[Air-L] Wikihistories 2023

[Heather Ford]

For anyone who is interested, our wikihistories symposium will be taking place online tomorrow and Friday (depending on where you are in the world). The event is planned in 3 hour slots across two days at different times to be friendly to different timezones.

https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/

We have an excellent line-up of scholars – some of whom have been studying Wikipedia as a history-maker since its earliest beginnings, and others who are new to Wikipedia Studies. Our two keynote speakers are historians – one of memory studies, and another a historian of Jewish history and the Holocaust who recently published an explosive paper about Wikipedia’s skewed coverage of Polish-Jewish history.

Please consider joining us online for the conference by registering on the URL above or joining the project mailing list<https://groups.google.com/g/wikihistories?pli=1>. Conference talks will be available shortly after the conference for those who aren’t able to join us this week.

All the very best,
Heather
