  Crowdsourcing Wikipedia (Elizabeth)

  Apr 30, 202622 minS13

  <p>Elizabeth explains Wikipedia’s “Women in Red” edit-a-thons, where editors work to turn red links (missing pages) into blue links, focusing on gaps in women’s, especially Black women’s, representation and the notability bias that can lead to women’s pages being challenged or rejected.

  Navigating Misinformation and Disinformation (Ayanna and Brady)

  Apr 8, 202629 minS13
