Queer Data Days - Wikidata Gender Diversity

The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (wigedi.com) is delighted to present Queer Data Days, a two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform.

The aim of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers, activists, and artists investigating or applying queer approaches to data and technology to meet in an open and inclusive venue, share their latest work, and engage in fruitful discussion.

During the event, speakers with different backgrounds — both academic and non-academic — will share short papers on a broad range of topics including queer data, queer identities, queer language, data justice and power, queer design, and queer communities on digital platforms. View the full schedule and list of speakers.

The event will be held on Friday the 15th and Saturday the 16th of March 2024, from 2:00pm to 7:30pm. The first day will be primarily centred on the Wikimedia ecosystem. Both days will include presentations about the outcomes of the Wikidata Gender Diversity project.

The event is convened by Daniele Metilli (University College London), Chiara Paolini (KU Leuven), Beatrice Melis (University of Pisa & Gran Sasso Science Institute), and Marta Fioravanti (oio.studio), and organised by Ciara Adeniyi-Jones (University College London).
