- Abstract (up to 100 words)
This talk will present some key lessons from the way the Feminist movement dealt with equity challenges over the years. I will draw explicit parallels to challenges we face, in knowledge representation, source selection, and countering bias, about many different topics (not only gender-related). I will suggest things we could change or adapt in Wikimedia projects based on the accumulated wisdom and successes of the Feminist movement.
- How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region of Central and Eastern Europe?
I hope attendees would adopt some feminist techniques to improve knowledge equity on Wikimedia projects (not just around gender). There are many under-represented topics in CEE (including in many cases regional history, minority groups), and the issues the Feminist movement dealt with continue to be relevant.
- Do you plan to pre-record a video with a presentation?
No.
(But a recording of an earlier version of this talk, given at Wikimania 2018, exists).
