About the translate-a-thon

Do you read or write in more than one language?

Are you looking for ways to:

  • Promote the linguistic and cultural knowledge possessed by our students, faculty and staff?
  • Help students build a sense of agency around their own learning and think critically about the information they take from the Internet?
  • Help students appreciate the value of their access to information as part of CUNY and as bilingual or multilingual people, and consider ways to share that value?

If so, we would love for you to be a part of the first run of a Wikipedia translatathon, to be held on Wednesday, October 11th from 2-4pm in room E-106!

This is an event where people get together and translate articles from one Wikipedia language site to another. Participants will work on articles of their choosing, but we will be translating and learning the process together. You don’t need to have any experience with Wikipedia to participate – we will provide a training at the beginning of the event with everything you need to get started.

We hope to use this opportunity to test out the process before opening it up to all students, faculty and staff at LaGuardia for a full-scale translatathon in the spring. Colleagues here at LaGuardia and at institutions around the country are incorporating Wikipedia writing into their courses – this is particularly so at elite four-year institutions and in the STEM fields. Translatathons have recently been held locally, such as at MoMA, but we know that LaGuardians possess a wealth of linguistic and experiential knowledge that deserves to be shared.

Come help us make this happen! Please RSVP via the Google form at this link: RSVP FORM
