Below I have put together various resources I've discovered over the past couple of weeks in light of the recent Black Lives Matter protests. I wouldn't know about much of this or be able to compile this list without the tireless work of the black community. I made this post for myself as much as anyone else to compile a lot of the information I’ve seen so that I can refer back to it - not to take away from those people who have put the work in over the past couple of weeks (and many, many years) putting this stuff out there in the first place.

The title of this post is a little misleading because this is not really going to be a ‘how to’ so much as a few observations I made whilst writing mine. I have already (purposefully) lost much of the experience to the mists of memory and time, but I hope that some of you writing undergraduate dissertations this year might find a little comfort in it. I’m not going to write too much about the content of it because for some strange reason I still feel strangely protective over it and I don’t know if I’m ready to open it up to the world (how ridiculous am I), plus I think it’s so specific it wouldn’t be wholly useful to dwell on it too long.
