Dr Kirsty Ross
Dr Kirsty Ross joined the Wikimedia community in August 2019, at a training session delivered by @Stinglehammer. In 2021, she, along with Dr Sara Thomas (Wikimedia UK) and Dr Abd Alsattar Ardati, co-founded the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility in Open Knowledge Network (IDEA Network for short) at the University of St Andrews. She won the Up and Coming Wikipedian of the Year (UK) in 2022 for her efforts with the IDEA Network. Since then, she has explored a plethora of ways to integrate Wiki projects into teaching, knowledge exchange, and research. Kirsty likes to hang out primarily on Wikicommons and Wikidata, with occasional forays into Wikipedia. She considers herself to be a WikiShepherd.
Sessions
Educational Wiki collaboration with universities isn’t new. This workshop will offer a new perspective on Wiki collaborations with universities through the lens of research, with the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility in Open Research Network (IDEA Network) at the University of St Andrews as a case study.
The workshop will be suitable for anyone with knowledge, experience, or interest in implementing Wiki research projects within educational institutions, including those involved in knowledge exchange, teaching, or research.
