IET Events for Faculty

Wikipedia, although frequently the first stop for anyone seeking general information about a topic, has been criticized as having no place in a true academic endeavor. Recently, however, two Franklin & Marshall professors have turned this notion on its head by “adopting” the writing and editing of a Wikipedia article as a class. In our first workshop we will hear directly from one of those professors, Amelia Rauser, Art History, about her experiences with Wikipedia this past semester in her Exhibiting Fashion course.
This event is open to F&M faculty only.
