Grabbing Tea: Queer Conversations



Grabbing Tea: Queer Conversations on Identity and Libraries (Volume One)

Grabbing Tea: Queer Conversations on Identity and Libraries (Volume One) centers queerness in library practice and theory across academic and public libraries. Conversations from library staff and users focus on identity, community practice and outreach, visibility and coming out or being outed in the library. These conversations between LGBTQ+ library staff (and others) integrate interpersonal experiences of professionalism as queer folks in the field, as well as dive into their relationships and points of connections with each other and the communities they serve.


Grabbing Tea: Queer Conversations on Archives and Practice (Volume Two)

Grabbing Tea: Queer Conversations on Archives and Practice (Volume Two) centers queerness in archives and archival theory and practice. Scholars and practitioners share their conversations on the Archive as a site for reclamation, narrative storytelling, ancestral recalling, and historical revisioning within LGBTQ+ communities. These conversations integrate interpersonal experiences of professionalism, dive into our collections, and engage with the implications of race and sexuality in archival practice. Authors invite readers to join their conversations that consider the fluidity of our bodies as queer bodies, and our lives as queer lives inside of the archive.
