🖊️ Notes of the session


✨---------------✨---------------

Please note down anything that could be relevant for future documentation: main talking points, interesting tools or projects mentioned during the session, relevant links...


"The minoritised majority"
Knowledge justice (instead of K. equity or K. ?????)
Most texts on the web are "eurolingual" (languages stemming from Europe)
Justiça do conhecimento (em vez de K. equidade ou K. ?????)
Language as proxy for knowledge; language as thinking in/as
Internet as being mainly in English
Problem cause most "reliable sources" are in English
Academia is largely male, white…






As an example, for my main topic (horse breeds), we have more than 30 differents existing horse breeds cited in reference books for the UK, and only 5 differents breeds for all West Africa... (sorry I'm french please correct feel free^^) - see with this SPARQL request : https://w.wiki/37jb

    • Good point! Who gets to name the horse breeds? What's cool about Wikidata is you can then approach this from another angle - horses that won races anywhere in the world that have their breeds recorded. Guaranteed you will find breeds not in those UK reference books

Horse breeds name have been given by French colonizers according to my sources, wo described West African horses as "degenerated", and since there have been no good update of this :/ But this is still the problem of existing sources : how can we give visibility to local sources ?

  • Part of the conversation on knowledge justice needs to be the participants at each step of knowledge curation (I am thinking about all the authors of publications that come after the first author in OCLC metadata)
