We aim to illustrate queer and racialized identity perspectives in the LIS field with conversations as a method for scholarly inquiry, developed from a forthcoming two-book series on queer identity in libraries and archives for which the presenters are co-editors. Conversation allows us to capture moments of discovery, frustration, joy, and spontaneity, freeing us from traditional and often confining academic standards; queer concepts of non-normativity unveil new considerations. The poster in three parts, will describe, 1: the methodology of the book project, 2: identity in libraries, and 3: practice in archives. Each section may include notable quotes from authors who outline in their conversations, ways in which queerness has informed their library or archival practice. Questions and interrogations may include: What role does race and queerness play in our work? What is the importance of counternarrative or storytelling in the archive in the formation of queer of color identities? How do we honor separate spaces and inclusivity? How do queer library workers engage with allies and vice versa? Quotes will venture into the somatic, enter the spiritual realm, supply introspection, consider queer taxonomies, identify erasure, critique the power of naming, and investigate classification systems. As co-editors, we aim to highlight intersectional queer contexts into tangible library and archival praxis with conversation being our methodological framework.
