Research Assistant 2022 - To Change We Must Reflect : A Look into ECU's Past and Present in Hope of a Better Future

This project was the result of a ‘Beyond Black History Month’ research assistant posting by the ECU Library + Archives in 2021, where we wanted to work with students to critique, highlight, and promote the resources in the library through the lens of anti-racism and institutional critique. In this position, student researcher Liliana Martinez Castro proposed a focus on the institution’s colonial and racist history paralleled with student activism and highlighting our students of colour, in addition to spotlighting the Black creators that have graduated Emily Carr.
