This course explores the relationship between diverse queer communities and forms of representation and knowledge production. Throughout the course, students will be conducting independent research in order to contribute to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Through Wikipedia, students will explore how to evaluate and critique articles for bias and gaps; develop effective research strategies for addressing those concerns; and hone their writing skills through an extensive process of editing and revising. Students will be guided through a series of online trainings that will teach students to write and edit Wikipedia entries and participate in the larger Wikipedia community. In the process, we will also be contributing to producing knowledge related to a range of issues and topics related to queer life and cultural representations of sexuality. This is an upper division research-intensive class, and students will be directly responsible for producing much of the content of the course through their own independent and group efforts.
