Greetings! I am 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!
