Dear all -- forwarding on behalf of my MIT colleague -- a virtual edit-a-thon this week! All are welcome.

Join us the week of August 17 - 21 for the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Design Virtual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon and learn about the BIPOC in the Built Project, a collaborative effort between student researchers in the MIT School of Architecture + Planning and MIT Libraries. During the Edit-a-thon, participants will build community while creating new and editing existing Wikipedia pages of BIPOC designers.

 

After a short introduction held live via Zoom on August 17 at 3pm, stay for the kick-off of our week-long virtual Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon where attendees can participate in training and begin editing Wikipedia pages of designers who have left their mark on the fields of art, architecture, art history, activism, landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design and more connected to the built environment. No prior experience editing Wikipedia is required and edit live or at your leisure.

 

RSVP here to attend the introduction and to get the daily zoom links to the live editing events and slack channel. Help us track edits by registering your user name through the dashboard link in the calendar RSVP and get a schedule for the week.
