2019 Feminisms and Rhetorics Conference

The event is open to registered attendees of the 2019 Feminisms and Rhetorics Conference

Registered participants in this editing workshop will join members of the CCCC Wikipedia Initiative Task Force to improve Wikipedia’s representation of intersectional feminisms and rhetorics. In the spirit of the 2019 Feminisms and Rhetorics conference theme, we will prioritize issues of inclusion and enact a DIY approach to public scholarship. The focus of the workshop will be introducing first-time and novice editors to Wikipedia through methods that will enable them to feel confident editing Wikipedia in the future, and, by extension, making the diversity of what we know available to the public via the fifth most visited website in the world. We will take action to address Wikipedia’s knowledge gaps by expanding coverage of diverse feminist rhetoricians, activists, movements, and ideas.

Please bring your own laptop, tablet, or mobile device to participate.

About Feminism and Wikipedia
We are excited to work with you to diversify Wikipedia's coverage of women. The vast majority (at least 85%) of Wikipedia's editors are (white) males. (See See Gender bias on Wikipedia) Although Wikipedia is among the top five most visited websites online, its content reflects the knowledge of its editors. This workshop presents a unique opportunity to collaborate and work towards a great cause. We, in the subfield of Feminisms and Rhetoric, have the power to diversify Wikipedia coverage by improving and adding more articles about notable women representing a diversity of intellectual and cultural contributions.

Wikistorming Wikipedia, or crowding the space to edit its pages with more diverse content about gender, has been a popular practice among feminists since the first Art+Feminism Editathon in 2009.

This global event coincides with efforts to deepen Wikipedia’s representation of women across racial/ethnic backgrounds. For example, Howard University's Black History Editathon in 2015 and AfroCROWD and the Schomburg's collaborations with AfroCrowd NYC/AfroCrowd/Schomburg_Black_Power offer powerful models for us to develop comprehensive strategies for filling Wikipedia’s content gaps, as we represent our disciplinary knowledge. The organizers of this event have drawn on their comprehensive organizational resources to assist our participants and partners with Wikipedia editing.

As you consider what you’d like to edit, we encourage you to learn more about Wikipedia's gender gap at WikiProject Women, the racial gap at WikiProject African diaspora, and the race/gender gap at WikiProject Women in Red/Black history.
