Hi! The John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage (Brown University) has teamed up with WikiEd to look for a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar who specializes in Ethnic Studies. Full details on the position can be found here, and information about WikiEd's Visiting Scholars program can be found here. I figured I'd post this here because I know there might be people in the Boston area who may be interested / may know others who may be interested. I'm the primary contact at Brown for the position, so please feel free to email me if you have any questions! We'd like to have a Visiting Scholar in time for the fall semester.

Wikipedia Visiting Scholar (Brown University)

Brown University and the John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage would like to work with an experienced Wikipedian to improve topics related to ethnic studies. Examples include, but are not limited to diasporamigrationsocial movements, and/or political economies of social inequality and racial formation. They would also be interested in supporting the improvement of articles about literary and historical figures important to understandings of Native American, Latinx, and Asian-American cultural histories.
