Hello everyone, Ciell, thank you for taking out time to introduce me to everyone. I am quite excited to be part of this network.
Just to quickly introduce myself to everyone. I am Mesha Murali, based in Delhi (India). I have previously engaged with various gender, heritage and urban history based projects and hope to bring that experience in my diversity, equity and inclusivity research for Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM). I am really keen to learn more about everyone’s thoughts and experiences working with WLM. So please feel free to write to me on the following id: [email protected] Thank you everyone who has written to me so far, I would be individually reaching out to you to get a more in-depth understanding of your WLM experiences. Looking forward to connecting with everyone. Hope you have a great week ahead!
