A little bit about the hosts:

The Dr. Chun Resource Library exists as a space for community members and University of Toronto students to access factual, citical and alternative materials that facilitates resistance to oppression among and between diverse communities.

The library is committed to supporting marginal voices. In particular, those voices that have been traditionally left out of main stream political mobilizing are emphasized in our collection.

The library is supported by The Centre for Women and Trans People and the Ontario Public Interest Research Group Toronto (OPIRG-Toronto). The visions and interests of both organizations have been incoporated into the mission and collection policy of Dr. Chun Resource Library. These include a commitment to social, environmental, economic, human rights and anti-oppression issues.
