This assignment prepares students for the required “practice experience” (PE) of the Global Poverty and Practice (GPP) Minor at UC Berkeley. Each student will work on at least two Wikipedia articles – one focused on an aspect of the history/sociology of their PE site (eg. a country such as the U.S., Chile, Kenya, Malaysia ... or it could be a city or region such as Lima, Peru or the San Francisco Bay Area); and the second focused on an aspect of key debates/approaches present in their PE sector (eg. water sanitation, community health, microfinance, worker-cooperatives, collective action, food justice, affordable housing).

Over time, the GPP program anticipates that current cohorts of GPP 105 students will return to past 105WikiR-edited articles and so learn from and build upon the work of preceding cohorts while all the time bringing thoughtful analysis and information on global poverty and inequality to Wikipedia.
