Knowledge Injustice in the Theological Library

This paper gives an overview of my work with decolonial and postcolonial issues in the theological library based on my 2023 doctoral work for my Doctor of Ministry degree. In it, I assign the roles of keepers, producers and providers of knowledge to theological librarians and examine these roles through a framework from Kwok Pui-lan. I include thoughts and interpretations from a wide range of decolonial and postcolonial thinkers as well as aspects of ritual theory. I also draw from survey work I did of Catholic Theological Union students and theological library directors.
