En “abling” Change: How Wiki Education is tackling disability on Wikipedia

Tuesday, April 22, 2025
11 am Pacific /  2 pm Eastern

REGISTER

According to the WHO, roughly 1.3 billion people or 16% of the world’s population has a disability. Despite this substantial number, disabled populations are often left out of the conversation. Through its work with the WITH Foundation, Wiki Education strives to improve disability-related content on Wikipedia, and in doing so, to shed light and accuracy on a topic that is all too often ignored or distorted. Join us for a conversation on our work around disability on Wikipedia on Tuesday, April 22 (11 am Pacific / 2 pm Eastern).

Panelists:

• Ryan Easterly, WITH Foundation
• Skylar Covich, Braille Institute of America
• Terri Hlava, Arizona State University School of Social Transformation

This edition of the Wiki Education Speaker Series will be moderated by Helaine Blumenthal, Senior Program Manager. We invite you to bring questions for our panelists!
