Caroline Myrick
Senior Analyst, Wikimedia Foundation
About me
I began working for the Wikimedia Foundation in June 2022. My background is in the social sciences, focusing on language diversity and social inequality. I hold a Ph.D. in Sociology and an M.A. in English Linguistics. I have worked as a university instructor, a data scientist in the nonprofit sector, and a data analyst in the public sector. I am passionate about data transparency, language diversity, and knowledge equity.
My work
I am an analyst on the Research team. My work focuses on
- Knowledge Gaps, to understand and address structural inequalities in Wikimedia projects and the online ecosystem; and
- understanding Wikimedia volunteer developers (one of four audiences the Research team serves), and Wikipedia admins.
For projects and presentations, see below.

However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
