In this episode we chat with Clare O’Hanlon and Anne Rowlands, two librarians with a passion for queering the archive. We have a fascinating chat about what being a librarian is all about and how classification systems can harm trans and gender diverse people. Finally, we get an extensive recommendations list from them both for our listeners to pour over in these times of social isolation.
