[Gendergap] BINGO!
Right now the Science Online conference is taking place (#scio2012 if you're a Twitter person!), and this was shared with me: http://lockerz.com/s/176163501 It's a BINGO card that was passed out during a session on science blogging while female. I do love A bingo card is not an argument and Demand for citations to back up blogger's account of her own experience. A recently discussion that took place on another mailing list I'm on was about how to bring humor into situations where discussing sexism (i.e. opening up a panel discussion or a workshop about the not so pleasant subject, as smart humor can help shake the tension in the room and make people more comfortable). I do have to say - this BINGO card is one clever way to do that. -Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* */Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow/* Support the sharing of free knowledge around the world: donate today http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=WMFJA085/en/USutm_source=WMdonateutm_medium=sidebarutm_campaign=20110130SB003language=enuselang=encountry=USreferrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwikimediafoundation.org%2Fwiki%2FHome ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
[Gendergap] New Moderator
Hi everyone, I wanted to say welcome to our new moderator of the Gender Gap list - Kevin Gorman. Kevin is an advocate for minding the gap, as a student at UC Berkeley, he is the first to bring the ambassador program to a women's studies department, which will be executed this spring. Kevin has the patience and ability to maintain sensitive subjects on Wikipedia and beyond, showing his ability to be patient, yet honest, on subjects such as men's rights, domestic abuse, and beyond. As a colleague, I have been nothing but impressed with Kevin's input, honesty, and strength regarding sensitive subjects. Both Sue and I are delighted to have Kevin involved here in the list; thank you Kevin! -Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* */Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow/* Support the sharing of free knowledge around the world: donate today http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=WMFJA085/en/USutm_source=WMdonateutm_medium=sidebarutm_campaign=20110130SB003language=enuselang=encountry=USreferrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwikimediafoundation.org%2Fwiki%2FHome ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap

Re: [Gendergap] New Moderator
This one is an ethnic studies course, not a women's studies course :) but it's still going to be awesome anyway, and will hopefully lead to valuable collaborations with both departments - I think there's pretty awesome synergy between our mission and the mission of the academy in general, but especially between us and departments like these. I'm primarily an editor on ENWP, under the username kgorman-ucb. I also am involved in various other real-world outreach (including some gendergap related stuff,) and was a communications intern for the foundation for a while. Anyway, hi y'all.
