The choice of words has a lot of weight in establishing how we think and how we create a narrative for the subject matter under scrutiny. My question for Emily Emily Drabinski is: If one can say that one of the ways we are able to record biases and other values that are inextricably linked to a certain time period, is through looking at how material has been categorized throughout time, which can aid in independently thinking critically about one’s source, do you think that this unintentional quality to classification will be lost in the future as there is more and more material/data to be preserved and recorded, if queering the catalog becomes the norm?
