Alexander Chow
My real name is Alexander Chow and, on many social media websites, my username is caorongjin, the pinyin form of my Chinese name (simplified Chinese: 曹荣锦; traditional Chinese: 曹榮錦; pinyin: Cáo Róngjǐn).
I work professionally as a senior lecturer in the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, in the areas of Christian theology and world Christianity.[1][2] Some of my academic writings can be found listed on my academic blog.
Wikipedia in the classroom
In early 2016, I read in the Times Higher Education[3] and a related peer-reviewed journal article[4] about how educators were using Wikipedia for course assignments. Inspired, I too thought it might be a good idea. The results can be found here:
- Wikipedia:University of Edinburgh/Selected Themes in World Christianity (Autumn 2016)[5][6]
- Wikipedia:University of Edinburgh/Selected Themes in World Christianity (Autumn 2017)
We also ran a one-off event trying to redress the lack of biographical articles on women in religion through an edit-a-thon in 2016:
