#FeminismToMe: Goethe-Institut Wiki-Workshop and Edit-a-thon

Join us for the Goethe-Institut Washington feminist-themed edit-a-thon workshop, co-led by Dr. Hester Baer of the University of Maryland and representatives of Wikimedia DC.

Dr. Hester Baer will discuss the importance of editing Wikipedia from a feminist perspective, while Ariel Cetrone of Wikimedia DC will discuss the role that edit-a-thons play in achieving equality of representation through engaging with online resources and having a say in how the world’s largest free online encyclopedia is written.

As a starting-off point, we will be providing a list of Wikipedia articles that are already in need of work, most of which deal with women in the culture and history of German-speaking countries. Translating articles from German to English is encouraged and vice-versa. Participants are asked to bring their own laptops, which must be able to connect to the Internet.
