Greetings! I am User:Groceryheist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Groceryheist
I'm new to the list! Happy to be here!
I'm a graduate student at the University of Washington and I research online collaboration. My PhD advisor is Benjamin Mako Hill, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Benjamin_Mako_Hill who you may know.
I'm writing to introduce myself, and also to invite you all to join my class next quarter. You see, I'm teaching a class on online communities, which was last taught by Mako in the Fall of 2015. As before, a substantial part of this class has the students learning Wikipedia and how to edit (using WikiEdu <wikiedu.org>). Last time, some of you visited class to debrief with students about their experiences with Wikipedia. I think that meeting Wikipedians in person can be a powerful learning experience, and may increase the chances that students stay involved with Wikipedia beyond the course. I hope that some of you would be willing to come visit my class on Thursday February 14th at 1:15.
Thank you for your generosity!
