:'''Pronouns:''' he/him

I grew up in Nevada, did my undergrad (in English!) at BYU in Utah. After graduating, I was the product manager for a small [https://www.lingotek.com/ collaborative translation company] in Utah. I decided that I was a lot more interested in understanding people than designing software, so I went to grad school. I did a Master's degree at Purdue, studying with [https://www.cla.purdue.edu/communication/directory/?p=Seungyoon_Lee Seungyoon Lee], and then worked on a PhD at Northwestern with Aaron Shaw, as a member of CDSC. I'm now back at Purdue in the [https://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/communication/ Brian Lamb School of Communication], this time as a faculty member.

Most of my current research is focused around understanding how people decide where and how to participate in online communities--why people start new communities, how community membership influences future behavior, and how communication structures relate to community outcomes. I'm particularly interested in how these decisions scale up into the social construction of understanding, knowledge, and opinion. More about my research is at my [http://www.jeremydfoote.com academic homepage].

Much of my spare time is spent with my family (my wife and I have 5 kids!). I love the Midwest but really miss hiking and skiing in the mountains and try to do both as much as possible.

:'''Pronouns:''' he/him

After contributing peer production communities in various ways since I was a teenager, I began to realize (the hard way) that building community online is... difficult and complicated! After being (mostly) convinced that academia was the right place to fix this, I've spent an increasingly large portion of my life to trying to contribute to an emerging science of Internet-based collaborative production. Since beginning my academic career, I have published tens of thousand of [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q103184 articles]! Sadly, nearly all of them are words [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L2768 the], [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L2767#F1 a], and [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L2767#F2 an].

In the more boring accounting (which I've copied and pasted from elsewhere): I am an Associate Professor in the University of Washington Department of Communication and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the departments of Human-Centered Design and Engineering as well as in the Information School and the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. At UW, I am also Affiliate Faculty in the Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences, the eScience Institute, and the "Design Use Build" (DUB) group that supports research on on human computer interaction. I am also a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and an affiliate of the Institute of Quantitative Social Science at Harvard.

Much more information is on [https://mako.cc/academic/ my academic homepage].  If you need to find me, I have put [https://mako.cc/contact/ more detailed contact information online] than I probably should.

:'''Pronouns:''' he/him

Hello! I'm Aaron. I grew up around New York and went to school for a while in northern California. Along the way, I got involved in participatory movements and projects of various kinds. At first, these were more traditional movements advancing egalitarian social agendas. Over time, more of them became peer production projects, online communities, and other sorts of open collaboration online.

These days, I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern where I am affiliated with the [http://mts.northwestern.edu Media, Technology & Society (MTS) Program] and the [http://tsb.northwestern.edu Technology & Social Behavior Program], courtesy appointed in the Sociology Department, a faculty associate of the Institute for Policy Research, the Buffett Institute for Global Affairs, the Center for Human-Computer Interaction + Design, and the SONIC lab. Elsewhere, I am a faculty associate of the [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society] at Harvard University. A good place to find more information is [http://aaronshaw.org my website]. If you'd like to get in touch, please [mailto:aaronshaw@northwestern.edu send me an email] (and don't be shy about re-sending if I don't reply).
