Hi all,
Also, Lily Tororinova who is a librarian at Rutgers and who was involved in the Wikipedia
Visiting Scholars program there might be able to put this professor in touch with some of
the local Wikipedians / librarians. I’ve cc’ed Lily on this.
Looks like there are a lot of options here.
Best,

Thanks! I'm forwarding this chain to Adeline. I'm also adding Monika Sengul-Jones,
who was recently hired by OCLC.

Adeline Koh was one of the big influencers who got me interested in Wikipedia a few years
ago, especially as the gender gap relates to the digital humanities. It looks like
she's at Stockton University in NJ near Atlantic City. Not sure if she's an active
Wiki person anymore, but she would be great.
I also recommend Heather Hart from Black Lunch Table, though I'm not sure of her
availability. Heather has been doing a great unheralded job with her initiative, which is
focused on Visual artists of the African Diaspora and the gender gap. She has been
actively conducting editathons across North America, with plans to do outreach
internationally in the next year. She has presented at Wikipedia Day 2017 and at the
recent unconference for Women Journalists that was at ThoughtWorks NYC shortly after the
Inauguration.

About:
The Black Lunch Table (
BLT)<http://www.theblacklunchtable.com/> is an ongoing
collaboration between artists Jina Valentine
(
Fishantena<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fishantena>
(
talk<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fishantena>)) and Heather
Hart<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Hart>
(
Heathart<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Heathart>
(
talk<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Heathart>)) which intends to fill
holes in the documentation of contemporary art history. In its 10 year existence, the BLT
has taken a variety of forms relating to this most recent iteration, in the form of the
Wikipedia edit-a-thon. BLT’s aim is the production of discursive sites (at literal and
metaphorical lunch tables), wherein cultural producers of color engage in critical
dialogue on topics directly affecting our communities. They endeavor to create spaces,
online and off, mirroring the activity and creativity present in sites where Blackness and
Art are performed.

I am not close, but Pharos might know someone.
Also, Adeline Koh is at Rutgers, and historically did some really good stuff with
Wikimedia, and Adrienne on minority women. She has been very successful at organizing
these events, and getting significant contribs.
Cheers,
Alex

I've received a speaker's request that I'm not available to do,
and the coordinator has asked me to see if anyone from the
NJ-NYC area could run this workshop instead. I believe there
would be an honorarium. See below:

A couple years ago you did an intro to Wikipedia editing workshop for the Telling Untold
Histories unconference at Rutgers-Camden. I'm wondering if you would be interested and
available to do another intro workshop at our next unconference, which will be May 11,
2017 at Rutgers-Newark.
The unconference is attended by many cultural heritage professionals as well as community
members, students, and educators. Our goal is to introduce attendees to the power of
Wikipedia to insert lesser known stories into the discourse.
Let me know if you have any questions and what you think!
Best,
Mary
