Juneteenth + Pride Month Programming and Events[edit]This Juneteenth and Pride Month, the CCCC Wikipedia Initiative is hosting two speaker series events to support knowledge equity on Wikipedia. In addition, the CCCC Wikipedian-in-Residence will continue to hold office hours. CCCCWI Speaker Series: Wikipedia Editing for Knowledge Liberation[edit]This month, join Dr. Alexandria Lockett for a two-day exploration of how Wikipedia editing affects knowledge production about the arts of rhetoric, composition, and literacy. She will provide plenty of hands-on support and resources throughout the event. On Day 1, Dr. Lockett will deliver a presentation that addresses three main topics: the emergence of new technologies and data, inclusive citation practices, and strategies for integrating knowledge communities across space and time. After the talk, participants will be trained on how to edit Wikipedia by Savannah Cragin, the CCCC Wikipedian-in-Residence. There will be opportunities to improve and create Wikipedia articles related to pivotal scholars and scholarship on rhetoric, composition, and literacy. On Day 2, all participants will be able to begin or continue editing an article(s) of their choice, as well as identify specific projects and practices that they plan to integrate into their teaching, research, and/or community engagement. Dates and Times:
