Grants talk:IdeaLab/Teach people to recognize and avoid committing harassment

Training

Training is hard. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants_talk:PEG/Ada_Initiative/Gender-gap_admin_training&diff=prev&oldid=15671554 --Nemo 17:01, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Examples

With harassment being prevalent in communities beyond our own there is existing work to document and share this knowledge. Perhaps it would be useful to collect presentations, training materials, and other examples to better articulate how the Wikimedia movement could be successful in this area. I'll start things off and encourage others to add to this.

• Data & Society Research Institute Attorney and Internet Law & Policy Foundry fellow Amanda Levendowski presents on "...the online harassment taxonomy and platform permeability matrix that she developed to help users, designers, researchers and platforms conceptualize problems in online communities."
• The Ada Initiative Ally Skills Workshop materials include slides, facilitator's guide, examples, and a video
• The Guardian's series "The web we want" on "the rising global phenomenon of online harassment" covers the problem of harassment and potential solutions.
