The Power and the Pitfalls Part One with Dr. Heather Ford (434)

Jun 28, 2025

I’m joined by Dr. Heather Ford, ARC Future Fellow and
Professor in the School of Communications at UTS, to explore the
fascinating world of Wikipedia. Inspired by her article “We
analysed 35,000 Wikipedia entries about Australian places. Some of
them sanitise history”
in The Conversation, we
dive deep into the strengths and shortcomings of one of the
internet’s most beloved resources.

We unpack how Wikipedia works behind the scenes: who
edits it, how “edit wars” break out, and why it remains such a
radical platform — a place where history can be written in real
time, sometimes even before events unfold.

Together, we question whether Wikipedia offers an
honest account of Australia’s past, particularly when it comes to
Indigenous history.

This is a two-parter so be sure to tune in next week
for part 2.
