The New Media Writing Studio will host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon workshop. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian and reference materials so participants can help increase the representation of women on Wikipedia.
This workshop is inspired by other feminist Wikipedia Edit-a-thons such as the 2015 Art + Feminism Edit-a-Thon (see articles at Art+Feminism, Bitch Magazine, and Art News).
