Where We Live

What will you do once you’re vaccinated? The CDC says people who’ve been vaccinated can gather together.  And grandparents who got the shots can visit with grandchildren.

Connecticut residents may soon be able to return to some type of “normal” now that Gov Lamont has just announced all residents over 16 are eligible for the vaccine starting April 5th, 2021.

We want to hear from you. How will these latest guidelines affect your interactions with relatives/friends?

GUESTS:

• Helena Rogers - New Haven resident
• Carolyn Jackson - Hamden resident
• Dr. Carlos del Rio - Distinguished Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Emory University School of Medicine, and Professor of Global Health in the Department of Global Health and Professor of Epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health

When you want to learn about an obscure topic, where do you turn? For many, it’s a free, online encyclopedia which now contains more than 55 million user-created articles. This hour, we talk about 20 years of Wikipedia.

We get a behind the scenes look at the sites’ editing process, including the tools the Wikipedia community has developed to fight misinformation.

And we talk about how some users are working to address the site’s persistent gender, racial, and geographic disparities.

Are you a “Wikipedian”?

GUESTS:

• Molly White - Longtime Wikipedia editor based in Boston, Massachusetts
• Sherry Antoine - Executive director of AfroCROWD, a Wikimedia initiative to improve engagement of people of African descent in Wikipedia in both content and editorship
• Ariella Rotramel - Assistant Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Intersectionality Studies at Connecticut College
