🪶New in Murmurations: K.R. Roberto's “Operationalizing Bias.” In this piece, the author describes "the problems in classification that I was personally experiencing" during an LIS PhD program, "namely, the ways in which my transness inexplicably led to medical issues and confused classmates."

🪶New in Murmurations: “What Is Trans Information Work in Trying Times?” by Travis L. Wagner. This conceptual article explores the material, affective, and communal labor that attends the creation and circulation of trans information, both inside and beyond information institutions.
