About me
I am a PhD candidate in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington where I perform research in the fields of HCI, CSCW, UCD and other fun acronyms. My dissertation research involves studying WikiProjects as complex systems and developing tools to support WikiProject-based collaboration. I've conducted academic research on discussions around controversial article topics[1][2], Wikipedia policy [3][4] and new editor engagement[5]. I have also helped develop several open-source communication & collaboration tools, like this one and this one.
My first edit to Wikipedia was in 2006. I've been performing gnomish edits since 2008 as Jtmorgan.
I have an MS from UW, and a BA in philosophy from St. John's College. I am a voracious and omnivorous reader, and a passionately amateurish musician. In my (ever-diminishing) spare time, I also enjoy trail running, kayaking and a good game of racquetball.
My work
I am a Research Strategist with Learning & Evaluation group within Grantmaking and Programs. I currently provide technical infrastructure and data analytics support for the Brazil Catalyst Project, Individual Engagement Grants, the Wikipedia Education Program among other initiatives. As a Wikimedia Research Fellow, I helped design and launch the WP:Teahouse, a new user help and socialization space on the English Wikipedia. I also advised and supported other Community Fellowship projects around improving dispute resolution and user help documents.
I started at the Foundation during the 2011 Summer of Research. I worked on research sprints focused on new editor participation patterns(1,2), and WikiProjects (1,2).
