This syllabus instigates discovery and learning within an educational context and aims to reveal the socially and historically produced orders and hierarchies that underlie library catalogues. This learning and teaching material includes conversations with practitioners and collectives currently working on alternative models proposing de-colonial and feminist methodologies for changing normative concepts of validating, preserving, and making available diverse knowledges.
