"Wiki edit-a-thon" workshop with Gretchen McCulloch | Monday 23 May 2016

Time:
Venue: Arts Two 2.17

"Wiki edit-a-thon' workshop
Gretchen McCulloch

The purpose of the workshop is to help improve social science research focused on language, bringing in varied disciplines such as theoretical linguistics, sociology of language and sociolinguistics, language typology, psychology of language and related articles on Wikipedia and to learn more about how linguists can engage with the wider public.

This workshop, led by Gretchen McCulloch, will provide training in editing Wikipedia for complete beginners, plus time and support for independent or small-group editing by beginners and more experienced editors. We’ll be focusing on three main areas: research stubs (too-short articles), under-documented languages, and biographic articles of female researchers, researchers of colour, and other minority researchers.

The workshop will take place on Monday 23rd May, from 10:00-14:00 (with lunch included) in ArtsTwo (room 2.17), at Queen Mary University, Mile End campus. For more info, and to book your place, please click this link
