, antiracist critical design and pedagogy. As a cross-institutional group of instructional designers, digital scholars, student interns, and teaching and learning professionals, we have a responsibility to use our platform and our expertise in online learning and digital technology to promote inclusive, antiracist pedagogy. On this page we seek to highlight some of the many resources that exist to help educators adopt an antiracist approach to teaching and learning. Below you will find resources organized by topic as well as links to where to find Middlebury-specific resources at both of our campuses. This page is not intended to be an exhaustive list and we recognize that there are many more resources than we have included. If you feel there is something we’re missing that is critical to include, please drop us a line at dlinq@middlebury.edu.
