"I never let my students use Wikipedia!"

Sound familiar?

Writing at Queens invites you to participate in its upcoming workshop on Wikipedia. In this workshop, participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at how Wikipedia entries are created, edited, and debated, and how these practices can be used to reinforce responsible research practices. Join us and learn how you--and your students-- can use Wikipedia effectively and responsibly.
