This class surveys the literature on women judges and teaches students how to do historical and biographical research on marginalized subjects.

Only 17% of Wikipedia biographies are on women subjects, and a mere 9% of Wikipedia editors are women.

Few women judges have full Wikipedia biographies. Entries on women judges or other gender issues (like the Newcomb Institute!) have serious flaws. In addition to developing a critical perspective about the biases of history and knowledge production, I hope students will also leave the class as critical consumers infused with a sophisticated understanding of the many biases shaping digital sources of information.

While we will discuss the literature on women judges and gender and digital literacy, the class will be a hands-on workshop where students create and curate knowledge by creating their own Wikipedia pages on neglected yet important women judges.
