Revision as of 06:06, 6 February 2013
My name is Sarah Stierch.
I'm the US OpenGLAM Coordinator for the Open Knowledge Foundation. I am also the Wikipedian in Residence at the World Digital Library. I have also served as Wikipedian in Residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives and Archives of American Art.
I am deeply committed to the concept of open culture and free knowledge. I believe that the concept of open culture is imperative to meeting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 27.1: " Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits."
I live in Oakland. I have my Masters of Arts in museum studies from George Washington University and my bachelor's in Native American Studies. My background is in curatorial practice focusing on fine art and history. I used to be a make-up artist and a DJ, too!
