New WMDE event series on knowledge equity - Publicpolicy

12 Jul 2021

Hi all,

as mentioned during the Lean BXL Meeting, WMDE just started an event series
discussing questions around the distribution of knowledge and thus power in
the tradition of the Wikimedia Salon
<https://www.wikimedia.de/projects/das-abc-des-freien-wissens/> and in
cooperation with with Deutschlandfunk Kultur
<https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/> (Radio station focusing on cultural
topics, reaching 4.41 million listeners daily).

Our guests at the first edition on July 1:

Dr. Emilia Zenzile Roig <https://www.emiliaroig.com/>, Founder and
Executive Director Center for Intersectional Justice
<https://www.intersectionaljustice.org/>, political scientist and book
author "Why we matter. The End of Oppression."

Dr. Christian Humborg
<https://blog.wikimedia.de/2021/05/10/christian-humborg-wird-neuer-geschaeftsfuehrender-vorstand/>,
Executive Director Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

Moderated by Christine Watty, editor at DLF Kultur.

The conversation (in german) was broadcast on the radio and it is available
as a podcast
<https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/wissen-macht-gerechtigkeit-wie-fair-ist-der-zugang-zu.4000.de.html?dram:article_id=499723>
including an article at Deutschlandfunk Kultur. The video of the
conversation is available on our Youtube channel
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6AEoaxs6L0>. If you like it, share it
with your networks! Emilia Roig was already featured with an interview in
the publication "The ABC of Free Knowledge"
<https://www.wikimedia.de/abcdesfreienwissens/wissensgerechtigkeit/#emilia-roig>
.

The idea is to stimulate a broader public debate on issues related with
knowledge equity as a fundamental strategic goal of the Wikimedia Strategy
2030
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/de>.

A website is being created with more background info. We plan on having
discussions for example on the role of Wikidata in the knowledge society of
the future and much more. Feedback is very welcome!

Greetings
Lilli
