  <title><![CDATA[Brittain Fellow Alexandra Edwards' Summer Class Featured in WikiEducation]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>In Summer Session 2019, Dr. Alexandra Edwards&#39;s class &quot;Writing Women Back into STEM History&quot; undertook a research project with the goal of producing public-facing Wikipedia entries. Wikipedia&#39;s education intitiative has held up Dr. Edwards&#39; students&#39; work as a successful model of their mission to close the gender gap on Wikipedia. An article published on WikiEducation celebrates her class&#39; contributions to the site and highlights the work of the women they researched and about whom they wrote new biographies.</p>

<p>You can read the full article by Cassidy Villeneuve <a href="https://wikiedu.org/blog/2019/10/07/writing-women-back-into-tech-history/">here</a>.</p>

<p>Dr. Edwards also published a brief description of her summer teaching experience in a <a href="http://techstyle.lmc.gatech.edu/"><em>TECHStyle</em></a> article, &quot;<a href="http://techstyle.lmc.gatech.edu/7-brittain-fellows-reflect-on-summer-pedagogical-experiments-in-first-year-writing/">7 Brittain Fellows Reflect on Summer Pedagogical Experiments in First-Year Writing</a>,&quot; if you&#39;d like to read more about her class.</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
