I like Roberto's essay writing style so much. Best adjectives I can think of are pensive and intellectual, but that doesn't really capture how haunting "Operationalizing Bias" is. "I am clearly a classification problem, and one that appears to have never been an issue before on this campus..."

🪶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."

Truly honored to be one of the first contributors to this new journal. I can’t wait to see it expand and evolve and to see what other birds get featured in promotional posts!

🪶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.
