Wikipedia & Academia: How the world's largest encyclopedia promotes harm and what we can do about it

Join Dr. Kyle Keeler for an exploration of how public knowledge is crafted and controlled on Wikipedia, and a hands on workshop to learn how to use Wikipedia's Page History xtool to pull editing statistics and identify problematic editing patterns.
Coordinated by Digital Scholarship Services, this expert talk and workshop invites faculty of all disciplines to practice their critical understanding of and engagement with the public information juggernaut Wikipedia, and to build a local community of scholars interested in collaborating on addressing it's limitations, misinformation, and knowledge exclusions.
