Hello. I am a Master's degree student in the department of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

As a researcher of 'the Wiki', I am most interested in how it may impact discursive regimesof knowledge production around the planet, in or outside of academia. You may find an introductory chapter-in-progress to my Master's thesis on, of all places, my Myspace profile. I am currently residing in New York City where I collaborate with two Computer Science Ph.D students at Columbia University. We are devising ways for computers to visualize and read discursive patterns (such as discursive coherence and dissonance).

In 2007, I also plan on spending more time with the "Collaboratively Building Concepts" Wikiversity learning project I've started.
