We are also critically examining the ways in which the field outside of critical library scholarship has largely left pervasive whiteness unchallenged by historically defaulting to whiteness and leaving conversations of race out of library literature.10 Our Methodology As we established the UEP, several fundamental theoretical lenses shaped our vision. Prior to becoming a librarian, Teresa Helena Moreno was trained in feminist studies and critical race and ethnic studies, work that has found a natural home in the field of critical librarianship. Women of color feminisms and critical race theory in particular are often invoked in critical librarianship as helpful tools for unpacking and applying a critical lens, especially with regard to the conceit that neutrality in libraries is a myth and that the root of the problem is
