Hey folks,
http://www.cbc.ca/spark/2011/09/sue-gardner-on-wikipedias-gender-gap/
This is me being interviewed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about our gender gap. It's raw (uncut) tape so it's long -- I am guessing about 20 minutes. But you will probably find it interesting, due to the topic and also the fact that --although I don't name anybody-- I talk at some length about this list :-)
(You might disagree with how I characterize what's happening here -- i.e., I think I say at one point that the list has been sometimes 'hilarious,' and I realize I may be alone in thinking that. It's fine if you disagree, but I hope nobody finds what I said offensive -- it's meant affectionately, and with respect.)
Thanks, Sue

Awesome! I love how you compared the beginning of the list to the second stage movement <3
Preaching the importance and social impact of the work we are doing - I'm really glad you touched on this. I noticed when I did my interview with the WMF storytellers that I got very emotional about the impact I feel my work is doing. Just like invitations, I wholeheartedly agree about this. (I also see the use of social impact in my work within museum studies; it's an imperative tool in strategic planning and pitching projects, in a female dominated community).
Any chance for a transcription in the near future?

Great interview. :-) Good to hear that the media is still interested in reading the research on the topic, and discussing it.
