Title: Wikipedia Editing as Research Inquiry
Date and Time: Jan. 20, 11am – 2pm ET.
Register for the event via Zoom
What to Expect:
For our January event, we are planning a three hour live-editing Zoom session during which CCCC WI co-chairs Alexandria Lockett and Matt Vetter will showcase Wikipedia editing as research inquiry – sharing scholarly insights and strategies as they develop Wikipedia articles about topics ranging from 19th century Black Women’s rhetorical activity to the educational ethics of generative AI.
This interactive session will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to ask questions, make suggestions, and actively engage with the editing process. The three-hour timeslot, additionally, is meant to encourage more fluid participation. Please attend for any amount of time during that period that works for your schedule.
Key Highlights:
- Live Editing: Witness real-time edits and gain insights into the thought processes behind them.
- Q&A Session: Pose your questions directly to Dr. Alexandria Locket and Dr. Matt Vetter, who will be leading the event.
- Collaborative Environment: Contribute your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas to enrich the Wikipedia content related to writing research and pedagogy.
Thank you! On behalf of the CCCC Wikipedia Initiative Team,
