[[File:Shaw-2017.jpg|right|300px]] Hello! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern and a Faculty Associate of the Berkman-Klein Center at Harvard University. I also helped co-found the CDSC and am one of the faculty members in the group. Among various other affiliations, I am a faculty member in the [http://mts.northwestern.edu Media, Technology & Society (MTS) Ph.D. Program] and the [http://tsb.northwestern.edu Technology & Social Behavior Ph.D. Program]. I have a few too many profiles in various parts of the Web, all of which I struggle to keep up to date. A good place to find current information is usually [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).

== Resources ==
* Asking me for a reference or letter of recommendation? Please [[User:Aaronshaw/LOR_resources|read this first]].
* [[User:Aaronshaw/Course_policies|Course policies]]. The policies that govern my classes at Northwestern. I will try to update these and usually link to them from my course syllabus.
* [[User:Aaronshaw/Assessment|Assessment rubrics/policies]]. The assessment rubrics and policies I use in my classes. These are stated as generally as possible to enable me to use them across many kinds of courses and assignments.
* [[User:Aaronshaw/Better_Wikipedia_citations|Better Wikipedia citations]]. I teach about Wikipedia pretty often and, maybe as a result, students (correctly!) assume that I am comfortable with them citing Wikipedia as a reference. However, too many attempts to cite Wikipedia are of poor quality for various reasons. After seeing the problem and telling people about it a few times, I decided to write up a solution here so that it can be a more public resource.
* An archive of my [[User:Aaronshaw/COVID_policies|COVID policies]] that applied to several courses I taught during the pandemic. I don't expect to use these again anytime soon, but have maintained them here.
* [[User:Aaronshaw/dsmw_panel|Materials (topics, questions, prompts)]] from a panel on content governance and moderation that I hosted at the [https://dsmw.cs.princeton.edu Decentralized Social Media Workshop] in early 2024. These are mostly here in case I need to find them later, but maybe someone else will find them useful too?
