Hi all, 

I'm currently conducting some research on the experiences of self-identified women editors on English Wikipedia. Despite the studies and articles discussing how so few women edit, still very little is known about the experiences of women who actively edit English Wikipedia and their perceptions of the gender gap. The goal is to make these findings useful to the Wikimedia/Wikipedia community (and the broader public). (I also welcome feedback about creative ways to do this!)

I'm seeking interviews with self-identified women editors of English Wikipedia who have been actively editing for 2+ years. This interview would take place over Skype, phone, or email, and your involvement would be completely confidential (and much appreciated)! If you're interested in participating, please email me at mcdona51@purdue.edu.

If you'd like to learn more about the project, here's the link to the Wikipedia research page. And please feel free to ask me any questions!

Thanks! 

Danielle
