Hi All,
I am really excited to share with you the opening of a new job working within the Programs Team at the Wikimedia Foundation: a Program Officer focused on GLAM and Underrepresented Heritage.
As part of orienting our team to better support the Wikimedia Movement direction, we hope this role can help us to better support tactics and strategies that are becoming important among emerging communities wanting to get involved in GLAM programs -- including, for example, leveraging digitization, WikiSource and Wiki Loves type events to document marginalized knowledge. They will be working closely with our existing GLAM team, including Alex Stinson and Sandra Fauconnier, to document and expand the impact of GLAM partnership in the movement, and to help us advance the larger Equity and Infrastructure goals of the movement direction.
We also hope that this role helps our team build increased depth of experience with Wikimedia communities outside of North America and Europe, where existing GLAM communities have a strong community of practice and from which Sandra and Alex (and Ben, the Programs team director) have deep backgrounds.
If you know someone who is enthusiastic about or has deep experience facilitating GLAM-Wiki or similar community initiatives, please share the job announcement with them: https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/1236692
Cheers,
Alex
