The Worlds of Wikimedia Conference theme was 'communicating and collaborating across languages and cultures'. The conference was held 2-14 June 2019 at the University of Sydney, Camperdown, New South Wales, and was a partnership between Dr Frances Di Lauro, Department of Writing Studies, and Dr Bunty Avieson, Department of Media and Communications, and Wikimedia Australia.
How does language determine what we know or how we experience the world? As the online realm increasingly converges with our offline experiences, it raises an important question: whose knowledge dominates these new spaces? Whose voices are missing, and what are the consequences of these inequities?
