In some ways, this is the easiest part of social justice education: making a list of must-sees and must-reads. This space features a co-curated list of books, podcasts, academic articles, grey literature, films, and clips related to social justice that members can pull from to determine their content engagement goals. This space aims to support accountability and collaboration, and it is editable so that members can add, review, and sort content.
