    Publications by UAlberta’s Black Academic Excellence Cohort

    by Erin Sanderman February 16, 2023
    written by Erin Sanderman

    February is Black History Month, where we take the time to learn and reflect upon the history and experiences of those who make up the African Diaspora. It also gives us the opportunity to celebrate the work being done by Black People to enhance our understanding of the world and who are making a difference both locally and internationally.

    There are several distinguished Black scholars here at the University of Alberta whose research output has included works that have enriched their chosen fields of study. As a starting point to help orient everyone to the work UAlberta’s Black Scholars have produced, we have created a reading list of publications by members of the recently announced Black academic excellence cohort.

    by Elisabet Ingibergsson February 7, 2023

    February is Black History Month and we are celebrating the work and lives of Black artists.  Throughout history, the creative contributions of Black artists and countless ethnic groups have been obscured and often overlooked by the art world.

Black art gives voice to those previously silenced celebrating the beauty and triumph of Black culture.…

In addition to musical scores, the library subscribes to many streaming databases and has an extensive collection of CDs and LP vinyl that you can request and put on hold with your OneCard. As it is Black History Month, I sat down with Lucinda Johnston, our…
