==About==

==Collaborations in Feminism and Technology Wikipedia Edit-a-thon==

FemTechNet Wikipedia Meetups aim to engage underrepresented voices on the world’s largest encyclopedia, sustaining engagement not only through active participation in editing and creating new articles, but also through a critical understanding of greater systems and cultures that impact its content. The committee assists in coordinating efforts toward editing Wikipedia throughout the network, from university class sessions to workshops to local edit-a-thons.

A collaborative event hosted by Barnard College Library, The New School, and the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. This edit-a-thon will focus on the (gender gap) in Wikipedia through short lessons, discussion, and hands-on editing.
