Caption Image 4: Screenshot Visualization Tool (version 1), based on the first prototype with University library Utrecht; developed in collaboration with DensityDesign[1] during the Digital Methods Summer School, Amsterdam (2019).

Screenshot of FST Visualization Tool (version 2), based on the IHLIA catalogue and the Homosaurus, 2020. The question of "Why are the books I read so white, so male, so Eurocentric?" is central at the top. Selected are 5 clusters on the top left: Race, Gender, Sexuality, Disability and Structural Oppressions. The x-axis is composed of a selection of Homosaurus terms linked to a certain cluster. The y-axis depicts the 20 most encountered publishers in the IHLIA Heritage Collection catalogue.
