 First and Third Fridays 1.00 pm

La Trobe editathon 2021 ''Zoom Meeting link ''Mailing list

This is the organisation page for the 2021 La Trobe Uni Pride editathon. The plan is to work together over several weeks to coordinate writing and improving biographies. A celebration of the pages created will be held at the University's awards night in December. These efforts aim to recognise the work of underrepresented LaTrobians people — mainly women, people of colour, and queer/trans folks to redress existing biases, and to provide more visible role models.

Timetable

 * Friday 16th April (eventbright link; mailing list): Launch during Pride week with Quinn Eades, Tasha Weir, and Thomas Shafee.


 * April: Identify past and present La Trobe folks who could be – but aren’t – in Wikipedia


 * May - September: Fortnightly gatherings to collaboratively research, draft, proofread, and upload biographies.

 * November/December: Showcase at La Trobe annual staff awards evening sadly didn't occur
