Expanding digital collections, and a general reluctance to weed them, will have a compounding impact on the exponentially increasing carbon footprint of big data storage. Simultaneously, institutions are facing challenges from increasing extreme weather events posing threats to physical storage. With scholars relying heavily on archives and digital collections to discover materials, libraries are beginning the labor-intensive process of rethinking their approaches to metadata, including subjects and keywords, along with their approaches to processing and collection development. The global climate crisis has brought intersectional issues into conversation and driven scholars to research through a climate justice lens that sheds light on the disproportionate impacts on marginalized communities.

While the emergence of anti-trans policies is a broad form of trans antagonism, the ability to participate in athletics is a form of connection to community and care. We will contrast this with the findings of empirical academic research, which suggests that equal opportunity and inclusion in athletics is not only a protective factor for the mental and physical health of trans individuals but presents an important form of “sustaining hope” within the community of trans youth.Ĭare and justice critically interact when considering youth participation in athletics. We will discuss through a critical lens the cisheterocentric nature of state laws and association policies concerning trans participation in athletics. Though the topic of trans participation in athletics has become an acute political topic in recent years, our research pushes past the polarization of this debate and examines the existing empirical evidence relating to trans care, inclusion, and justice in athletics. The concept of “care” not often centers trans people within the discourse of participation in athletics. Transgender Athletic Participation: A Systematic Literature and Policy Review
