SUMMARY:Women in Media and Communication Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Despite being one of the biggest informational resources 
 available\, Wikipedia has a troubling gender gap: in the English language 
 version of Wikipedia\, it’s estimated that only 10-15% editors are 
 women\, and women are the subject of less than 20% of all biographical 
 pages. Recent research from the Annenberg School has documented how 
 feminist edit-a-thons are able to successfully intervene in these gaps and 
 add more content about women. \n\nWe invite you to put this research into 
 practice with us. We will have a Wikipedia edit-a-thon Wednesday\, April 13 
 in the Annenberg School for Communication Library. Join us for an afternoon 
 of editing Wikipedia pages for women in communication and 
 media.\n\nAnnenberg researcher Isabelle Langrock will share tips for 
 greater impact based on her study of Wikipedia editing initiatives. We will 
 provide editing training\, a list of articles to get you started\, research 
 materials and support\, and snacks (format TBA). \n\nYou can come for the 
 whole time or just drop in. We encourage you to bring a device to work on\, 
 but if you need a computer\, just email katie.rawson@asc.upenn.edu. We’ll 
 also be available via Zoom during the edit-a-thon - register here if you 
 would like to join remotely.
