Queer Data Days
A Wikidata Gender Diversity Project Event
15 & 16 March 2024 at 14:00 - 19:30 GMT
A two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform
The Wikidata Gender
Diversity<https://wigedi.com/> project is proud to present Queer
Data Days, a two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform.
The aim of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers, activists, and artists
investigating or applying queer approaches to data and technology to meet in an open and
inclusive venue, share their latest work, and engage in fruitful discussion.
During the event, speakers with different backgrounds — both academic and non-academic —
will share short papers on a broad range of topics including queer data, queer identities,
queer language, data justice and power, queer design, and queer communities on digital
platforms.
The event will be held on Friday the 15th and Saturday the 16th of March 2024, from 2:00pm
to 7:30pm
GMT<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1710511200>00>. The first day will be
primarily centred on the Wikimedia ecosystem. Both days will include presentations about
the outcomes of the Wikidata Gender Diversity project.
The event is convened by Daniele Metilli (University College London), Chiara Paolini (KU
Leuven), Beatrice Melis (University of Pisa & Gran Sasso Science Institute), and Marta
Fioravanti (oio.studio), and organised by Ciara Adeniyi-Jones (University College
London).
