        Subject: Wikihistories 2023

For anyone who is interested, our wikihistories symposium will be taking
place online tomorrow and Friday (depending on where you are in the
world). The event is planned in 3 hour slots across two days at
different times to be friendly to different timezones.

https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/

We have an excellent line-up of scholars – some of whom have been
studying Wikipedia as a history-maker since its earliest beginnings, and
others who are new to Wikipedia Studies. Our two keynote speakers are
historians – one of memory studies, and another a historian of Jewish
history and the Holocaust who recently published an explosive paper
about Wikipedia’s skewed coverage of Polish-Jewish history.

Please consider joining us online for the conference by registering on
the URL above or joining the project mailing
list<https://groups.google.com/g/wikihistories?pli=1>. Conference talks
will be available shortly after the conference for those who aren’t able
to join us this week.

All the very best,
Heather
