Sara Thomas on Knowledge Equity and Wikipedia
Channel: Wikimedia UK
Date: 2022-11-22

Dr Sara Thomas, Scotland Programme Coordinator at Wikimedia UK, talks us through the projects working on bringing knowledge equity to the Wikimedia sites.

Knowledge equity has long been a focus of Wikimedia UK's work, with projects to address the gender gap, minority languages, queer history, and generally people and subjects who have been excluded by structures of power and privilege.

Sara's focus on Scotland has fostered partnerships with prestigious institutions like the University of Edinburgh and the National Galleries of Scotland, while also supporting smaller organisations like Protests and Suffragettes to add their knowledge to the wiki projects.

You can support projects like these that enrich Wikipedia for us all by donating to Wikimedia UK. If you're a UK taxpayer, an extra 25% can be added to your donation when you add Gift Aid, at no extra cost to you.
