Wiki-A-Thons as Community Builders

The Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada (LGLC) project set up a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to increase the visibility and representativeness of the French-speaking Canadian LGBTQ2IA+ movement on this platform. The LGLC project recognized the need to fill the gap in content on the LGBTQ2IA+ movement in French-speaking Canada compared to English-speaking Canada and wanted to call on the community to rectify the situation via this event, which took place in the fall of 2023. In our final session of the Fall semester, Humanities Data Lab research assistants Pascale Dangoisse and Farinaz Basmechi will present on the results of this activity, and the avenues for the future. Location: Univeristy of Ottawa CreatorSpace (Pérez Hall, room 302).
