  1. Queer Library Alliance Goes to School Rae-Anne Montague Thaddeus Andracki raeannemontague.wordpress.com | rae@illinois.edu | tandracki.net | @tandracki

  2. Topics • Selecting materials with GLBTQ content to support curricular and personal goals • Challenges to providing access to resources • Developing collections and programming with GLBTQ content aligned with community needs

  3. Intersectionality “Consider an analogy to traffic in an intersection, coming and going in all four directions. Discrimination, like traffic through an intersection, may flow in one direction, and it may flow in another. If an accident happens in an intersection, it can be caused by cars traveling from any number of directions and sometimes, from all of them” (Crenshaw 1989).
