In a world of paywalled articles and inaccessible academia, research without institutional means is often difficult and laborious. 

In this workshop, Centre A’s Library Assistant Coco Zhou will share tips and tricks for accessing books and journals for independent scholars in the humanities and social sciences. Join us to learn about community archives, shadow libraries, open repositories, and more. Special attention will be given to reading materials related to liberation struggles in Iran and broadly, the MENA region. 

Participants will be equipped with a multitude of resources and can expect to leave with a better understanding of how independent research can also be politicized.


Accessibility: The gallery is wheelchair and walker accessible. If you have specific accessibility needs, please contact us at (604) 683-8326 or [email protected].

Centre A is situated on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. We honour, respect, and give thanks to our hosts.
