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(a)purdue.edu.
If you'd like to learn more about the project, here's the

to the Wikipedia research page. And please feel free to ask me any questions!
Thanks!
