This will be a joint General Assembly for our user group as well as our

Edinburgh
Ewan will speak about his experiences with Wikdiata in his role as
Wikimedian in Residence at the University of Edinburgh. He's been in the
role since January 2016 supporting the university’s commitment to open
knowledge, and developing 21st century information literacy and digital
research and data skills. The University hosted the first 'Celtic Knot'
Wikipedia Language Conference in 2017, won a Herald Higher Education
Award
in 2019 for its Wikipedia in the Curriculum work
and produced a booklet
of
Case Studies of Wikipedia in UK education in 2020
(newly updated in

Latterly, Ewan has joined the University's GenderEd steering group and
submitted a chapter for the open access book, Wikipedia and Academic
Libraries, on "Changing the Way Stories Are Told" based on the
University's
gender equality work. Prior to this, Ewan has
worked as an English and
Media teacher in the Far East (Japan, Singapore and South Korea) and in
Scotland. He completed an Information Management degree in 2018,
volunteered with the Glasgow School of Art archives on their WW1 Roll of
Honour project, and has continued to manage a series of student
internships
