WOW2019: **The worlds of Wikimedia: **communicating and collaborating 
across languages and cultures**, at University of Sydney, 12-14 June
2019.*
The United Nations declared 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous
Languages to celebrate the world's rich cultural diversity and heighten 
awareness of cultures at risk. As a free, multimedia publishing site, 
Wikipedia has unrealized potential for supporting such cultures in terms
of languages, traditions and different knowledge systems. This 
conference invites participants to consider the breadth of human 
experience and wisdom and how they can best be served by digital 
technologies and the Wikimedia movement. We welcome papers that address 
Wikimedia's role in enhancing global diversity from a range of 
perspectives including education, digital communication, indigenous 
knowledge, GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums), Disability 
Studies, Internet studies and big data, as a means to investigate new 
methods of collaboration to broaden inclusion across all levels of
society.
Topics can refer to any of the various Wikimedia projects, as well as 
language and cultural diversity, and could address, but are not limited
to:
* Language preservation
   * Indigenous storytelling
   * Andragogy and pedagogy
   * Theories of knowledge
   * Open knowledge
   * Decolonizing the Internet
   * Digital methods for online diversity and abilities
   * Orality and Literacy
   * Resolving conflict in online communities
   * New archival practices
   * Innovative Case Studies and projects
Other related topics will also be considered.
Please submit abstracts up to 250 words via EasyChair 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wow2019 [1]> by March 12. 
Acceptance by March 20.
