Hi All,
I am really excited to share with you the opening of a new job working within the
Programs Team at the Wikimedia Foundation: a Program Officer focused on GLAM and
Underrepresented Heritage.
As part of orienting our team to better support the Wikimedia Movement direction, we hope
this role can help us to better support tactics and strategies that are becoming important
among emerging communities wanting to get involved in GLAM programs -- including, for
example, leveraging digitization, WikiSource and Wiki Loves type events to document
marginalized knowledge. They will be working closely with our existing GLAM team,
including Alex Stinson and Sandra Fauconnier, to document and expand the impact of GLAM
partnership in the movement, and to help us advance the larger Equity and Infrastructure
goals of the movement direction.
We also hope that this role helps our team build increased depth of experience with
Wikimedia communities outside of North America and Europe, where existing GLAM communities
have a strong community of practice and from which Sandra and Alex (and Ben, the Programs
team director) have deep backgrounds.
If you know someone who is enthusiastic about or has deep experience facilitating
GLAM-Wiki or similar community initiatives, please share the job announcement with them:

Cheers,
Alex
