12:30pm-6:00pm
Cook Library, Room 208
Join us for a do-it-yourself and do-it-with-others campaign that teaches people of all gender identities and expressions to edit Wikipedia to increase representation of cis and trans women, non-binary people, people of color, and Indigenous people and their artistic work on Wikipedia. Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female; more recent research puts that number at 16% globally and 23% in the United States.
Trainings will begin at 12:30pm, 2pm, and 3:30 PM in Cook Library Room 208
