Hope A. Olson is Associate Dean and Professor at the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. She was previously a professor at the University of Alberta. From 2000 to 2004 Olson was the editor-in-chief for Knowledge Organization and she currently serves on its editorial board. She also serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Library Metadata. Olson has authored or co-authored over thirty peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and has published three books: ''Subject Analysis in Online Catalogs'', 2nd ed., co-authored by John J. Boll (Libraries Unlimited, 2001); ''Information Sources in Women's Studies and Feminism'', editor (KG Saur, 2002); and ''The Power to Name: Locating the Limits of Subject Representation in Libraries'' (Kluwer Academic, 2002). She received a B.A. from Gustavus Adolphus College, an M.L.S. from the University of Toronto, and a Ph.D. (1996) from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Olson's research focuses on critical analysis of subject representations and classification systems. Using feminist, poststructural, and postcolonial perspectives, she examines the biases inherent in hierarchical organizational structures. ==Critical analysis of library classification== Olson draws on deconstructive theory to question the functionality and legitimacy of traditional knowledge organization. Employing Drucilla Cornell’s adaptation of deconstruction (“the philosophy of the limit”), Olson examines the marginalization imposed by the structural limitations of library catalogs. In her research, Olson explores the ethical consequences of inadequate representation and emphasizes the desirability of using knowledge organization as a change agent for the enrichment of users. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hope A.
