Learning, Resources & Community Knowledge
Living Library
The Living Library is a curated collection of educational resources, articles, tools, readings, videos, and community knowledge supporting ongoing learning around decolonization, Indigenization, equity, inclusion, reconciliation, and respectful engagement within geography and academia.
Developed by the CAG’s Standing Committee on Decolonizing and Indigenizing the Professional Association, this evolving resource is intended to support collective learning, reflection, teaching, research, and professional practice. The library will continue to grow over time as new resources and perspectives are added.
