The UTM Anti-Black Racism Operational Group was assembled in 2021 as a local response to the University of Toronto’s Anti-Black Racism Task Force Recommendations. The group consists of students, staff, faculty, and librarians who offer guidance and encouragement to academic and administrative units advancing anti-racist work in their respective portfolios.

In the UTSC Campus Curriculum Review, “Black Knowledges” is understood as Africentric critical and pedagogical approaches that resist and disrupt the violent erasure of Black history through slavery and colonialism, including in academic contexts, by reframing those historical narratives and foregrounding the experiences and contribution of Black individuals and communities.
Among the collective of Black knowledges, there are stories rooted in trauma, connected to institutional oppression, and there are historical and contemporary narratives of resistance, creativity, and being. This section is intended to find a balance that acknowledges the presence, humanity, and flourishing of Blackness in a context too often rooted in the absence and problematic stereotypes.
