  • Microaggressions in Librarianship

    supposedly I’m a same sex marriage expert

    My colleague was at the reference desk and a student asked for information on same sex marriage. My colleague went into my office (while I was teaching a class), gave this student my business card and said, we have a gay librarian (me) and he is an expert in same sex marriage (not true- I was married in Canada to my partner who is now deceased). This all occurred at a public university campus in New York City (not Canada). Just because I’m gay, that does not mean I’m an expert in same sex marriage.
