Hello friends, I posted a wrong date in my previous email about “Looking for Wikipedian to support Art+Feminism event at Tshwane University of Technology”. The date for the event is 19th March. We’re still looking to find an experienced Wikipedian. If anybody is interested to volunteer, please let us know. Many thanks. -Mohammed From: Mohammed Sadat Abdulai Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 11:26 AM To: Wikimedia Chapter South Africa Cc: Art + Feminism Subject: Looking for Wikipedian to support Art+Feminism event at TshwaneUniversity of Technology Hello friends, My name is Mohammed and I am a regional ambassador for Art+Feminsm in Africa. We are currently looking for an experienced Wikipedian to support an Art+Feminism workshop at the Tshwane University of Technology between 09h30-14h00 on February 08, 2019. The volunteer would basically assist the event organizer (who happens to be less experienced with Wikipedia) provide a short How-To-Edit-Wikipedia training for the participants of the event. Kindly let me know if you can help. Thank you. Mohammed -[[User:Masssly]] http://www.artandfeminism.org/

Using wikipedia for graduate teaching
by Nimi Hoffmann 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

Hi everyone I teach a postgraduate course in African social policy at Rhodes University. This year, I'm considering getting my students to create a wikipedia entry on an under-covered topic as part of their assessment. Has anyone had any experience with this? I'd love to hear stories about how you've done this. Have so much to learn!

Wiki Loves Africa - South Africa
by Adri Baard 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Dear Wikimedia ZA members Just a quick email to let you all know that entries for Wiki Loves Africa will be open from 1 Feb - 1 March 2019. The theme for this year's competition is play and you can read more about it here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2019 We all know that there are too few images of Africa on WikiCommons and the Internet in general and this is a great initiative to help towards the goal of raising awareness across the continent and the globe. I'm managing the project on behalf of South Africa and as this is my first Wiki Project I would like to challenge any one that hasn't participated in a project before to be part of this one. There are three activities that I need help with: 1. Upload sessions 2. Judging 3. Contacting potential entrants If you are able to help with any of the above, please let me know. Kind regards Adri (user: A3_Baard)

Fwd: [Air-L] Africa Oxford Internet Research Fellowship Opportunity
by Douglas Scott 27 Nov '18

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dariusz Jemielniak <dariusz.jemielniak(a)fulbrightmail.org> Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 at 18:05 Subject: Fwd: [Air-L] Africa Oxford Internet Research Fellowship Opportunity To: Douglas Scott <douglas.i.scott(a)gmail.com> Would this be of interest to anyone you know? If yes, please pass along best, dj ---------- Forwarded message --------- Hi Everyone, I'm circulating details of a great fully-funded fellowship opportunity for African scholars to write and collaborate with peers at Oxford University for a period of 4-8 weeks. The fellowship dates are usually sometime around July - September, but are flexible. It's a great opportunity for African faculty members who need time away from teaching and other duties to get some writing done. The program is currently accepting applicants for the 2019 fellowship cohort. Details for the fellowship are here: Most relevant to this listserv, my colleagues and I at the Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy at Oxford University would love to find someone for this fellowship who might be interested in collaborating with us on an ongoing research project we are running on internet and conflict in Africa (http://pcmlp.socleg.ox.ac.uk/conflictnet/) . That includes the political economy of "connecting the unconnected" in remote regions in Africa, the role of the internet in the lives of conflict affected migrants, and the relationship between social media, misinformation and conflict in the African context. There is great scope for the fellow to help shape the project as it evolves.
