Masukume, Gwinyai – Studies in Higher Education, 2020
Do academics, both directly and indirectly involved with healthcare, have a moral mandate to ensure that Wikipedia has the most accurate, up-to-date and understandable information? From the perspective of a physician who is also a long-time Wikipedia editor, the ethical, moral, and power dynamics of the medical community's interaction with…

Mahowald, Kyle; Dautriche, Isabelle; Gibson, Edward; Piantadosi, Steven T. – Cognitive Science, 2018
Zipf famously stated that, if natural language lexicons are structured for efficient communication, the words that are used the most frequently should require the least effort. This observation explains the famous finding that the most frequent words in a language tend to be short. A related prediction is that, even within words of the same…

Lustig, Jason – History Teacher, 2021
The prevailing long-term trend in university history instruction--especially when one considers the rise of the historical seminar in the nineteenth century and the source-method of teaching in the twentieth--has been towards teaching methods of analysis. That is to say, by reading documents and sources, students can learn a way of looking at the…

Ramirez, Michael; Marquez, Amanda – Association of Mexican American Educators Journal, 2021
Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, is accessed by over 1.5 billion users each month, yet remains stigmatized in the academic world.

Thomas, Paul – College & Research Libraries, 2021
While many LIS publications have focused on Wikipedia, no LIS study has used intersectional class analysis to consider the site as a transmitter and reproducer of hegemonic ideology. Using both Antonio Gramsci and LIS theorist Michael Harris as starting points, this paper argues that Wikipedia is predicated on a philosophy of pluralism that serves…

Park, Diana E.; Bridges, Laurie M. – Communications in Information Literacy, 2022
There is a common classroom refrain, "Don't use "Wikipedia"; it's unreliable." Unfortunately, this simple dismissal of the world's largest repository of information fails to engage students in a critical conversation about how knowledge within "Wikipedia" is constructed and shared. "Wikipedia" is available…

This article is inspired by long-standing calls to address issues of anti-Indigenous racism and colonialism within higher education.

While EDI and Indigenization…

Wyatt, Liam – Studies in Higher Education, 2020
The theory and practice of Wikipedia has a common heritage with professional history. In spite of the project being very new, the number and variety of its authors and the ambivalence of academia towards it, Wikipedians have created an encyclopedia that upholds high standards of scholarship and encyclopedism. Simultaneously it provides universal…
