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 & inclusion, and public access to information.

My work

I am an analyst on the Research team. My current work focuses primarily 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 more details about current and past projects, see below.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. 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.
