Our videos
Our videos are created by local educators, experts, organizers, activists in Montreal and Concordia faculty, students and staff. They are intended to be an ever-growing repository of anti-racist and social justice centered resources.
With the aim of supporting our community in anti-oppressive change, we offer strategies to engage with our videos and their content. The goal is to provide the tools and resources to integrate these resources into your classrooms, projects, worldview and daily lives.
Our collection is intended as a sustainable repository of anti-racist and social justice centred resources.

Getting started
Before diving into our videos, we invite you to follow the steps below.
Videos
As you engage with our repository, take a moment to acknowledge that these videos were produced on the unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka nation in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.
Statement on accessibility
Accessibility is central to our work. We have equipped the first batch of videos with English subtitles, downloadable transcriptions and image descriptions. Together with Concordia’s Canadian Research Chair of Critical Disability Studies and Media Technologies, Arseli Dokumaci and the AIM Lab (Access in-the-making), we are working towards improving the accessibility of this platform and its materials. But accessibility concerns not only the presentation and dissemination of our materials; we also want to make access a statement in our platform, and provide a model of access that can be applied and expanded in your classrooms and pedagogic practices.
We are exploring avenues to increase French content, French subtitles, sign-language interpretation and more. If you experience any technical issues, or have recommendations for how we can make this platform more accessible, please do not hesitate to contact Jamilah Dei-Sharpe, project manager (antiracist.pedagogy@concordia.ca).
