About me

My first edit to Wikipedia was in 2006. I've been performing gnomish edits since 2008 as Jtmorgan. I'm also a, a, and occasionally review research projects for the research newsletter.

I have a PhD in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington where I perform research on HCI, CSCW, UCD and other fun acronyms. My dissertation research involved studying WikiProjects as complex systems and developing tools to support WikiProject-based collaboration. Other areas of Wikipedia that I've studied include discussions around controversial article topics[1][2], Wikipedia policy [3][4] and new editor engagement[5]. I have also helped design other open-source online collaboration systems, like this one.

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

With the Learning & Evaluation team I provide design, development, data analytics, and research mentorship for other programs and initatives such as the IdeaLab, the Brazil Catalyst Project, Individual Engagement Grants, and the Wikipedia Education Program.

As a Wikimedia Research Fellow, I helped design and launch the WP:Teahouse, a new user peer-support hub on the English Wikipedia. Info on how Teahouse came about, and why it is the way it is, available here. I also 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 several research sprints focused on new editor participation patterns(1,2), and WikiProjects (1,2).
