Hi Gerard,
Yes, diversity is a lens you can apply to every area (content, people, governance, etc.). I don't think it is more used for people than for content (actually, I do research cultural diversity in content).
The question you posed on how the lack of diversity in content affects the needs of the readers is an interesting one. It is quite in line with the Strategic recommendation Prioritize Topics for Impact, which proposes to study which topics have a more positive impact on society. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Recommen...
Best, Marc Miquel

Hoi, The issue then is that diversity is seen as an issue with our collaborators and not so much as an issue of the needs of our audience.
Having said that, has there every been done a study on how and where the lack of our diversity in our content exists and how it affects our audience? Thanks, GerardM

Hi Gerard,
I agree it is a good practice to try to find a definition. In my understanding, diversity is the range of differences in a series of
things,
people, cultural traits, etc. So, diversity applied to Wikimedia, it can
be
understood as to how well the different profiles in society are engaged
in
contributing to our projects, how the different governance structures
allow
different profiles to access positions in decision-making, how the communities capture all the different available knowledge in certain geographical contexts, etc.
Thanks for asking. Best, Marc ᐧ

Hoi, Ah yes, I can read.
In my mind when conferences are held on a particular subject and it is
not
clear what the subject is, "how can there be a solution or progress. It will be whatever people think it is and results will not be results,
they
are what happens anyway. Not knowing what your subject is is not SMART.
So, again what is meant by diversity"?

That can be an output of the conference. Is not it?
