Equity Lending Library

EQUITY LENDING LIBRARY

In 2020, GEEC helped to found the PGSS Equity & Allyship Book Club here at McGill. Each month, we read and discuss a book regarding issues of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). We highlight diverse voices and current social movements, with special emphasis on anti-racist and anti-oppressive topics and actions. GEEC is pleased to make physical copies of our reading material accessible to our fellow grad students and postdocs through our Equity Lending Library! This initiative is dedicated to our founder, Nia Fernandez. If you'd like to borrow a book, reach out to us at equity.geec@gmail.com.
