Hello Wikipedians,
I am helping to organize a Wikipedia edit-a-thon on July 10, 2018 at Boston University Libraries. In anticipation of the upcoming 2018 Wikimania Cape Town conference, our theme for this event will be the Global South: Bridging Knowledge Gaps.
We would like to have someone speak or share information on the topic of Wikipedia’s global gaps for no more than 10-15 minutes. If you or someone you know is in the Boston area and interested in giving an informal intro to this topic, let me know. In addition, if you have any links or videos to provide on this topic, feel free to share.
Thank you for any assistance you might provide.
Regards, Laura

Phoebe Ayers at the MIT libraries would be a great person to ask. (And is probably on this list already :)

Also, if you want someone who can talk about the challenges of representation for Evelin (known as Scann in the CC and Wikimedia Communities) https://twitter.com/scannopolis is from Argentina and is a fellow at Harvard right now, and specializes in digitization, free culture and representation of culture on the internet. I can put you in contact, if you need her info.
Cheers,
Alex
