contents Digital (Un)Belonging: Black Trans Men's Information Practices in Marginalizing Sociotechnical Systems Chris Wiley Proceedings of the Association for Information Science and Technology ABSTRACT Black trans men experience digital platforms as spaces of both exclusion and possibility. This poster presents a qualitative study in progress, drawing from semi‐structured interviews (n = 8 to date, with a goal of 12) and a planned Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis (CTDA) of 12 podcasts, Instagram videos, and YouTube content. Guided by a sociotechnical systems approach, the study examines how Black trans men navigate information practices across intersecting systems of race, gender, and technology. Preliminary findings highlight four emergent themes: intersectionality, epistemic resistance, visibility management, and platform navigation. These early insights illustrate how marginalized users negotiate information ecologies that often render them invisible while simultaneously building infrastructures of care and knowledge. 10.1002/pra2.1521 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
