About me

I am a PhD candidate in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington where I perform research on 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 also conducted academic research on Wikipedia—on discussions around controversial article topics[1][2], Wikipedia policy [3][4] and new editor engagement[5]. I have also helped develop several other open-source online collaboration systems, like 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

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. 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).
