I am interested in art and visual culture, Midwestern museums, the history of Kansas City, and especially histories that have yet to be fully represented. My passion is supporting efforts to bring women artists to light. To that end, I participated in the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. This gave me a chance to connect with Wikipedians in person and learn a LOT about best practices. I have now co-hosted two edit-a-thons and have another coming up in November.
As an educator, I am thrilled to discover Wiki Ed and all of the supportive resources available in the community. My art history students are excited about editing Wikipedia this semester for their writing assignment, and I love that their great work will be shared with the world beyond our classroom.
Disclosure: My first article was about a topic with which I am very familiar, the Arabia Steamboat Museum. I do work at that museum but did my best to write the article objectively and cite verifiable outside sources. In the near future, I hope to expand articles for other notable local museums.
