Welcome back to Wiki Wednesday! As part of the Digital Rhetoric Collaborative’s current focus on activism in online spaces, we’re dedicating a series of Wiki Wednesday posts to interrogating Wikipedia as a site for making, sharing, and circulating meaning. We’ve already shared a few posts that work toward this focus. Heather Lang’s reflection on some of the obstacles she faced as a female graduate student trying to adapt to the culture of Wikipedia kicked off our series.

(As of 2/2/2018 this post has been archived from Storify and shared below) Last Friday's Twitter #DRCchat to celebrate Digital Learning Day (#DLday) was terrific.These chats continue to impress us all, especially in terms of how they allow for multiple viewpoints and voices.
