The Department of Multicultural and Diversity Affairs has put together a list of resources that were shared as a tool to help understand the complex nature of diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, and racial justice. In addition to this resource list, which can be found on our website, https://multicultural.ufl.edu/connect/diversity-education/, we have provided a list of resources that are specific to the Asian Pacific Islander Desi Community.
