Emary, Leah, Hinnie, Lucy, Nevell, Richard, Moore, Lucy and Poulter, Martin (2023) Democratising Care, Democratising Knowledge: Global and Local Perspectives on Democratising Knowledge with Wikimedia. In: Un-Discipling the Museum? Changing Practices of Care, Knowledge, and Display. Museum Ethnographers Group Conference 2023., 18-19 Apr 2023, Cambridge, UK.

Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item (Paper)

Abstract

This talk draws on examples from across the spectrum of current Wikimedia work in the UK and
looks at questions of equity, representation and decolonisation praxis. Examining methods of
work, including labelling, acquiring and displaying images, and adding new articles to English
Wikipedia, this talk will explore what it is to edit Wiki in today’s context, where the barriers and
pitfalls can lie, and how we can work together to best surmount these and create a more
equitable digital space for open knowledge.
