Liason Librarian for GWST, UBC Okanagan
Background
The following guide was developed to support research in gender, race, and sexuality. The Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice is interdisciplinary and your research may require you to visit several other guides for material. For example, if you are doing research on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," you may want to visit guides on legal research to find additional resources.
If you need help in the research process, contact the subject librarian at your institution.
