What is Wikipedia’s relationship to data? What should Wikipedia’s relationship
to data be?

Full CFP at: https://wikihistories.net/wikihistories-2024-wikipedia-and-as-data/

The 2024 wikihistories symposium is co-located with ICA Gold Coast and brought
to you by the wikihistories project at the University of Technology Sydney in
partnership with the Centre for Media Transition, the ARC Centre of Excellence
in Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADMS+)
and Wikimedia Australia

Date and time: Wed 19th June 2024, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm (in person)

Location: Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia

Deadline for submissions: 15 February [we may extend this]

This symposium will gather together social scientists, humanists, critical
technologists, and others to investigate Wikipedia’s connection to data and the
importance of this relationship for the global information ecosystem and the
production of knowledge. The workshop will be organised as a day-long, face-to-
face event prior to the annual International Communication Association
conference on the Gold Coast in Australia.

Participants will be invited to share short presentations and to participate in
discussions focused on the questions “What is Wikipedia’s relationship to data?”
and/or “What should Wikipedia’s relationship to data be?” Participants will also
agree to read a few background papers prior to the gathering. The workshop will
result in a collaborative document that maps out possible areas for researching
these questions from a sociotechnical lens and the option to continue the
collaboration post-symposium.

To participate, please complete the following web form, including a 250-300 word
abstract outlining your contribution to the symposium themes.
