Architecture + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon

Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon initiated by Noémie Despland-Lichtert (Roundhouse) and Brendan Shea (2426).
Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well documented. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. Architecture represents an important part of cultural production where gender trouble is terribly pronounced.
Let’s change that. Join us for a communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to architecture, feminism, feminist and queer spaces. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, and refreshments. Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.
Please create a Wikipedia account for yourself in advance of the Edit-a-Thon.
