Corrections, updates, and Academic Career[edit]

Hi, I am an official representative of Peter Baldwin and would like to update the entry and enrich it with valuable information. We respect the rules of the Wikipedia community and have signed the official agency/Wikipedia agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Statement_on_Wikipedia_from_participating_communications_firms. We adhere strictly to the guidelines and therefore leave it up to the members of the Wikipedia community to make or reject changes for us. Could someone for whom there is no conflict of interest please review the following content we have proposed? See the proposed changes below in the text.

Intro: Peter Baldwin is a research professor of history, not a "professor of history". The first sentence should therefore be corrected to reflect this. https://history.ucla.edu/sites/default/files/cv.pdf

Peter Baldwin (born December 22, 1956) is a research professor of history at the University of California, Los Angeles, Global Distinguished Professor at New York University, and a philanthropist.

Academic Career: Sentences from intro and Philanthropy moved to this section.

He was educated at Harvard (MA and PhD, both in History 1980 and 1986), and Yale (BA Philosophy and History, 1978). He has written several books on the comparative history of Europe and America.

Baldwin also serves on the boards of the New York Public Library, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Central European University, and as chair of the board of the Center for Jewish History.

Philanthropy: The Endagered Languages Documentation Programme is not at SOAS, but the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. https://www.bbaw.de/en/forschung/endangered-languages-documentation-programme-eldp

Arcadia-funded projects include the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

Publications: Some minor errors in the final two publications. Should instead be as follows.

Fighting the First Wave: Why the Coronavirus was Tackled so Differently across the Globe (Cambridge University Press, 2021)
Athena Unbound: Why and How Scholarly Knowledge Should Be Free for All (The MIT Press, 2023)
