Gale In Context Suite: Supporting Diversity through New Content

5 min read

Meeting the needs of diverse learners has always been a priority for Gale. We strive to improve the teaching and learning of social justice issues, offer diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and be a leader with our commitment to transparency. We continue to introduce measures to eliminate implicit racial bias in our Gale-curated content and reaffirm our ongoing commitment to quality.

More specifically, Gale’s content team partners with subject matter experts and leverages best practices to review and update hundreds of the most-used overviews across the Gale In Context suite. Recently, our content team enhanced these resources by updating terminology and offering more well-rounded critical-thinking questions. Additionally, they added new diverse, global content, including photo updates to better reflect diversity, biographies of activists, and inspiring people of color. This included building new portal pages to provide more context to students about topics such as antiracism, gender identity, and diversity in entertainment.
