The Collective: A BIPOC ThinkIR Initiative aims to uplift BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) faculty and staff at the University of Louisville by highlighting their research and providing open-access to BIPOC-produced scholarship through our institutional repository. By featuring a BIPOC scholars research collection in our institutional repository, we hope to encourage scholars of all disciplines to intentionally seek out the research and scholarship of their colleagues of color.

We welcome participation from all historically underrepresented groups. To learn more about the project and be added to the collection, please visit: ThinkIR: BIPOC Scholars.
