editors

nicholae (they/them) and Jorge (he/him) are loving collaborators in an ongoing series of projects, encounters, and imaginings toward dreaming up and exploring the possibilities of liberation within, and beyond, the present. In 2020, along with Sofia Leung, and in partnership with We Here, we organized and set in motion, Community Study, an ongoing constellation of study groups, immersions, community learning spaces, and reading groups centered around BIPOC being and (be)coming together in study.  

Collectively, we've participated in two edited collections, In Our Own Voices Redux: The Faces of Librarianship Today, edited by Teresa Y. Neely and Jorge R. López-McKnight; and Knowledge Justice: Disrupting Library and Information Studies through Critical Race Theory, edited by Sofia Leung and Jorge R. López-McKnight. 

Our recent written expressions include, “Knowing (un)Knowings: Cultural Humility, the Other(s), and Theories of Change,” in Sarah R. Kostelecky, Lori Townsend, and David A. Hurley’s, Hopeful Visions, Practical Actions: Cultural Humility in Library Work; and “sketching otherwise im/possibilities: meditations against and beyond the state,” in Teresa Y. Neely and Margie Montañez’s, Dismantling Constructs of Whiteness in Higher Education: Narratives of Resistance from the Academy. 

nicholae is librarian for media studies, gender studies, & philosophy at Indiana University Bloomington, while Jorge is a community college library worker in Austin, Texas.
