Late last week, attorney and writer Stephen Harrison reached out to me. He was tasked with writing a piece about neutrality and Wikipedia in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder for Slate.
Stephen was familiar with my work tangentially in the Wikipedia community but also became more familiar with my work on equity through my essay for an upcoming MIT Press collection, Wikipedia @ 20. Stephen also contributed to the volume.
He asked my thoughts about the discussions on Wikipedia surrounding BLM, George Floyd, neutrality, and knowledge equity. The resulting piece he put together is really brilliant. If you haven’t yet, go read it.
