Welcome to Gale's Gender & Diversity Content Hub. This hub is an extension of our committment to supporting academic institutions at every level by providing eBooks, databases and primary sources that enable a greater understanding of gender and diversity issues. We are delighted to make these thought-provoking collections available to students, scholars, faculty, and the libraries that serve them.

On this page we will be continually updating a wide-range of content to help you get the most out of the Gale resources your institution currently uses and inform you of other resources that can help accomplish your institutions instructional objectives. Below you will find links to informative webinars, research examples from primary source collections, title lists, sample searches from databases, contextual essays, excerpts from eBooks and more.

We hope you will find value in the content as you browse through! Something you would like to see added to this page? Let us know.
