Uncovering Underrepresented Perspectives using Gale Databases

The collections presented herein aim to educate users on the topics of racism, civil rights, and social injustice through a variety of sources.

Researching with Diverse Perspectives

This guide is intended to help you utilize your library's Gale resources to locate and examine a more diverse range of perspectives during your undergraduate research. In particular, this guide will review three categories of Gale databases  which provide a pathway for the critical analysis of various perspectives on a number of subjects: Gale Literature, Gale In Context, and Gale OneFile.

This guide also provides research examples throughout and pulls in content from each source utilizing the following sample research topic questions:

  • How does the experience of assimilation present in Asian American poetry and fiction? 
  • How has COVID-19 impacted recent increases in anti-Asian hate speech/crimes?
  • How is PTSD different in Veteran's Mental Health treatment?
  • Why does Social Media seem to disproportionately impact the mental health of young women and girls?
  • What are some of the causes of the School to Prison Pipeline?
  • Why does 21st Century Urban Planning still leads to segregation in US cities?
  • How has the queer community and/or queer individuals been historically censored in Hollywood?
