Teach-In: Information Privilege and Wikipedia
In this teach-in, we will explore issues around information privilege, bias in knowledge creation, and social justice and how you can become a digital activist by editing articles on Wikipedia.
Love Wikipedia? We do too! Wikipedia, as a free, open access resource, aims at democratizing knowledge. Yet, because its editor base is largely white men from the Global North, perspective bias along gender, racial, and national lines is a problem. But you can do something about it!
No experience with Wikipedia necessary. Registration is encouraged but not required.
Facilitated by Laura Surtees, Joyce Angelucci, and Camilla MacKay from LITS.
